Painting In The Dark Songtext / Lyric

[Jennings / Dorrian]



City streets are filled with crime, politician's laugh and dine

Pubic stare of murdered eyes, living statues, souls have died

Concrete cancer setting in, another war about to begin

In freedom's coffin life rotting, release me from this social din



Mythic places only I can see



Painting pictures in the dark of a place less stark






Spiral staircase in my mind after midnight sense climb

Building castles in the sky, gateways to another life

Stallions of destiny take me to celestial seas

Aphrodite waits for me, we swim into eternity



Epic places only I can see



Painting pictures in the dark of a place less stark



Wealth of minds in poverty, dying world, what's left for me?

Outcast of reality, close my eyes so I can be



In mythic places only I can see

No murdered faces of reality



Painting pictures in the dark of a place less stark
