Night on Earth

You're peeling the paint from your canvas

The face that you made with your brush

You kill your creation in anger

Cruelty that once was your crush

The painting is peeled and your darling dead

The secret of love turns its hideous head

Written in scars - cuts wide and deep

Written in stars - dark light in your sleep

Lost count of the wars - you lost count of the score

Returned to the trenches each time to fight more

Thought you escaped your nightmare - your curse

To find you were waking from one to a worse

Written in scars - your cuts wide and deep

Written in stars - dark light in your sleep

It's written in scars now - your cuts wide and deep

It's written in stars now - dark light in your sleep

In memory of her brittle heart

Amused - abused - accursed

Your aquarelle - your living hell

Is right here on earth

Erase - every trace

Of peelings and pain

Find your peace

When your lips stop saying her name

It's written in scars now - your cuts wide and deep

It's written in stars now - dark light in your sleep

In memory of her brittle heart

Amused - abused - accursed

You live to tell - you're leaving hell

It's night here on earth
