Brent Walsh
Lady of Death
[Verse 1]
She was screaming at the sky
With her arms outstretched, head high
And no fear of God in her eyes
I couldn't help but stare
She was so god damn beautiful and so self-aware
I felt her draw me in
I was moving, but couldn’t control a single limb
I heard her hum, then my ears went numb
And with her perfect teeth and perfect tongue
She asks me:

[Pre-Chorus]
"How does it feel? Oh, how does it feel
To know everything you thought to be true isn't real?"
And her voice is lovely as she sings

[Chorus]
"Drink it in, have you ever seen
So many beautiful things destroyed in one piece?
Ain't it grand? Breathe it in
Have you ever seen how we color everything?
Well, sometimes it's all black and white."

[Verse 2]
With that she touches my temple and I tremble
I can't breathe and I fall to my knees
My eyes are wide and projecting out on the street
Like a movie screen, but with every scene
I feel the grief and all the pain
Of every death, of every final thought that left a brain
I feel the weight of everyone
Of all the sorrow, all the people who were never loved
And she asks me:
[Pre-Chorus]
"How does it feel? Oh, how does it feel
To know everything you thought to be true isn't real?"
And her voice is lovely as she sings

[Chorus]
"Drink it in, have you ever seen
Oh so many beautiful things destroyed in one piece?
Ain't it grand? Breathe it in
Have you ever seen how we color everything?
Well, sometimes it's all black and white
So why put up a fight?"

[Bridge]
Then it all went dark 'til I awoke in a room of white
The sound of my heart beating out of my chest
And the glare of floodlights
I hear them speak, but I can’t make out a thing
(Death is but frequency we all will feel eventually)
I see her face covered up by a mask
And she’s saying something
(Death is but a frequency we all will feel eventually)
Oh, but the voice is different

[Chorus]
So everybody sing, drink it in!
Can’t you see that we are the many beautiful things
That make up one piece?
Ain’t it grand? Breathe it in
Have you ever seen how we color everything?
Well, nobody bleeds black and white
Nobody bleeds black and white
