Self Portrait

Song: Self Portrait
Artist: Blackmore's Night
Album: Under A Violet Moon

Paint me a picture
And hang it on the wall
Color it darkly
The lines will start to crawl

Down
Down
Down

Spin me around
And around

Draw me away
To the night from the day
Leave not a trace
To be found

Down
Down

Nothing is real
But the way that I feel
And I feel like going

Down
Down
Down
Down

Down
Down
Down
Down
Down

Paint me a picture
Of eyes that never see
Flashes of lightning
That burn for only me

Hey
Hey
Hey

There's only
The devil to pay
I'm ready to go

Pull me down from below
Give me a place
I can lay

Hey
Hey

Nothing is real
But the way that I feel
And I feel like going

Down
Down
Down
Down

Down
Down
Down
Down

Down
Down

Nothing is real
But the way that I feel
And I feel like going

Nothing is real
But the way that I feel
And I feel like going

Down
Down
Down
Down

Down
Down
Down

Down
Down
Down
Down
Down

Not exactly pagan but intresting.

[WTFAANU]

I can easily imagine the "betrayed friend" in a fairy tale singing this when (s)he turns evil.

Sometimes things make me nostalgic for a time and place I don't have any recollection of. This is one of those things. This song touches some part of me that I'm usually not aware of. I love this song...

[Theloniusification]

Beautiful as Rainbow's version :3

[qzadds]

e grazie candice per la bella cover

ciao ronnie

[OzzInter]

I just bought this album.

BN albums are hard to find, here in Australia, but I have been able to find an importer who stocks them.

I hope to get the whole set of BN albums one day!

[drquesadilla]

I like BN, and I cannot deny that it is definitely a good variatio of the tune, but its just not the same

[ozzyking]

I love Rainbow, but i don't like this new Blackmore's work. I bet that Candice will cut off blackmore like the Deep Purple and Elf guys haha

[GhanimaChani]

I love this song. I used to read while listening to it, at the time I didn't know who sang it though.
