Arcanum (Da Vinci's Enigma)

Or the shadows fade away
Into thoughts and words

In that hated mirror
I saw the tired smile
Of a man still lost
Who no longer knew how to lift his gaze

In the luminous tones
Of that touching painting
He sought advice
He found his great courage

Symphonies of astral worlds
And celestial mechanics
Great secrets that to mortal intuition
Are granted

In the vibration of a color
His art will sing
One will hear echoes
True genius

Illumination of the storm
Sigh of the moon
Sacred soul still warrior
In the hidden deception
Arcanum

Sounds and numbers now sublime
In a heart of amethyst

In that beloved painting
He found a way
Beyond that wall of shadow
That had already mortified him

In the singular detail
Of his naked portrait
He found comfort
Now resolute and even more inspired

Symphonies of astral worlds
And celestial mechanics
Great secrets that to mortal intuition
Are granted

In the vibration of a color
His art will sing
One will hear echoes
True genius

Illumination of the storm
Sigh of the moon
Sacred soul still warrior
In the hidden deception
Arcanum

In that beloved painting
He found a way
Beyond that wall of shadow
That had already mortified him

In the singular detail
Of his naked portrait
He found comfort
Now resolute and even more inspired

Symphonies of astral worlds
And celestial mechanics
Great secrets that to mortal intuition
Are granted

Illumination of the storm
Sigh of the moon
Sacred soul still warrior
In the hidden deception
Arcanum

Illumination of the storm
Sigh of the moon
Sacred soul always proud
In the hidden enchantment
Arcanum
