歌词

作词 : Theatre of Tragedy
An artist is what is call'd the self that the brush holdeth -
Though hath it then caringly caress'd the Canvas of to-morrow?,
O Canvas! for thee I hold my tool - still! passionless it quivereth,
Minding not that my hands are more than apt;
My Muse,
Where is hidden
The blue-huéd arch'neath the High Heaven's rich emblazonry,
The flowery meadow, embrac'd by the horizon - snowflakéd and aery mountains,
In which the barebreastéd maidens dance to the lay o' midsummer,
Aloft the distant lazy flapping of the doves in vainglore.
O Canvas!, wherefore canst thou these images not allow? -
I deem a projection of my Theatre they should be! -
Then, I challenge thee the wisdom of naysaying the yearns o' mine -
What is this unforseen that not enjoineth light shades to be skillfully paintéd?
The raven sky prey'd on by the snowfill'd, blustery clouds,
Unadornéd the meadow - hunger driveth the wolf out of the wood,
The maidens chainéd and whippéd within a dreary dungeon -
And, lo! 'twixt the wizen roses a mossy grave:
"The Devil is as Black as he Painteth" -
O Canvas! wherefore?...

An artist is what is call' d the self that the brush holdeth
Though hath it then caringly caress' d the Canvas of tomorrow?,
O Canvas! for thee I hold my tool still! passionless it quivereth,
Minding not that my hands are more than apt
My Muse,
Where is hidden
The bluehué d arch' neath the High Heaven' s rich emblazonry,
The flowery meadow, embrac' d by the horizon snowflaké d and aery mountains,
In which the barebreasté d maidens dance to the lay o' midsummer,
Aloft the distant lazy flapping of the doves in vainglore.
O Canvas!, wherefore canst thou these images not allow?
I deem a projection of my Theatre they should be!
Then, I challenge thee the wisdom of naysaying the yearns o' mine
What is this unforseen that not enjoineth light shades to be skillfully painté d?
The raven sky prey' d on by the snowfill' d, blustery clouds,
Unadorné d the meadow hunger driveth the wolf out of the wood,
The maidens chainé d and whippé d within a dreary dungeon
And, lo! ' twixt the wizen roses a mossy grave:
