Venture In Black

[Instrumental]

It's getting darker now

The evening light will not allow

Summer wind, growing cold

I'm passing by Despondent's Slough

And I hear the warning cries

The midnight sun it mystifies

Moving on, adjust my pack

Take a look at turning back

Dip a foot into the slough

There's no way I would trust it now

What is that just up ahead

A figure looms like the walking dead

I am nothing more than a friend

You're nearing the end

You should listen to me

Who told you you should venture in black?

You'll never get back

You should listen to me

You, my son, are laughable

Do you think you're untouchable?

Your father was a sad one too

He never made it back to you

I am now your trusted friend

Don't go where your father's been

I am nothing more than a friend

You're nearing the end

You should listen to me

Forget about this calling you've got

It's all in your head

You should listen to me

I am nothing more than a friend

You're nearing the end

You should listen to me

Who told you you should venture in black?

You'll never get back

You should listen to me

I'd turn back if I were you

'Cause you're all alone now

And nobody loves you

It doesn't matter what you do

It's a dangerous world

And nobody loves you

The summer's melting in the dew

You'd better go home now

You know that you want to

'Cause I'd turn back if I were you

So the young man in a hurry

Discouraged in his mind

Sometimes it's easy

Our vision leaves us blind

Just a few thoughts of negativity

Leave us resigned

Then I watched another traveler

Come upon the scene

He said his name was Faithful

He'd seen him in a dream

He told him

"Let's get out of here now"

And they split the scene

They went on with the dream...

YEAH!
