Caravaggio (Prologue)

by Gutter Sirens

on Phantom Pains (2016)

You were chosen from the few
With the greatest talent in your hands
With your back turned on God
You created beauty, events on cloth

An exception you were from the chosen
The great fame was granted to you
While at the same time people
Got devoured by hunger and disdain

Caravaggio
Why you lacked faith?
Caravaggio
Humility and reason
Rowdy way of life
Tragically ended your time

You gave a lot to masses
Though were a curse to the one man
The score could be so different
If you listened to your conscience

You were late and didn't make it
But got so close to understand
The plain truth is obvious
Life's always so close to a black grave

Caravaggio
Why you lacked faith?
Caravaggio
Humility and reason
Rowdy way of life
Tragically ended your time
Immortal in people's minds
Mortal among individuals
One line and one cry
One life and one fear
Caravaggio
