Painted Death Lyrics by Contortion

Painted Death

2017

From the birth of perpetual sorrow, lucid is our art
Pitch black the night laced with stars
Surreal, this infection, as it progresses forth
Though pain I accept as it’s Lucifer’s warmth

Trapped inside a mirror in the field of reveries
This dream world pieced together by the womb of misery

Within this quill, at night and day
I stain my sinful mind away
Bleeding ink and eyes so weary
My dream world is my cemetery

Breathe in, smell the cursed canvas
Lose yourself in the deadly hymn
Feel the poems of the wrecked
Burn the tales of Nazareth
Feed off the artwork of painted death

The stories of a place above lay waste
Voices in your head will take you to a darker place
Here, your heartstrings sing
Sadness spreads its wings
The fire in your lungs engulfs the world

Painted death

Blood is running thinner
You’re the failure, the sinner
Although my sickness spreads I know I’ll never ever cleanse my body for it is the temple I use to create these paintings, for they are the remnants of my hate

Breathe in, smell the cursed canvas
Lose yourself in the deadly hymn
Feel the poems of the wrecked
Burn the tales of Nazareth
Feed off the artwork of painted death

Drown yourself in the cold gloom
Close your eyes to clearly see
Weave the night sky with the full moon
Painted death poisons me
Breathe in, smell the cursed canvas
Lose yourself in the deadly hymn
Feel the poems of the wrecked
Burn the tales of Nazareth
Feed off the artwork of painted death
