Sopor Aeternus
Текст песни Todeswunsch (version)

Chill is dripping secretly
I am drowning in myself
my grave the only loving place
I hate my own loathsome smell
this stench of old-age and maledorous fear
how I hate each mortal cell, dwells rotting
deep inside of me...
Cannot bare the sun, I close my eyes
it's the perfect day to end this life.
Give me life's reason that I might laugh
at least I'll try in bitterness...
Chorus:
Stop the waiting, the waiting for nothing
all I want is to forget, finally
in Sleep of Death
I could die like a Christian, I could fade away in sleep,
but I want to die for someone, for the one who waits for me.
I want to be a sacrifice for the Lord,
the Lord of the dark side,
everyday is a perfect day, a perfect day for suicide...!
(Chorus)
Deliver me from the mindless crowd,
when steps grow dumb behind my back;
save me from their poisoned looks,
harassing like daggers through my neck...
Here, where it's Hell to exist,
only Death can bring salvation;
release me from my chains that crucify me
to my eternal tribulation.
Here, where even my reflection is spiting,
where I have my reflection is spitting,
where I have to hide my face;
where I have to hide my face;
where the distress seems so endlessly,
in this god-forsaken place...
In a former time in a forgotten place,
when the masks and the faces had been identical twins,
as our sanctuaries were locked to hypocritical lies,
new befouled they lay bare as they stalked in
well disguised...
Suicide, sweet suicide
deepest darkness veils my eyes...
Suicide, sweet suicide
jet-black darkness clouds my mind...
Suicide, sweet suicide
deepest darkness in my heart....
Suicide, sweet suicide
my unclean soul, I know no light....

("TIME HEALS NOTHING")
