I know you better than you know yourself

Ain't nothing sacred in this hostile place

You're not gonna be afraid Now it's a little late
[Chorus]
Am G Dm
Black gold is the colour, the dawn never comes
C G Am
And we don't answer when you're wrong (Black gold like no other)
G Dm C G Am
Did we ever belong? Just take them on and then we're gone (Black gold is the colour)
G Dm C G
The dawn never comes, and we don't answer...
[Verse 2]
Dm F
Put your hand up if you're running scared

Choke my engine, it cannot be repaired

Our superheroes, well, where are they now?

Put your foot down till the petrol runs out
