Pain and Ecstasy (Studio cover)

Description

• Pain and Ecstasy  (Behind the song)This song focuses on a contrast. That between what soldiers face and common citizens. Our world is filled with entertaining gadgets that produce an exaggerated ecstasy or pleasure. On the other side are soldiers whose lives become marked by their tragic experiences in the war and the memories and dreams afterward that have stained their lifes forever. The song addresses this sad contrast. Will soldiers ever be able to forget the memories and terrible pain acquired by these terrible circumstances. These words can be encouraging to those soldiers, “For look! I am creating new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be called to mind, Nor will they come up into the heart.” Those horrible experiences will be erased , never to torture the thinking again. In the mean time let us show compassion to those who have faced such bitterness.

 

LYRICS

PAIN AND ECSTASY

 

SEE THE PRETTY THINGS THERE ARE

 

WRAPPING AROUND EVERY STAR

 

WHIRLING THROUGH YOU HEART AND SOUL

 

MAKING YOUR LIFE SO VERY WHOLE

 

BUT THEN AGAIN THERE S THE STAIN

 

THAT LEAVES SO MANY DRAINED

 

I VE NEVER FELT THE PAIN

 

BUT I VE SEEN THE RAIN

 

CHORUS:       AND SOMEWHERE OUT THERE A LONELY SOLDIER CRIES

 

AND SOMEWHERE OUT THERE A LONELY SOLDIER CRIES

 

AND SOMEWHERE OUT THERE A LONELY SOLDIER CRIES

 

AND SOMEWHERE OUT THERE A LONELY SOLDIER CRIES

 

I DON T KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH ME

 

TOO MUCH PAIN AND ECSTASY

 

TURN A DIAL TO MAKE YOU SMILE

 

CLOSE YOUR EYES TO THE DARKENED CRIES

 

ITS SAID WAR IS PAIN AND WAR IS HELL

 

BUT THE PAIN CONTINUES TO DWELL

 

TAKE A LIFE AND BURN A SOUL

 

AND SEND IT DOWN THE ROAD

 

CHORUS:

I DON T KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH ME

 

TO MUCH PAIN AND ECSTASY
