Painted in Blood

Verse 1

Crimson ceiling spills above the pines

Staining every hollow hill and hollow heart

Bloodied clouds are choking out the day

Evil isn't hidden it is painted in the air

Watching the burning horizon turn to rust

Cruelty feels as constant as the coming frost

The light has finally begun to bleed

Pre-Chorus

No shade remains

No shelter stays

Just the red glare

Above the silent fields

Chorus

Stare into the fire that never cools

Burn away the hope that makes us fools

The sky is telling what we really are

Tearing open every single closing scar

Watching the heavy heavens descend

Knowing there is nothing left to mend

The world is wearing its true face

Verse 2

Screaming color where the peace belonged

Justice died a thousand times and stayed dead

Look at the canvas made of every lie

Weight of our sins is breaking through the rafters

Vultures circling the fading light

Searching for the pieces we threw out

Hatred grows beneath this copper dome

Pre-Chorus

No shade remains

No shelter stays

Just the red glare

Above the silent fields

Chorus

Stare into the fire that never cools

Burn away the hope that makes us fools

The sky is telling what we really are

Tearing open every single closing scar

Watching the heavy heavens descend

Knowing there is nothing left to mend

The world is wearing its true face

Bridge

Under the veil

Caught in the tide

Buried in shame

I see it clearly now

We let the shadow take the wheel

Chorus

Stare into the fire that never cools

Burn away the hope that makes us fools

The sky is telling what we really are

Tearing open every single closing scar

Watching the heavy heavens descend

Knowing there is nothing left to mend

The world is wearing its true face
