Lyrics:

Warpaint

In the red
All the cruelty dealt
To one big soul

In the black
All the hiding from
The pain in the dark

Now as I go into battle
I am armed for the fight
With the knowledge of ten men
Strength of nine

As I walk through fire
I am shielded from the flame
Although the guilty parties
Take no blame

Don't try to tell me there's no
Reason for any moment in time
Every memory of mine
Those years are lines of
Color on my face
My past is warpaint
The past is warpaint

Every line
Represent the death of naivete'
In the air
Every eagle drop one feather
Just for me

There is a deafening warcry
And it's ringing in my ears
It is drowning out floods
Of noisy tears

On the path behind me
I leave many gravesite
Every tombstone
Mark one conquered night

So don't try to tell me there's no
Reason for any moment in time
Every memory of mine
Those years are lines of
Color on my face
My past is warpaint
The past is warpaint

Don't try to tell me there's no
Reason for any moment in time
Every memory of mine
No those years are lines of
Color on my face
My past is warpaint
The past is warpaint

Don't try to tell me there's no
Reason for any moment in time
Every memory of mine
Those years, they're lines of
Color on my face
My past is warpaint
The past is warpaint

And I fight to the death
I fight to the death
I fight to the death
I fight

Happy Rhodes is one of my all time favorites. Glad to see people posting her stuff on youtube!

This song holds intense deep meaning for me. It is so much the truth. It's powerful.

I typed in the lyrics from the chorus until something came up. I totally thought it would be a black woman though because of the deep richness of her voice. Incredible!

@JustVidsSam1 Oh my goodness, how cool! How in the world did you find it?

[JustVidsSam1]

Ive been trying to find tthis song forever. back in the 80s when my mom was backpacking in europe a guy she stayed with made this cd for her as a good luck gift. I grew up singing it and i never knew what it was called. Thanks SO MUCH for posting it <3

This is one of the great lesser known albums.

I must have listened to it 100+ times when it first came out.

Thanks for posting it.

[ManicDesign]

Once again, thank you. And thanks for typing the lyrics. So, so great to find this here!
