The Pedestrians - Il Divino lyrics

IL DIVINO (Music and Lyrics: Reineke) As I look out, out across this battlefield, I hope my wounds will heal over time So I'll stretch out in stark white and oh so pale You can see every last detail See my lines As I gaze out, consternation on my face Someone take me from this place for all time So please write down whatever happens on this day So that all the world may say victory was mine They'll call me an artist, divine with a purpose to my hand They'll call me a genius A Renaissance, Renaissance man Hammer in my hand and a chisel in my fist, etch the pupils in your eyes so you can see me Tell me stone, whisper to me, what do you wanna be? Lay it out, then sweep away the debris As he's laid down, oh so small across my knee, smaller than I thought he'd be, but still a man Carve our shapes out, place my hand beneath his head Remove these wounds and place instead your master plan As I reach out, newer than what's always been, catch the spark alone from him, alive I stand It is done, now, the Grand Experiment begins From my mind and from within your steady hand
