Coppelius - To My Creator lyrics

Hello, do you remember me? I'm your painting, your history On a rich man's wall, I'm to be seen I've come to you in your dream You painted for immortality And had such a great ability Colors and brushes were your tools You thought all others were just fools I'm here to torture you tonight There is no hope or help in sight People looking at my face Eternal beauty, charm and grace Noone cares that you're my creator Soon you'll fade and meet your maker You were as genius without a doubt With no free time, you were too proud Years ago your friends turned away Because you were working night and day But now you see what you have done For you are old and I remain forever young Traded life for work when you were in bloom Stinging like salt in your wound One thought brings terror to your brain Why did you live your life in vain? Even though your art lives through the ages You lived an empty life in cages Now victimized a price so high Too late to change, soo you'll die People looking at my face Eternal beauty, charm and grace Noone cares that you're my creator Soon you'll fade and meet your maker
