Cry for help

Once I got caught in an avalanche, I must have died
When the black swan flew to the rescue and cried
An offer I could not refuse, now I'm working on the other side
Well I flew with the bird then, and we flew all night
And I got to see my prison from a thousand feet high
Buy me a drink, and I'll tell you about the black swan

Must keep those black wings folded until the time is right
To find the one who I can steal the 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

The date is set, we all must face it
Door to door seeking salvation
I must fall, die, I wished not
I hope to stay afloat when you give into the
Silver lining, sharp and so cold
Anger fades into a fake smile
You see I'm ready to do it for everyone
I stabbed you in the back, who will save you now?

Don't worry, I've done this before
It'll hurt like hell and leave you sore
Now use this cave and hold on to your ticket of gold and close your eyes
One day I know you'll sell your soul
And trade all you are for silver and gold
You'll get some odd advice from a stranger, take it from me with (love)

Once I was in love with someone like you've witnessed [to be],

hold the [doorknob/door now] your memory's covered in snow.

I need to find a way to pass on the gift I once received
I am ready to face it, I'll take my chances
If I am withering through the evening dark
Snow [snow], grey, so be it
I should not rest now [now], but forever I'll feed the ferryman's greed
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 your soul, deep frozen flower
Black nailed finger of the creator

Must keep those black wings folded until the time is right
To find the one who I can steal the 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
