Keith Emerson/Greg Lake/Carl Palmer)



Every day I see a nwe cloud coming

There's one more hole in space

Every time I walk across the street

I feel the gas blowing in my face

We never learn even deserts burn

And all politicians lie

They don't do nothing till we reach high noon

Black moon



Ain't nobody gonna walk on water

When it falls like acid rain

Nobody gonna fake you out

Every poison stains

We're all struck here right in the middle

We never call the tune

If we don't get active we'll become immune

Black moon



In the night see the red sky burning

There's fire on the mountain

Oil slicks on the sea

The black moon is rising

How long will it be



you take a look around the world

The future never waits

We're skating on the thin ice

And we're in the hands of fate

What we need's a little redirection

To find our blue lagoon

You know it wouldn't come a moment too soon

Black moon
