Warpaint


Warpaint

In the red
All the cruelty dealt
To one big soul

In the black
All the hiding from
The pain in the dark

Now as I go into battle
I am armed for the fight
With the knowledge of ten men
Strength of nine

As I walk through fire
I am shielded from the flame
Although the guilty parties
Take no blame

Don't try to tell me there's no
Reason for any moment in time
Every memory of mine
Those years are lines of
Color on my face
My past is warpaint
The past is warpaint

Every line
Represent the death of naivete'
In the air
Every eagle drop one feather
Just for me

There is a deafening warcry
And it's ringing in my ears
It is drowning out floods
Of noisy tears

On the path behind me
I leave many gravesite
Every tombstone
Mark one conquered night

So don't try to tell me there's no
Reason for any moment in time
Every memory of mine
Those years are lines of
Color on my face
My past is warpaint
The past is warpaint

Don't try to tell me there's no
Reason for any moment in time
Every memory of mine
No those years are lines of
Color on my face
My past is warpaint
The past is warpaint

Don't try to tell me there's no
Reason for any moment in time
Every memory of mine
Those years, they're lines of
Color on my face
My past is warpaint
The past is warpaint

And I fight to the death
I fight to the death
I fight to the death
I fight
