Black As Her Heart
Verse 1
Years of drought
Crops turned to dirt
The parched soil
As dry as his thirst
Years of abuse
And constant hate
Her hidden bruising
Dark as the liquor he drank
Three small crosses
Where her children fell
Her tortured soul
Empty and the farms wells
Dreams in bed
Her only repair
Forlorn hopes
Distant as the furthest star
Chorus
God………………….he is not at home
Poor souls………… barren and lone
Verse 2
Staggering in one night
A storm brewed outside
Smell of cheap perform
No effort to hide
The kitchen knife
Tight in her hand
Her burning rage
As wild as the land
Pleading for mercy
Face filled with false love
The knifes blade
Sharp as the cracks above
Stabbing in a frenzy
Sick of his lies
Blood that flows
As red as her eyes
​
Chorus
God………………….he is not at home
Poor souls………… barren and lone
Verse 3
He laid no movement
No need to cry
His lifeless body
As grey as the sky
Stepping outside
Cool rain to start
Her stare
As black as her heart
Chorus
God………………….he is not at home
Poor souls………… barren and lone
God………………….he is not at home
Poor souls………… barren and lone
