There was a man, born beneath a black sun,
there was a man, 'til kingdom come.
There was a man with a hole in his heart,
there was a man, well, he walked with the dark.
Oh and that black sun, it hung up in the sky,
and there was a man, you know, he said he never cried,
he said he never, he never cried.
There was a woman, said she knew that man,
there was a woman, and she said she loved that man.
She went down into winter, down to find that man,
there was a woman and there was a man,
there was a woman and there was a man.
She went down and found that man, down in his cave of ice,
she said unto that man you know you got to do what's right.
Well, that man he turned away, he pulled the clouds across his face,
he said unto that woman you know I never found I never found no grace,
I never found, I never found no grace.
Well, you know that woman, she got up and left that place,
well, you know that woman she took just one look at his face,
and that black sun, it hung up there in the sky,
and there was a man, he said he never, he never cried,
he said he never, he never cried.
You can't just sit down and write songs like these. You have to wrestle with the angel first. Tyrella has done that- the proof is the songs on Albedo. He is a master songwriter. Rodney DeCroo
