911 9 1 1 deep darkness Verse: Black Charcoal... Chorus: Pray Learn Passages History is today Great Towers, highest in the land Dropped to earth, a broken branch Reflecting off crimson granite Bridge: Black charcoal and deep darkness Rivers divide, courses unknown Vengeance bleeding, cultures stone Sacrifices, caskets down below Lessons, forgotten and retold (break) Eyes witness evil gifts Lies are meaningless [repeat] Black charcoal and deep darkness Tries a nations' forgetfulness Dance, fortune's harlequin After all the other ones (slow) Drummer drumming drones Gargoyle dreams are gone Ghostly smoke and mists (drum) Black charcoal and deep darkness Stinging pain and watery eyes Anger begets a rising tide See the big guns aimed Bleeding wounds contain Again old memories call Wars won brought downfall (upbeat) Black charcoal and deep darkness Neglect to bring further violence Stop grim destiny from yesterday No towers or saving grace Centuries of mistakes Stern messages Make (repeat) 911
