Tema

Una canción profundamente introspectiva sobre el arrepentimiento personal, la adicción y la autodestrucción. El narrador se siente abandonado por sus 'ángeles' y atormentado por sus errores. El **'Cisne Negro'** es una metáfora de un evento devastador e inesperado o la realización de una pérdida (posiblemente una regrabación de una canción originalmente destinada al álbum *'United Abominations'*, que refleja las luchas pasadas de Mustaine). La **'sombra del cementerio'** simboliza que su destino lo está alcanzando.

Letra

I thought at this hour any pleasure Can never really be a sin in vain One hundred and one shots of opportunity I'd gladly take them all again and again..... and again My angels left me, sorrows are my own And now I'm here with the Devil, on my own Just like a Churchyard Shadow, creeping after me It's only there to terrify my mind, Black Swan keeps haunting me. I promise that my soul not to get paid away Wind always starts of as psychedelic and then it turns to black My head starts swaying, I forgot what it was that I was saying I don't know where I am and I'll never, never make it back. I sealed my fate, and I paid my debt I fell from grace with deep regret My angels left me, sorrows are my own And now I'm here with the devil on my own Just like the Churchyard shadow, creeping after me It's only there to terrify my mind, Black Swan keeps haunting me Just like the Churchyard shadow, there's nothing left to see It's only there to terrify my mind, Black Swan keeps haunting me My angels left me, sorrows are my own And now I'm here with the devil on my own (on my own) Just like the Churchyard shadow, creeping after me It's only there to terrify my mind, Black Swan keeps haunting me Just like the Churchyard shadow, there's nothing left to see It's only there to terrify my mind, Black Swan keeps haunting me Just like the Churchyard shadow, creeping after me There's nothing left to see, there's nothing left of me
