The Black Canvas - 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
