Take the Black Lyrics
The moon is full, you can not see, there's something in the air
Sound asleep, you're in too deep, protecting your own lair
The lion roar into the night, yet another foe to slay
Who are you that I see right through, the hunter or the prey?
Too late to hear the final warning
No one can defy the Reaper...
Voices! Twisted!
Calling out your name...
Voices! Twisted!
Calling for you
Ain't no reason for the rhyme
Take the Black
Ready to attack
Take the Black
Face to face, you bide your time
Take the Black
Ready to attack
Take the Black!
You thought you had it all in there, in your little bag of tricks
Insanity won't set you free as you cross the river Styx
You're out of time, your bridges burn in the undying flame
We'll nail you down to the ground for you to bear the shame
Too late to hear the final warning
No one can defy the Reaper...
Voices! Twisted!
Calling out your name...
Voices! Twisted!
Calling for you
Ain't no reason for the rhyme
Take the Black
Ready to attack
Take the Black
Face to face, you bide your time
Take the Black
Ready to attack

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
This song definately deals with George RR Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series of books. In the series taking the black means you join the Night's Watch to defend the realm from northern invaders. The lion is a symbol for House Lannister. It's "too late to hear the final warning" because everyone in the series is caught up in their own battles and they fail to see the real danger, which would be The Others.
