[VERSE]
Emptiness surrounds me in revolving darkness
Shades of hope shatter in the unexpected hours

[HOOK]
Remnants of the dreams scatter across my mind
While the medicine man continues to blind

[Chorus]
I can escape the fire for awhile
Avoid the flames for an icy revival
My baby, you won't recognize me now
They call me black beauty
They call me black beauty

[VERSE 2]
Running from the truth as you pull me under
Sinking here as you hold a veil across my eyes

[HOOK]
Remnants of the dreams scatter across my mind
While the medicine man continues to blind

[HOOK]
I can escape the fire for awhile
Avoid the flames for an icy revival
My baby, you won't recognize me now
They call me black beauty
They call me black beauty
[BRIDGE]

[Chorus]
I can escape the fire for awhile
Avoid the flames for an icy revival
My baby, you won't recognize me now
They call me black beauty
They call me black beauty

[Chorus]
I can escape the fire for awhile
Avoid the flames for an icy revival
My baby, you won't recognize me now
They call me black beauty
They call me black beauty
