lyrics

Ready to raise the Devil
An arrogant wreck on the boulevard
Fame gives no pleasure to him who has stolen it
The eyes of the painted man in the half light of the moon

The sick one knew nothing
Save vain desire and passions
He grew unrecognized colorless and oh so cold
The eyes of the painted man crept out of the frame

All the purple and all the gold in the world
Oh to sell a soul for it all

No monster of ignorance
Ever destroyed so much
How could he forget the wretched portrait
The eyes of the painted man an invocation of the damned

All the purple and all the gold in the world
Oh to sell a soul for it all

Mercilessly wasted youth
Magnificence and beauty extinguished

All the purple and all the gold in the world
Oh to sell a soul for it all
