This was inspired by our visit to the Black Diamond - the addition to the Royal Library in Copenhagen - it is an amazing juxtaposition between old and new - this super modern building that is not only attached to the original library, but also contains so much history in the books within.
lyrics
deep in the heart of darkness
lies a book of lies and deep truth
in the heart of a city on the water
a testament to history and proof
a reflection of sky and water
a reflection of thoughts and lives
words that last forever
words that cut like knives
Black diamond
spanning centuries
black diamond
searching miles
black diamond
crossing deserts
black diamond
deep in the soul of a poet
are pictures brought to be
images in the mind’s eye
made for all to see
a reflection of true beginnings
a reflection of air and sea
words that live past lips
words that will forever be
Black diamond
spanning centuries
black diamond
searching miles
black diamond
crossing deserts
black diamond
