Píseň: Painting My Horror

Interpret:
Arcturus
Album:
La Masquerade Infernale
It was a dark night, I couldn`t see;
And senses were unbound in ESP


When in dream awake,
I`d paint,
Subconcious, the expanse I saw


The portal to the minds eye, open!
- I contemplated
Who it was that pulled the strings


O those things I saw in dreadful masquerade
Of stark madness went merry round with my head


I passed out, embraced their world
Savoured 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 perform with the gestures of a clown


Pure I live in blasphemy
Mephisto I am hidden in Madonnas gown
From the code of common sense I`m free
To(o) bad you`re not here to partake my strange horror


`Cause here is where or weys will part
I will not exchange their power,
spring of my suffering
I do not envy the conscience pure
of the blind man in his bliss world
I would not be devoid the fruit of guile
