The Black Hole Lyrics
I will not fade!
I will not fade!
I might be a baby caught in the snow,
But you know...
I will not fade!
I will not fade!
I ripped off my arms
So long ago.
All these wheels:
They seem amazing!
All these bombs
Must be ready to blow.
All this time
I could have tried.
All this time
I did not know.
The letters grow long and weary
And build into a maze.
The dialects laid beneath
Drip from hands yellow-stained.
Inside the envelope a heart of golden sand
Wrapped in snakes, clenched in a fist
Of a mechanical hand.
Give up and go away!!
Into the void.
Be silent and do not speak!!
Into the void.
Be blind and do not gaze!!
Into the void.
Be numb and do not reach!!
Into the void.
And if they want!
And if they want!
And if they want!
...I'll come undone.
I might be amazed like a baby but
I don't have those eyes.
Soaring quails sing of thier glories;
Vultures always lie.
In the deep, the creatures weep,
Begging to be fried.
Any change can be magnificent
If you only try.
Face the stars or thee abyss!
Face the stars or thee abyss!
Face the stars or thee abyss!
Face the stars or thee abyss!
I'll face the stars or thee abyss,
But not nothing at all.
I'll face the stars or thee abyss-
From nothing I can't fall.
All these wheels:
They seem amazing!
All these bombs
Must be ready to blow!
All this time
I could have tried!
All this time
I did not know!
It's so amazing!
It's so-
It's so...
It's so amazing!
It's so amazing!
It's so-
It's so...
It's so amazing!
I will not fade!
I might be a baby caught in the snow,
But you know...
I will not fade!
I ripped off my arms
So long ago.
They seem amazing!
All these bombs
Must be ready to blow.
All this time
I could have tried.
All this time
I did not know.
And build into a maze.
The dialects laid beneath
Drip from hands yellow-stained.
Inside the envelope a heart of golden sand
Wrapped in snakes, clenched in a fist
Of a mechanical hand.
Into the void.
Be silent and do not speak!!
Into the void.
Be blind and do not gaze!!
Into the void.
Be numb and do not reach!!
Into the void.
And if they want!
And if they want!
...I'll come undone.
I don't have those eyes.
Soaring quails sing of thier glories;
Vultures always lie.
In the deep, the creatures weep,
Begging to be fried.
Any change can be magnificent
If you only try.
Face the stars or thee abyss!
Face the stars or thee abyss!
Face the stars or thee abyss!
But not nothing at all.
I'll face the stars or thee abyss-
From nothing I can't fall.
They seem amazing!
All these bombs
Must be ready to blow!
All this time
I could have tried!
All this time
I did not know!
It's so-
It's so...
It's so amazing!
It's so-
It's so...
It's so amazing!

Holy shit, where it kicks in at the "And if they want!!" part: wow! Oh, and the part after that as well. And earlier when... And then later where...... And that other part with the.......
Okay, seriously though, this whole song is fucking killer- just straight up brilliant and beautiful. I can't wait for the album to come out (9/20/05).
this song is def. the killer! every part burns....the greatest thing is that you feel like you´re playing an underwater-level of super mario 3!!!!
this is by far the bestest song ever! ronald is right. the "and if they want" part has the sickest keyboards ever, and it goes right into the grooviest nintendo fandango party ever, but nothing beats the end with the "it was wonderful. it was great" thing. that was so random!
I love how this song ties up the entire album with referances to each song (or maybe almost every song).
I just saw these guys live and they ended the set with this song. oh man, what a perfect ending. i swear i was almost brought to tears! maybe it was cuz i was extremely plastered but still damn.
well, live, i remember him saying "this is about my wife's asshole!"
hahah. this song, though, has to be their best.
Holy shit. This song is so awesome. It's just made of win. 1:28 onwards = win.
My fav part... "I might be amazed like a baby but" ya that line, its so amazing, wise and melodic.
What do the quails and vultures represent? I thought I heard that the refrence to vultures is a refrence to his ex
at like 46 seconds in when the keyboard does the wierd cool thing, it makes me think im playing Super Metroid or something
This has always been my "Most Played" HtB song. It is so much amazing orgasmic fantastic...I can't put it in words, it's just the best damn song..the songs it mentions are, "Sand, The Mechanical Hand, Taken By Vultures", and perhaps,"Manateen"(creatures begging to be killed?). Anyway, I don't really see a meaning to this song, just summing everything up with kick ass everything.
