Black Garden Lyrics - Manic Street Preachers

Glory glory, hallelujah 

Our truth comes marching on 

Swing, swing 

There's a little part of me 

There's a little part of you 

Remember the feeling 

Of a frozen embryo 

There's a bigger part of me 

There's a bigger part of you 

Remember the place where 

You don't want to go 

Welcome into your own black garden 

It's full of life but it's still too frightening 

Can't open my eyes this whiteness blinds 

All this whiteness blinds 

Watch the swallows cloud the sky 

Watch the swallows slowly die 

I used to throw stones 

But now I have none 

Watch the swallows cloud the sky 

Watch the swallows slowly die 

I used to throw stones 

But now I have none 

Waiting to be bread in the black garden 

Waiting to be muted and then chosen 

White trash you're a swinger 

Ugly to the end 

Ugly to the end 

Swing, swing 

(Excerpt taken from the song 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic')
