Hevaen's hung in black

I have no more wings
I can't take anymore
The gates of heaven sealed
Don't you hear me
Don't you hear me
Don't you fear me
Of never coming back
Do you know what it's like
When heaven's hung in black
I can't take anymore
The walls are black and bleed
I can't take anymore
No rooms here for your screams
Don't you hear me
Don't you hear me
Don't you fear me
Of never coming back
Oh, no more tears please
Hanging heaven black
No don't you leave me to die
Don't you leave me to die
Don't you leave me to die
No, don't you leave me to die
And you'll know what it's like
The wailing walls of sighs
Hanging heaven black
And you'll know what it's like
When paradise is blind
When heaven's hung in black
Time
How can you say that I've no time
Am I blind
Now you say that heavens blind, yeah
Across of sighs, blind, time, time
Oh Lord, don't you leave me to die
No, don't you leave me to die
Don't you leave me to die
No Lord, don't you leave me to die
And you'll know what it's like
The wailing walls of sighs
Hanging heaven black
And you'll know what it's like
When paradise is blind
Painting heaven black
Your losing heaven's light
Heaven's hung in black
Hevaen's hung in black
