Painting My Horror Lyrics - Singles - Arcturus

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 minds eye, open! 

- I contemplated 

Who it was that pulled the strings 

Of 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 a 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 bad you are not here to partake my strange horror 

'Cause here is where our ways will part 

I will not exchange this 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
