Painting in the Dark - Cathedral

Painting in the Dark - Cathedral
City streets are filled with crime
Politicians laugh and dine
Public stare of murdered eyes
Living statues souls have died
Concrete cancer setting in
Another war about to begin
In freedom's coffin life rotting
Release me from this social din
Mythic places only I can see
Painting pictures in the dark
Of a place less stark
Spiral staircase in my mind
After midnight senses climb
Building castles in the sky
Gateways to another life
Stallions of destiny take me to celestial seas
Aphrodite waits for me
We swim into eternity
Epic places only I can see
Painting pictures in the dark
Of a place less stark
Wealth of minds in poverty
Dying world what's left for me
Outcast of reality
Close my eyes so I can be
In mythic places only I can see
No murdered faces of reality
Painting pictures in the dark
Of a place less stark
