If Loneliness Was All Lyrics

Sopor Aeternus If Loneliness Was All

Imagine what it would be like if loneliness was all
...! No fulfillment, nor hope inside, could I endure
this sadest fate if loneliness was all ...?

(scene cut)

"Will I ever find the one I've waiting for a thousand
years?"
but the answer to this question lies within the
confines of your (hopes and) fears.
"Heal me, feel me, reveal and seal me! Shed a light
upon my lonely soul!"
But there is no-one (no other being) on the outside to
make you whole ...

(scene cut)

"Twelve faces shape the unholy circle, one mask for any
opportunity. This sphere must remain incomplete ...-
(as) in its centre the thirteenth mask is me."
If love was something I could feel, at least some kind
of cheerfulness ...- but i feel nothing, drowned in
pain, half-frozen in my emptiness
Beyond this veneer of friendless lies my true face,
that no-one knows. This mask's a lie, obvious and sad,
my heart is empty and all is cold.

The same stage:
(on the staircase, some other night)

Imagine, what it would be like, if love was really all
...! Then I'd truly be alone without a resting place or
a final home, if love was really all ...
"Confide a secret to me, and I'll keep it to myself!
I'm like a temple built of sadness, trustworthy like a
grave ..."
