== Lyrics ==
 BLACK!
 BLACK!
 The black behind The black behind
 The black behind The black behind.
 I never look behind me, I feel it in the air
 I never look behind me, endlessly I'm scared
 Everything is black, everything is black, everything is black
 If you look behind.
 I know it's waiting for me, I sense it everywhere
 I know it's waiting for me, pretending not to care
 Everything is black, everything is black, everything is black
 If you look behind.
 The black behind The black behind
 The black behind.
 There is nothing, there is nothing but
 The black behind, the black behind, the black is behind everything
 Sneaking, creeping, hiding in the shadows and waiting
 Waiting for the naive, waiting for the unaware
 Waiting for the careless and those that aren't scared
 To be sucked in, sucked in to the black behind.
 The black behind, the black behind, the black behind
 The black behind The black behind.
 I never look behind me, I feel it in the air
 I never look behind me, endlessly I'm scared
 Everything is black, everything is black, everything is black
 If you look behind.
