Sopor Aeternus Todeswunsch
Chill is dripping silently, I am drowning in myself. My hope has left me alone and barren, my grave - the only loving place. I hate my own loathsome smell, this stench and old-age and maledorous fear. How I hate each mortal cell that is rottingly existing deep inside of me... I cannot bear the sun so I close me eyes, it is the perfect day to end this wretched life. Give me the reason to life so that I might laugh at least I'll try in bitterness... Stop the waiting, the cruel waiting for nothing. All I want is to forget, finally in Sleep of Death... I could die just like a christian. I could fade away in sleep but I want to die for someone, for the one who waits for me. I long to be a sacrifice for the Lord, my Lord of the Darkest Side. Everyday is a perfect day, a perfect day for suicide...! Deliver me from the mindless crowd when steps grow dumb behind my back. Save me from their poisoned locks harassing like daggers through my neck... Here, where it's like hell to exist only Death can bring salvation. Please, release me from my chains that crucify me to my eternal tribulation. Here, where even my own image is spitting, where I have to hide my face. Where the distress seems so endlessly, in this god-forsaken place... In a former time in a long forgotten place, when the masks and the faces had been identical twins. As our sanctuaries were locked to hypocritical lies now befouled they lay bare as they stalked in so well gisguised... 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...
