Black Dog
Only they know a dimension
that others cannot see
Through the doors of anguish
where dark terror turns the key
No light or peace can enter here
all joy is dead and cold
Abandoned in a realm of fear
without a hand to hold
CHORUS:
Only the tormented
can tell you how it feels
To be thrust into the abyss
with the Black Dog on your heels
Through dark and eerie canyons
groping, lost and blind
Searching for the doorway
they know they'll never find
Many walk among us
they look like you and me
Sad Souls incognito
from their own reality
Some just going through the motions
Some too far-gone to try
Some surviving on their potions
while some just hope to die
CHORUS
Some of us have been there
and most of us come back
Others never make it
when just hope is all they lack
But the Black Dog is a liar
his menace just a sham
When it goes down to the wire
he can’t change who I am
BRIDGE:
Now that Hell Hound, he still follows me
but I don’t really mind
I know he’s an illusion
a mirage of the mind
So when you hear him howling
don’t give up the fight
Stand your ground and face the hound
his bark’s worse than his bite
CHORUS
