The Artist Lyrics - Rescue - Silverstein

The artist's palette falls 

The paint is spilled with blood 

Someone shot him down 

Left him without a soul 

His body's laid to rest 

And underground he'll stay 

With hopes to resurrect 

And live again another day 

Now they decide who lives and dies 

Now 

His peers won't come around 

They're too disgraced to face 

Another soldier down 

His life's work, a waste

NEW SONG: Madonna - 'God Control' - LYRICS 

And now these walls are bare 

No one pretends to care 

A distant memory 

His masterpiece in disrepair 

Now they decide who lives and dies 

Now they will hold you back 

They will hold you back 

They will hold you 

We stand tall and illumine 

We fight through and prevail, we will prevail 

We don't stop where you'd be giving up 

We won't ever fail 

A martyr takes his hand 

To make him live again 

With savage sleight of hand 

He'll force his legs to stand 

Photos 

A sick and gutless joke 

A serenading hoax 

Interrupted peace, a waste of time 

A pathetic excuse for hope 

The sleepless nights have no compassion 

And the dreams that come aren't true 

A charade of lies unconscious 

And so much left to be proved 

But the sun will rise and fall again 

And the nights will start to shorten 

The memories will fade into darkness 

You can't let it go 

But your world is turned upside down 

It's a panic you can't release 

Once you have it, you just can't 

Ever ignore it 

That's when you realize your best 

Days are behind you 

And all you ever live for 

Is regret 

You can't take it away, you 

You can't take it away, you
