Painted Red

from True Will (2018) by Blake Starkey

/

lyrics

Violence is rife
We don’t know what to feel
We’re held captive to fear
By the newsreel
When your God is dead
And there’s blood on your hands
And you’ve buried your head
All too deep in the sand

These cities streets are painted red
And like a virus
It’ll spread
These cities streets are painted red
Wearing the faces of the dead
I know, I know, I know
It’s too harrowing
I know, I know, it’s true
I know, I know, I know
It’s too frightening
I know, I know, it’s you

They come like a gun
Blazing into the night
Oh say can you see
By the dawn’s early light
They keep spilling blood
And it’s just for the thrill
Getting their kicks
From the people they kill

These cities streets are painted red
And like a virus
It’ll spread
These cities streets are painted red
Wearing the faces of the dead
I know, I know, I know
It’s too harrowing
I know, I know, it’s true
I know, I know, I know
It’s too frightening
I know, I know, it’s you

Your tactics are old
And soon you will feel
The burning of skin
This inferno is real
The world is in flames
Revolutions reveal
A deafening noise
Like a baby pig’s squeal
