Borknagar The Black Canvas Lyrics

The Black Canvas Lyrics

The very maxim of the universe

Portrayed by the greatness the stars
rehearse

Premeditated by nature's sense

A modest exuberance so
intense

That every mind has failed to grase it



Forged by
time on the last of eternity

Complex constructions - a stellar
fraternity

Spread out on a canvas of deepest black

The white
glowing softness a fierce attack

On every space still to be filled by
matter



A pursuance of that very first creation

Expansion and
a constant alteration

The fringes of the canvas always stir

The
boundary is bathing in a blur



Forged by time on the last of
eternity

Complex constructions - a stellar fraternity

Spread out on
a canvas of deepest black

The white glowing softness a fierce attack



That odious draught: insufficiency

Touched man as he climbed
himself mentally

Alone with his newborn dexterity

Came death to his
fear - a corollary

Of the fact that the stars never sensed his presence



The very maxim of the universe

Portrayed by the greatness the
stars rehearse



Even Narcissus would drown in the sky

If his
eyes ever rose from the mirror ponds

This radiant image, a stellar
high

Eternally feeding the gnostions: "why"

To which every
nightsky's a vast response



A pursuance of that very first
creation

Expansion and a constant alteration

The fringos of the
canvas always stir

The boundary is bathing in a blur



Forged
by time on the last of eternity

Complex constructions - a stellar
fraternity

Spread out on a canvas of deepest black

The white
glowing softness a fierce attack
