Lyrics

Painted In Blood

It started with a missing girl A trail of blood that belonged to her
A fractured skull meant a murder foul
It was Ed they went to see He fell under scrutiny
A lost house tucked away in silence
They reached Edwards home A foreign sight that was unknown
A closer look recoiled them in horror

(Painted in blood) I was painted
(Painted in blood) I was painted in blood
(Painted in blood) Painted in blood

It seemed Ed passed the time He made a suit of the hides
That he stole from the dear departed
The lamps had dermal layers The legs of chairs had legs like theirs
A death mask lit the wall in silence
He prized a human vest He'd ripped and torn from someone's chest
He wore it when he danced with the dead

(Painted in blood) I was painted
(Painted in blood) I was painted in blood
(Painted in blood) Painted in blood


They didn't take time to mourn The loved ones that he'd stripped and shore
Scorched earth lit behind their torches
Ed went quietly Dragged out from among the trees
He left behind twisted tales of torture Now Ed lives far from home
In a padded cell when he was thrown Locked away never to be seen

(Painted in blood) I was painted
(Painted in blood) I was painted in blood
(Painted in blood) Painted in blood


(Painted in blood) I was painted
(Painted in blood) I was painted in blood
(Painted in blood) I will see you painted in blood
