A Painting of Winter's Darkness Lyrics


Futile strikes, each for the rights

Proving a point for what we all fear

Deliver a gift, through air it shifts

Defeating the purpose and what we all hear

Ripping away, washing decay

Determines the future and what's to be done

Paving the path for a fragrant bloodbath

Smelling the death in what we've begun

Forming the hatred in shades of melting flesh

Destined for torture are those who could survive

Scanning the ruins, watching for signs of life

Befriend the reaper, for he is on your side

Casting them down on to the ground

Meeting the town. Bodies around

Destroying lives

Tearing the mothers from their child’s arms

Nothing to last. Take a look around

What you enjoy most - gone forever

Holy man - question my religion

Kill my people for not wanting your God

Millions are dying while praying to live

So why should we look to the lies?

Bending our souls. Conform to your beliefs

They'll shoot you down then burn your home

If you do not see the light

Rules to protect the weak, to destroy the strong

And condemn all those that think

Why must we bow down throughout these times

When your light turns to darkness

Fire. Escaping the hand of god

Pages of unspoken guides

Lies, lies, lies. Die inside

Live our lives in fear of the ones we trust

And we wash away in our sea of doubt

Stop spreading faith while I start to sketch

A PAINTING OF WINTER'S DARKNESS

Banish thee - Worthless preacher

Blocking you out. Out of our minds

In to the grave. Deeper with time

Draw the line For you and your kind

Say what you bring to us

Things we cannot trust

You defend all you cannot see

Then you condemn all we want to believe

Book of fiction. Your contradiction

Premonition. False religion

Stealing hopes and visions from the youthful

Descend down the staircase to our fate

Winding path. Troubled past

Friends of Jesus Christ

Savior of all your minds

Hypnotized. Dictate lives

Paint has now been dried

As the stained blood of all who’s died

In your wars of hate

Hang this painting high

As we wait to see the end of life

On Earth as we know it

Drill in to your brain

Hopes gone down the drain

Pointing all the blame

It will never be the same...
