Where do all the played songs go?
Lost in the stacks
Folding chairs
Chalk dust erasers
Wish I could see you through
Bible Black
Where do all the said prayers go?
There once was a spark
Smothered is sack cloth
Drowned in sacrament
Wish I could see that light
Instead of
Bible Black
Where do all the old secrets go?
Leather covers crack
Left on walls while
We played in parking lots
Blacktop laughter
Weeds that refuse to die
Refuse to be lost in
Bible Black
Lost in the stacks
Folding chairs
Chalk dust erasers
Wish I could see you through
Bible Black
Where do all the said prayers go?
There once was a spark
Smothered is sack cloth
Drowned in sacrament
Wish I could see that light
Instead of
Bible Black
Where do all the old secrets go?
Leather covers crack
Left on walls while
We played in parking lots
Blacktop laughter
Weeds that refuse to die
Refuse to be lost in
Bible Black

It wasn't until after I wrote this that Google informed me that Bible Black is a sleezy anime/video game, a bad heavy metal song, and a band from the 80s. I didn't know.
