Cathedral - Painting in the Dark lyrics

City streets are filled with crime, politician's laugh and dine Pubic stare of murdered eyes, living statues, souls have died Concrete cancer setting in, another war about to begin In freedom's coffin life rotting, release me from this social din Mythic places only I can see Painting pictures in the dark of a place less stark Spiral staircase in my mind after midnight sense climb Building castles in the sky, gateways to another life Stallions of destiny take me to celestial seas Aphrodite waits for me, we swim into eternity Epic places only I can see Painting pictures in the dark of a place less stark Wealth of minds in poverty, dying world, what's left for me? Outcast of reality, close my eyes so I can be In mythic places only I can see No murdered faces of reality Painting pictures in the dark of a place less stark
