Balancing light and darkness, to create a vision, of the divine In shadow, tells a story, of when nature and desire collide
Two factions at war, one a great family, patrons of art, victims of envy In the house of god, butchered before all, blood fills the streets, violence is law
Cut down like trees, once men of power, hanging disemboweled from the city tower Conspiracy is foiled, nowhere to run, justice is served under the Tuscan sun
Smiling in torment, strength in distress Your following eyes tell a story of loneliness Faces of marble, bodies of oil Fiction to tell truth, immortalized youth

The sacred is portrayed by the sinner in love, the image of christ, the frescos above A brother and sister, bonded in incest, a cloak of ermine, the smell of frankincense
Our faces unmasked, eyes wide open, sanctity of marriage, vows are broken Born into privilege, but power corrupts, scandal matters not to those beloved
Smiling in torment, strength in distress Your following eyes, tell a story of loneliness Faces of marble, bodies of oil Fiction to tell truth, immortalized youth

Blue eyes shining in the Florentine night, apprentice to a painter, the stars burn bright Forbidden love, our one befall, accusations of the holy in the house of god
I thought I was learning to live, when I was only, learning to die Between the shadows and light, where the beginning and end of all things lie A beautiful body may perish, but a work of art, does not die Spread, and open your wings, like an eagle above, you will learn to fly!Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
