Free from the start -
Left to depart -
Finding the pleasure and the pain in his art
Lost in the hush -
No need to rush -
Time waits for him, him who creates with the brush
Colour the brush
High in the air -
His dreams are there -
Searching for answers he will look everywhere
Thinks he has won -
A place in the sun
Free from the worries and the ways of everyone
Colour the brush
Peel the paint
Look underneath
You'll see the same, the same old savage beast
Strip the coats
The coats of time
And find mad eyes and see those sharpened teeth
Nothing's been learned -
No nothing at all
Don't be fooled, get up before you fall
Carnal grave
Crawling smooth
Open flesh and you must let him in
Glass reflects
What you are
It shows the face, the evil face of sin
Nothing's been learned -
No nothing at all
Don't be fooled, get up before you fall
Nothing's been learned -
No nothing at all
Don't be fooled, get up before you fall
