Poet's Blood

    • Poet's Blood

      (Inspiriert durch Shakespeare's Sonnet No. 65)

      How striking comes this fearful meditation
      When even Black Inck's ever been time's slave?
      It rages inside the poet's inspiration
      Whatever on this planet could be safe?

      The lines made up they fade, become uncertain
      The melody that struck the hearts gets cold
      The moment's magic's lost behind the curtain
      So what, if not Black Inck, 's the poet's gold?

      The song dies as the band's unmotivated
      The rolling days dry up their dreams so fast
      The power of the word is overrated
      So face that beauty isn't made to last

      And once the poet's heart will yet be rotten
      I trust in wind's grace to remember me
      When once the poet has been long forgotten
      And ink and paper washed out to the sea


      But though I know mortality won't matter
      As long as poet's minds will still be cut
      I know that in their veins I'll live forever
      For ink has ever been the poet's blood
