Arcturus – Painting My Horror lyrics
It was a dark night, I couldn't see;
And senses were unbound in ESP
When in dream awake,
I'd paint,
Subconscious, 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
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 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
Too bad you're not here to partake my strange horror
Cause here is where or ways 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
And senses were unbound in ESP
When in dream awake,
I'd paint,
Subconscious, 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
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 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
Too bad you're not here to partake my strange horror
Cause here is where or ways 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
