Hades 'Pluton' - Sopo Aeternus

I dreamt that I was lying on the bottom

Of the dark and never-ending sea

On a bed that my dead lover was preparing

With his own skeleton for me

" bring us a goat and we'll show

You the way straight through the realm

Of the fallen and slain "

I sensed the wretched spectres of the

Drowned staring across from some distant shore

And in my sadness I drew closer

To condole and somewhat to implore

I'm like the doubtful kiss of a corpse or

Maybe the kiss of an ancient stone

Yes it's like kissing some marble statue

That has neither warmth nor life of its own

" down further down where the gloom

Becomes sound onto the cell where your

Love might be found "

COVER THE MIRRORS FRAGILE HAS DIED

LEAVING BUT A STARLESS RUIN BEHIND

SHATTER THE MIRRORS SO THAT HE CAN

NEVER BE CALLED BACK FROM THE BLESSED

SILENCE OF HIS SCARED VAULT

No no no - put an end to the show

I am going back to the land where

The bone-flowers grow to "the wild

Weird clime that lies sublime

Out of Space and out of Time"

See the shape but can't see through

No-one can ever hate me as well as I do

Know when to throw a laugh

Know how to force a smile

Whatever the intention -

I'm such a "friendly" lie

" bring us only this goat and we'll lead you to him

It shall open the gates so we can sneak you in "

"Bring us a goat and we'll show you the

Straight through the realm of the fallen and slain

Down further down where the gloom becomes sound

Onto the cell where your love might be found
