The Black Canvas Lyrics - Borknagar

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
