The Blackest Crow

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

This cold, empty house is

So quiet now she's gone

The dust accumulates into

Mountains on the ground

My paper's piled on the steps

Her flowers all have died

I'm searching everywhere

For someone I'll never find

[Chorus]

The haunting never fades, laughter's gone away

It's too late, when you've lost your soul

I left her everything, she only left my ring

My world is darker now than the blackest crow

[Verse 2]

Shadows fill this place

She's been away so long

The wallpaper leaves a stain

Where pictures once belonged

You think I would have known

Something was going on

Her kisses were so cold

Her loving touch withdrawn

[Chorus]

The haunting never fades, laughter's gone away

It's too late, when you've lost your soul

I left her everything, she only left my ring

My world is darker now than the blackest crow

[Guitar Solo: Dave Mustaine]

[Interlude]

"They never do teach you

How to walk away from someone that you love."

[Bridge]

The haunting never fades, laughter's gone away

I know it's too late (when you've lost your soul)

The fires all but gone, my world is darker now

Than the blackest crow

[Outro]

The blackest crow

The blackest crow

The blackest crow

The blackest crow
