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 blood of all who’s died

In your wars of hatred



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...
