"'''Coma Black'''" is the fifteenth track on the 2000 release ''[[Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)]]''. It is comprised of two parts: "Eden Eye" and "Apple of Discord", the former being the majority of the song. The song serves as a prequel to "[[Coma White]]" from the ''[[Mechanical Animals]]'' album.

the "eden eye"reference seems to check William Blake's theories on vision, perception, observation, the structure of heaven and the eye (see diagram in the sleeve notes between Twiggy and the Tarot card of the Hierophant). Sounds almost as though it was meant for Mechanical Animals - maybe it's intended to hark forward to that one - with its sad, elegiac tone and references to the loss of heaven and the failure of love, plus this album's first visit from Coma White.

This song part serves as the outro for performances of "Coma White" during ''[[Rape of the World]]'', ''[[The High End of Low Tour]]'' and the ''[[Hey, Cruel World... (tour)]]'', dating back to the return of [[Twiggy]] in early 2008 during ''Rape of the World'' tour.
