Lyrics to Night on Earth

You're peeling the paint from your canvasThe face that you made with your brushYou kill your creation in angerCruelty that once was your crushThe painting is peeled and your darling deadThe secret of love turns its hideous headWritten in scars - cuts wide and deepWritten in stars - dark light in your sleepLost count of the wars - you lost count of the scoreReturned to the trenches each time to fight moreThought you escaped your nightmare - your curseTo find you were waking from one to a worseWritten in scars - your cuts wide and deepWritten in stars - dark light in your sleepIt's written in scars now - your cuts wide and deepIt's written in stars now - dark light in your sleepIn memory of her brittle heartAmused - abused - accursedYour aquarelle - your living hellIs right here on earthErase - every traceOf peelings and painFind your peaceWhen your lips stop saying her nameIt's written in scars now - your cuts wide and deepIt's written in stars now - dark light in your sleepIn memory of her brittle heartAmused - abused - accursedYou live to tell - you're leaving hellIt's night here on earth
