Burning tree, blackened sky — this land God forsaken
A thousand men prepare to die — their spirit
Long been broken
In misery, hear their cry — mouths hang wide open
Flashing steel, hot lead — the white man has spoken
Painted smiling face
Pockets filled, lust fulfilled — the butchered
Know no mercy
Painted smiling face
Blind eyes, closed hearts — they do not remember
Brutal past from the start — no justice now forever
Humankind is but a part yet they find no answer
Harmony is the art these men refuse to master
Painted smiling face
It’s clear, the end is near — this path leads to nowhere
Painted smiling face
Yeah, I see you
See right through you
And I hear you
But your words will never ring true
My mind is clearer now
At last I can see all too well
Deceiving shades are wearing thin
Humankind prefers living in hell
Painted smiling face
