I just leave behind
The smell of nitric acid
No I can't
Allow you to
Reveal my darkest secret
The canvas sweating blood
Upon my hand
This red stain screams
Old friend lying dead
There at my feet
Oh sweet Venice
I can't forget
The smell of nitric acid
Yeah I tried
Leave all behind
There's no escape
From you
The canvas sweating blood
Upon my hand
This red stain screams
Old friend lying dead
There at my feet
Oh sweet Venice
