SHADES OF BLACK - Written by Carroll Bryant
Life was standing still as the gun fell from his hand
His eyes saw the darkness in the death of another man
Blood spilled out forever and the breath was taken back
His eyes saw the future and it was living
In shades of black
He left the scene so quickly he had forgotten where he was
Thinking about the moment and the woman that he loved
Driving down the fast road he saw his past come racing back
Living in a mystery and it was painted
In shades of black
No, you can’t hold out forever when the world comes crashing down
As motionless as time may be it still comes back around
You play the cards you’re given and then you stand against attack
Leave them with the taste of blood and drink it up
In shades of black
The wind can blow so heavy, the rain can fall so hard
Fear can numb the senses and the pain can ache your heart
In the heat of a broken moment emotions tend to crack
Shadows fall forever until you’re covered
In shades of black
No, you can’t give up so easy when the devil calls your name
As meaningless as time may seem it’s still the same old thing
You pay the price you’re given and you best not take it back
Leave them with tomorrows screams and broken dreams
In shades of black
Life was standing still as the judge slammed down his hand
His eyes saw the killer in the death of another man
Words spilled in the courtroom and his freedom was taken back
His eyes were the future and they were looking
At shades of black
No, you can’t hold out forever when the world comes crashing down
As motionless as time may be it still comes back around
You play the cards you’re given and then you stand against attack
Leave them with the taste of blood and drink it up
No, you can’t give up so easy when the devil calls your name
As meaningless as time may seem it’s still the same old thing
You pay the price you’re given and you best not take it back
Leave them with tomorrows screams and broken dreams
In shades of black
Leave them with the taste of blood and drink it up
In shades of black
