Song for Theocritus (Demo)

Song for Theocritus (Demo) from Primordius (A Mythology Concept Demo EP) Cover Art by Quinn Hoffmann An original song by Tape and Tears, inspired by the poems "Beauty Fades," "Birds of a Feather," and "Dreams" written by Theocritus. Ant loves ant and the birds do tend to flock but me the muse and song enchant Neither sleep nor spring can appear more sweet than the presence of the Muses to me The violet is fair in spring, and quickly grows out of date The lily is white, fading when it droops For in sleep every dog dreams of food and the artisan will crave your love too Beautiful is the bloom of youth but it lasts only for a short time For in sleep every dog dreams of food and the artisan will crave your love too Beautiful is the knowledge known it's ours to hold, not to have for all time The snow is cold, melting from its conception, and we grow old in a sea of recollection It is messy, it is dirty, it is hard to discern reality The rose is beauteous but fades to potpourri and I long to be soil, protecting everything Within my lungs, within my dirt, am I inevitably the hurt when my shelter isn’t for eternity For in sleep every dog dreams of food and the artisan will crave your love too Beautiful is the bloom of youth but it lasts only for a short time For in sleep every dog dreams of food and the artisan will crave your love too Beautiful is the knowledge known it's ours to hold, not to have for all time It’s ours to hold, not to have for all time It’s ours to hold, not to have for all time
