SOTD: Soundgarden – Black Hole Sun

Il video è inquietantissimo, ma la voce di Chris Cornell rimane a mio avviso una delle migliori nel panorama rock.

In my eyes, in disposed,
In disguise:as no one knows
Hides the face Lies
The snake, the sun
In my disgrace
Boiling heat, Summer stench
‘Neath the black
The sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And I’ll hear you
Scream again

Black hole sun
Won’t you come
And wash away the rain

Black hole sun

Won’t you come
Won’t you come

Stuttering
Cold and damp
Steal the warm wind
Tired friend
Times are gone
For honest men

And sometimes
Far too long
For snakes
In my shoes
A-walking sleep
And my youth
I pray to keep
Heaven send, Hell away
No one sings
Like you anymore

Black hole sun
Won’t you come
And wash away the rain

Black hole sun
Won’t you come
Won’t you come

Black hole sun
Won’t you come
And wash away the rain

Black hole sun
Won’t you come
Won’t you come

Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just
Disappear

Black hole sun
Won’t you come
And wash away the rain

Black hole sun
Won’t you come
Won’t you come
