The Legend of Zurbarán Songtext
von Mark Sheeky

I know I′m poor
A pile of rags and bones
A shadow of a beast
A broken robe

But I was an artist once
I was an artist once

You will ignore
As I ignored the rats
Around me as I toiled
About my pain

But I was an artist once
I was an artist once


I bet you think you could have
Been like me, but better
Pity my bones!
Bless my rotted teeth!
My failure is your spark
But I'm not envied, just beaten
Not envied, defeated
You just wait until I die, then
A true legend is born!

So be inspired
Love my gentle works
Weep at my broken life
Of madness

But I was an artist once
I was an artist once
