Ian Hunter
Guernica
[Verse 1]
I just wanted to tell you I love you
I just wanted to tell you again
I saw you today on your mountain
I just want you to know that I'm there
Got a whole other world standing next to me
Little angels directing my hands
They won’t let me choose from the colors I use
They want violence and black like Cezanne
The raging side is hard to hide
I blame it on this trial
When I painted Guernica

[Verse 2]
These are dangerous times for thinkin'
I'm a stranger in a strange land
If you think for yourself, you’re a traitor
It's like walking on quicksand
So I work in the shadows of uncertainty
Waiting for that knock at the door
When a gauleiter says, "Is this your idea?"
I say "No, I thought it was yours"
Just a drum off track, I went all the way back
The Minotaur [imagia?]
When I painted Guernica
When I painted Guernica
When I painted Guernica
Alright
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Fly away, fly away from the starting tracks
That's green and white in the meadows
Fly away, fly away from your worst nightmare
As you disappear in the shadows
Fly away, fly away from your broken bones
Fly away, fly away from evil
This big [?guy] screams I'll [?flat] your dreams
Fly away, fly away to freedom

[Verse 3]
This picture is a chamber of horrors
This picture's a crucifixion
It'll hang on the walls of eternity halls
It will never be forgotten
When my hands veil the truth behind images
This picture is trying to explain
If this anger smashes into your consciousness
Then this picture will not be in vain
And the camera smells arrested shells, I created a monster
When I painted Guernica
When I painted Guernica
When I painted Guernica
Alright
