Magnum - Dance Of The Black Tattoo

Now every day the quiet dead Will follow in your footsteps They fill your dreams with awful dread And walk in silence through No holy names will comfort thee Or justify your feelings I'm only glad it's you, not me Will dance the black tattoo Your diary's empty So there's no past You can't remember What you did last Your diary's empty No words to read No misconception It can't mislead You take a chance and play the game With deeds of blood and murder Whatever comes, it's all the same You know it's up to you You live your life on borrowed time It's playing tricks to fool you Well, it's not like a nursery rhyme With all good things and true Your diary's empty The pages white So nothing happened For you to write Your diary's empty Too late, you cried No concentration The thought has died Your diary's empty So there's no past You can't remember What you did last Your diary's empty No words to read No misconception It can't mislead Your diary's empty The pages white So nothing happened For you to write Your diary's empty Too late, you cried No concentration The thought has died
