Blackened Waters Lyrics
And here I stand
I find myself alone again
The miles I've walked
The loss of hope
And loss of friends
Yet I keep on running
And I won't look back
The waters rise
You never know just where they're at
The waters turn
The hardships we endure
You aint the only son or forgotten daughter
We all drown in blackened waters
The sun has set
The endless stream where nothing lasts
Forever damned
Today, tomorrow and all the past
I find myself alone again
The miles I've walked
The loss of hope
And loss of friends
And I won't look back
The waters rise
You never know just where they're at
The hardships we endure
You aint the only son or forgotten daughter
We all drown in blackened waters
The endless stream where nothing lasts
Forever damned
Today, tomorrow and all the past

I'm the first? This is an amazing song! Fucking rocks! As far as I can figure, it's quite simply about all the bullshit life throws at you, and sucking it up and taking it all.
This song is completely bomb ass. I constantly find myself listening to this song over and over and over. I agree this song is about all this shit that comes with living on this fucking planet.
Really great song... The solo kicks major ass...
I love this song. The greatest black label society song in my opinion. Excellent solo.
I Agree Zakk Does A Great Solo As Great As The Song Berserkers
I think he got the idea from the black water that collects in a rain filled ashtray. Its so discusting to see whats going into your body but u keep smoking anyways. Therefore its almost like your drowning in the "blackened water"
You start out with family supporting you and then some of them get caught up in the blackened waters. They change, lose their way or support, become damned, or die. You continue on with a strong desire to move foreward. You keep on going with a bit of a guard not sure who the people you can trust are. People will come and go and people will try to fuck you over along the way, even your family- forgotten son or daughter. Eventually the filth of the earth will drown us all. I do think this song has a huge feeling that parents give up on their kids and don't support them. That relationship is tainted/blackened forever. Very powerful song even without lyrics
I think this song speaks to alcoholism. " i find myself alone again... the loss of hope and the loss of friends" happens to alot of us. Feeling like a forgotton son or daughter because everyone turns their backs on you. The crazy shit we are forced to endure. It all started out as fun and good times and at some point it turns on you, becomes nothing but hardship and battles to get more, just to stop the shakes. Being an addict in recovery... kinda just sounds like it to me. Its fitting from heroin to alcohol. But kniwing zakk is an alcoholic. Id assume Its more based in that.
