Woman in Black (Hard Rock Tribute)

Verse 1

Wonder

Why I always dress in black

Why you never see bright colors on my back

Why my makeup's smeared

Somber tone

Heavy things I have on

I am wearing the weight

Wearing the weight

Chorus

Ah I'd love to wear a rainbow every day

And tell the world that everything's okay

But I'll carry off this darkness on my back

'Til things are brighter I'm the Woman in Black

I'm the Woman in Black

I'm the Woman in Black

Drop

Black

The Woman in Black

Verse 2

I wear

For the poor and beaten down

Living in the rubble hopeless side of town

Daughters long gone from their class

Bombed in school

Shattered under glass

Blood on the floor

Open the door

Empty desk

Silent halls

Nothing left at all

Chorus

Ah I'd love to wear a rainbow every day

And tell the world that everything's okay

But I'll carry off this darkness on my back

'Til things are brighter I'm the Woman in Black

I'm the Woman in Black

I'm the Woman in Black

Drop

Black

The Woman in Black

Verse 3

Dead

165 buried where the playgrounds used to glow

Blackouts killing meds

Water turning sour

Darkness

Hour after hour

Mothers by the bunkers

Mothers by the ruins

Mothers by the gates

Faith in leaders

Faith in monsters

Faith in lies

Futures bought and sold

Futures bought and sold

Bridge

Fire burning everywhere you go

Fire burning till the sirens blow

Never catch me in a dress of white

Never catch me in the light

Not tonight

Not tonight

Chorus

Ah I'd love to wear a rainbow every day

And tell the world that everything's okay

But I'll carry off this darkness on my back

'Til things are brighter I'm the Woman in Black

I'm the Woman in Black

I'm the Woman in Black

Outro

Until the sirens fade

Until the debts are paid

I'm the Woman in Black

I'm the Woman in Black

Darkness on my back

Yeah

Black

Black

Black
