Текст песни Black as the Devil Painteth (Remix) - 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-hu′d arch'neath the High Heaven's rich emblazonry,
The flowery meadow, embrac′d by the horizon - snowflak′d and aery mountains,
In which the barebreast'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 paint′d?
The raven sky prey'd on by the snowfill′d, blustery clouds,
Unadorn'd the meadow - hunger driveth the wolf out of the wood,
The maidens chain'd and whipp′d within a dreary dungeon -
And, lo! ′twixt the wizen roses a mossy grave:
"The Devil is as Black as he Painteth" -
O Canvas! wherefore?...
