I was on fire
Red in the night
Burning desire
A vulcanite

I rocketed off
Out into space
Couldn't be caught
A state of grace

Found myself staring at the end of the world
At the black hole shining like the mother of pearl
Crossed event horizon and there's no turning back
Now everything is fading, fading to black

Infinite time
Fading to black
Stratocaster whine
Fading to black

The soul of white light
Fading to black
The wrong and the right
Fading to black

Our schemes and our dreams
Fading to black
A love supreme
Fading to black
Happiness and hope
Fading to black
The end of the rope
Fading to black

All our history
Fading to black
Sexual mystery
Fading to black

The end of the day
Fading to black
God walking away
Fading to black

Until our last breath
Fading to black
Welcoming death
Fading to black

Fading to black
Fading to black
Fading to black
Black black black
