This is the title track of my new album. The album was named by a young man named Alex who posted on my Facebook page "Voltaire's music is the audio equivalent of riding a black unicorn down the side of an erupting volcano while drinking from a chalice filled with the laughter of small children." When I read that I knew I had to name the new album that! AND I knew I had to write a song called that as well. And here it is!

LYRICS:

A darkness falls over the land

Enslaves with a wave of its hand

And I try to see the light through the disease

I try to get up on my feet

Been so long shackled down on my knees

For somewhere deep inside, I know

That fate favors the bold

So tonight, I'm riding a black unicorn

Down the side of an erupting volcano

And I drink, drink, drink

From a chalice filled

With the laughter of small children

When darkness is drowning your soul

And makes you feel alone in the cold

Find me, and grab a hold

This chalice, it overflows

So tonight, you're riding a black unicorn

Down the side of an erupting volcano

And you drink, drink, drink

From a chalice filled

With the laughter of small children

Lords of strength and gods of might

Hand over the reigns

Bless our path that tonight

We find the will to break these chains

And ride!

So tonight, we're riding our black unicorns

Down the side of an erupting volcano

And we drink, drink, drink

From a chalice filled

With the laughter of small children

And the blood and tears of our enemies

This one goes out to +Bruce Shark​, inspired by the majesty he captured in a portrait he did... which reminded me of a song about the most majestic thing I could think of.

Some say that one day, Voltaire will ride this same unicorn, surfing on a infinite wave of beer to bring the world an era of peace and barbecue. By the power of his voice he will shatter the earth and sky to bring back his grandmother, and that time, she will be proud of him.

Bronies be like. "This is my jam." When I hear the song. ".....Crap I love this song, but I'm not a bronie... eh, screw it, I love the song and it sounds epic I'm still never gonna be a bronie."(No offense to bronies)

The fact that many here might play AdventureQuest Worlds makes it more funny to tell my little theory: That black unicorn Voltaire are riding might be Binky...

The song is a metaphor; once you go black, you never go back.You can also never unhear it now.
