Текст (слова) песни: Theatre Of Tragedy - Black As The Devil Paintech (remix)

Black In The Devil Painteth

An artist is what is calld the self that the brush holdeth -
Though hath it then caringly caressd 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-hued archneath the High Heavens rich emblazonry,
The flowery meadow, embracd by the horizon - snowflaked and aery mountains,
In which the barebreasted 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 painted?

The raven sky preyd on by the snowfilld, blustery clouds,
Unadorned the meadow - hunger driveth the wolf out of the wood,
The maidens chained and whipped within a dreary dungeon -
And, lo! twixt the wizen roses a mossy grave:
"The Devil is as Black as he Painteth" -
O Canvas! wherefore?...
