Arena - Angel Falls & Painted Man

From DVD Caught in The Act. Tracks 02 & 03.

Lyrics
(An Angel Falls)
An Angel falls, so fragile and exposed
Soon lies crushed and wasted
Too delicate to hold
A soulful melody innocent and pure
Rises to the sky and is lost for ever more
As guilt rains down and scars the faith of man
It flows into the ground
We will never wipe the bloodstains from our hands

A failing heart, vulnerable and weak
Waiting for the moment to beat the final beat
Surely there is someone who'll reach out
Surely there is someone who'll reach out

---------
(Painted Man)
I am the painted man
With a frown on my face
And a language you don't understand
A wild refugee
That is all you people can see
I am the painted man
With a smile on my lips
And a living tattoo on my hand
That's no guarantee
Of the truth you people can see
Why - With poison so strong in our hearts
And the world torn apart
Why - when our actions bring nothing but pain
Can't you see that we're painted the same?

I am the painted man
With bile in my veins
From a dark and sinister plan
Blind and deceived
That is all you people believe
I am the painted man
No thought for the world
I was here when the nightmare began
Wrongly conceived
That is all you people believe

Why - With poison so strong in our hearts
And the world torn apart
Why - when our actions bring nothing but pain
Can't you see that we're painted the same?

Come down from your ivory towers
Corruption devours us all
Come down from your ivory towers
The hunger devours us all

Arena is THE ULTIMATE PROG-THEATRICAL MUSIC OF THIS TIME

Perfection. Pure Gold!

[darley1958]

Love this song and its good to know there are still bands that can do this in an age of mediocrity and corporate inspired 'musical' blandness.

[richie1957aus]

Angel Falls sounds perilously close to Division Bell territory

[ShadowMKII]
