Black Madonna Video (MV)

In a forest full of angels
As the night is closing in
Down a path that leads in circles
To the place where you begin
Chasing shadows on the beaches
Neath the burning mid-day sun
Counting waves upon the ocean
But they all add up to one
Silent as the whisper
Of a moonless starlit sky
When I ask the question why she cries
Black Madonna only smiles

There's a turnstile at a station
For a train that used to fly
Down the twisted rails of fortune
Racing providence and time
Beneath a broken carriage
Nests a single pure white dove
Like a gentle rising Phoenix
From the raging storm of love
Fragile in her innocence
With the wisdom of a child
When I ask her what she feels inside
Black Madonna only smiles

Through a gate into a courtyard
Where tangled roses bloom
Past a torn and dusty curtain
Hides a lonely darkened room
Where the ghosts of heartless lovers
Fade in scattered photographs
Long forgotten treasures
Hidden memories of the past
Like a cave inside a jungle
Where the sun refused to shine
When I ask the question why she hides
Black Madonna only smiles

There's a turnstile at a station
For a train that used to fly
Down the twisted rails of fortune
Racing providence and time
Beneath a broken carriage
Nests a single pure white dove
Like a gentle rising Phoenix
From the raging storm of love
Fragile in her innocence
With the wisdom of a child
When I ask her what she feels inside
Black Madonna only smiles
