Black Moon Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, the Devil is rising with the moon
He cries and my blood runs cold
Oh no, never was the darkness so black
No light and nowhere to go


[Verse 2]
My spirit is crying for a love
So tired of being alone
I remember he came here to steal
And you are his stealer of souls

[Chorus 1]
I see a black moon rising
And it's calling out my name
Oh, it's calling my name

[Verse 3]
I've been blinded, lost and confused
Darkness will call me no more
Ah, Heaven is no friend of mine
No God ever knocked on my door

[Chorus 1]
I see a black moon rising
And it's calling out my name
It's calling out my name
Oh, it's calling

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 1]
I see a black moon rising
And it's calling out my name
Oh, it's calling my name

[Verse 4]
I'm stranded on the dark side of time
Reaching for the power in her hand
She's weaving an unholy light
And calls from Lucifer's land

[Chorus 2]
I see a black moon rising
And it's calling out my name
An angel of Hell is rising
Heaven's no friend of mine
I see a black moon rising
And it's calling out my name, oh

[Chorus 3]
I see a black moon rising
And it causes so much pain
An angel of Hell is rising
Heaven's no friend of mine
I see a black moon rising
And it's calling out my name
[Outro]
Oh, it's calling my name, oh
My spirit's crying for love
Oh, Heaven's no friend of mine
Angel of Hell is rising
I see a black moon rising
