Portrait of Faith (live 1986) Lyrics


Fire burns the fields beneath our feet

The first was our last mistake

Don't give in, save your prayers

Because the rose has the power

Enhanced by the thorns it bares

(Pre-Chorus)

The winds have changed

The storm has passed

(Chorus)

Paint the shadows black

Paint a portrait of faith

To wash the colors away

Run for shelter. The walls are closing in

Expect no sympathy, its over before it begins

No time to waste and no time to cry

Blind faith of a dreamer leaves you questioning why

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

The world is filled with fear,

To make innocence quiver

They may seem sincere, but there drifting like a river

What happened to good beats evil?

Do you find yourself ruled by ego?

See their faces, green with envy

Their trading places, haunted with jelousy

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)
