Mark Stoermer - Beautiful Deformities lyrics

A beautiful deformity The oddities carved in relief Confusing the whole monastery Let the mind go, EVIL will grow Unusual monstrosity Threatens all that we believe Abusive curiosities Can we let go of the tableaus With beautiful deformities? Filthy apes and lions distract don’t enlighten Angry soldiers fighting, cloisters shouldn’t frighten Horses with goat heads and fish with four legs?! Freaks may fascinate but hinder meditating Now you may be hating, in the end you’ll thank me Hunters blow cornets and serpents lay eggs!? Before your own d**h I hope you that you will pray Theophilus said that the spirit most divine Takes delight in a heart that shines Embellish this house and do not hide Your talents that are a sacred prize from the light above Beautiful Deformities
