Shadowsphere Lyrics - Singles - Sopor Aeternus

This is a sad day here in the world of shades 

but even pain has its own beauty 

even pain can perform a lovely face. 

Blinding stream, double-edged, 

in an extra-terrestrial gloom, 

beautiful creation of steel 

grown in my barren womb... 

They way into the light will separate me from my flesh, 

myriads in their birth-giving red 

swimming forcefully through-out space. 

This darkest space is wide 

and the mountain is still so high, 

fly up my black little eyes 

and cross the frontiers that dare to define my life... 

No space too vast and surely no place too far, 

the groping sister feels that her eyes 

must be somewhere alive. 

So she is afraid of all the dwellers of the dark 

in their blindness they will never understand 

the tempting gift of sight. 

This place is cold, blindly she can feel 

the dead wind caressing the rocks 

from high above they come way down, 

these angels kissing our undead bodies to stone...
