Blue light brings dreams dreams forgotten
Soft red on canvas lost and
Sometimes reminds me of your eyes
I came to paint, it’s true, and make it here with you
A dream on a leash in times gone by

With blind delight we came, unknown to hell’s wild rage
Pilgrims to the slaughterhouse
And all my soft, bright youth has burned away in truth
We hold the line, we hold our ground

Angel of Mercy, well, you’ve nothing for me
You buried me with all my dreams

Walk with me in my mеmory
You’re all I recall of that life
Thе boy I knew well, he left with you
You’re my last candle in the night

After you left, I’d wait, I’d fight and grind and paint, it’s
The last sweet solace I would know
But nine years back, they got me, my right arm’s gone, a memory
And dust upon my paints just grows

Angel of Mercy, well you’ve nothing for me
You buried me with all my dreams
