Cry for help [Verse 1] Once I got caught in an avalanche I must have died When a Black Swan flew to the rescue and cried An offer I could not refuse, now Im working on the other side Well, I flew with the bird then, we flew all night I got to see my prison from a thousand feet high Buy me a drink, and I tell you bout the Black Swan [Chorus] Must keep those black wings folded, until the time is right, to find the one whom I can steal A soul from, to buy more time Must keep my secrets untold, until the wrongs are right, the only one I could deceive I buy my time, need you to fly on the Black Swan [Verse 2] The date is set, we all must face it Door to door, seeking salvation I must, for die I wish not My hopes stay afloat when you give in to the Silver lining, sharp and so cold Anger fades into a vague smile You see, Im ready to do it for everyone I stabbed you in the back, who will save you now Dont worry, Ive done this before Itll hurt like hell and leave you sore No use escaping, hold on to your ticket of gold And close your eyes One day I know you will sell your soul And trade all you are for silver and gold Youll get an odd advice from a stranger Take it, from me, with love [Bridge] Once I was in love with someone like you, Engaged to be whole Got torn out of your memories, covered in snow I need to find a way to pass on the gift I once received Im ready to face it Ill take my chances, if I am Returning to the deep Dark snow grave, so be it I should not rest now, but forever! Ill feed the ferrymans creed With an empty promise for my lost soul Must keep those black wings folded, until the darkest night I steal a soul from you to buy me some time Pouring boiling water on a solid frozen flower Black nailed finger of the creator I take a bow, thank for this opportunity But Ive given the last ride for all those close to kin [Chorus] Must keep those black wings folded, until the time is right, to find the one whom I can steal A soul from, to buy more time Must keep my secrets untold, until the wrongs are right, the only one I could deceive I served my time, need you to fly with the Black Swan
