"Painting My Horror" lyrics
It was a dark night
I couldn't see
And senses were bound in ESP
Could it really be?
When in dream awake
I'd paint subconscious
The expanse I see
The portal to the minds eye open
I contemplated
Who it was that pulled the strings
Oh, those things I saw in dreadful masquerade
Of stark madness
Went merry round with my head
Were they dead?
I passed out, embraced their world
Savored the poetry of revolt
Sheer elegy of menace
I have not been the same since
I took on the profession of a devil
The world I see in grotesque light
Evil I perform with the gestures of a clown
Pure I live in blasphemy
Mephisto I am, hidden in Madonna's gown
From the code of common sense I'm free
Too bad you're not here to partake in my strange horror
Because here is where our ways will part
I will not exchange this power
Spring of my suffering
I do not envy the conscience pure
Of the blind man in his blissful world
I would not be devoid of the fruit of guile
I couldn't see
And senses were bound in ESP
Could it really be?
When in dream awake
I'd paint subconscious
The expanse I see
The portal to the minds eye open
I contemplated
Who it was that pulled the strings
Oh, those things I saw in dreadful masquerade
Of stark madness
Went merry round with my head
Were they dead?
I passed out, embraced their world
Savored the poetry of revolt
Sheer elegy of menace
I have not been the same since
I took on the profession of a devil
The world I see in grotesque light
Evil I perform with the gestures of a clown
Pure I live in blasphemy
Mephisto I am, hidden in Madonna's gown
From the code of common sense I'm free
Too bad you're not here to partake in my strange horror
Because here is where our ways will part
I will not exchange this power
Spring of my suffering
I do not envy the conscience pure
Of the blind man in his blissful world
I would not be devoid of the fruit of guile
