The Dreadful Mirror - Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows (永恒沉睡)

White as snow lie my lover＇s bones

In the soft velvet soil of the vault

And I his bride sleep by his side

To celebrate our sacred love

At times it seems that I＇m existing only

Within some fading memory

But dreams are all sacred dreams are all holy

And by far still the safest place for my poor soul to be

Do not speak of the terrible place

That guided your war-horse and your living stake

We are dancing in circles with the dear living dead

We are blessed with the corpses that coil round our necks

Please don＇t speak of that terrible place

That once guided your war-horse and your living stake

We are taking a walk with our dear walking dead

Feeling blessed with the corpses that feed on our necks

I caught a glimpse of myself on the other sphere

And for a fleeting moment I forgot the tears

Dreams are precious and OH so is sleep

This my safest yet by far the most fragile of all retreats

Do not speak of the terrible place

That guided your war horse and your living stake

We are dancing in circles with the dear living dead

We are blessed with the corpses that coil round our necks

Please don＇t speak of that terrible place

That once guided your war-horse and your living stake

We are taking a walk with our dear walking dead

Feeling blessed with the corpses that feed on our necks
