Gargoyle
2004 Bodypainting |
|
Gargoyles, creatures of stone,
crafted by man a long long time ago
to protect churches and castles...
...as time went on people forgot
the knowledge of their ancestors
and friendship became fear,
fear became hatress.
That hurt these creatures very deeply.
Because of that magic pain
they broke their stony hull at night
as no one was able to see them.
Since then night by night they awake to life,
gliding around, and with the first sunshine
they turn into stone again.
