I was born in blood underneath a full moon
And I tried to love the God you
Put in my face but it was just a wound
You said, "listen to what he said
Underneath the cross he bared! "
But I'm no fool, there's always
Light and dark... and both leave a mark!

I'm not good! I don't claim to be bad
But sometimes it gets the best of me
My eyes shine
The end of brilliance in a pale beauty!
I was born under a black flag!
Washed ashore, where the soul passed
There ain't no coming back
Memories flood

Dead ancient lovers that can't ever love again
I'll meet you half way across
The bedroom and slide my hand on the cross
Don't say a word as we watch the "light" thin on the walls
Where it's so cold
Watch the breath as you move it'll make you whole
At least there's some feeling at all when they come
It's all I ever want

I'm not good! I don't claim to be bad
But sometimes it gets the best of me
My eyes shine
The end of brilliance in a pale beauty!
I was born under a black flag!
Washed ashore, where the soul passed
There ain't no coming back
There ain't no coming back

Listen to what he said underneath
The cross he bared!
I was born under a black flag!
Washed ashore, where the soul passed
There ain't no coming back
