Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows

[Original music & lyrics by NICO] "Seinem Geiste bekenne ich mich, ein Sehnen verzehret sein schönes Gesicht, daß, ermattet, von Güte beschattet, allmächtig ist. Sein Körper bewegt sich nicht.. .- im Traume sich endlich sein Zwingen vergißt. Den

I do not eat because I'm hungry though this sometimes happens too, I only eat because I'm lonely and I got nothing else to do. I recently discovered it's the perfect way to pass my time I'm wolfing down all kinds of shit To fill the emptiness inside

I once made a Confession, it won't happen again, I've killed all my Desires after that fateful Day... I once had an Erection, well... sort of... at the Age of Five, we fumbled in the Bushes, Yes, we made out in broad daylight. Not sandbox, slide or j

know one Day my Prince will come, no need for him to be well hung: He will have other Qualities, some of which you have ... never seen ...before. I struggled in my girlish mind trying so hard to dream up my only Mister Right... ...But not a single vi

He woke up, as his flesh fell off ... slice by slice, 他醒来,随着他肉体的坠落,一片一片 Floating high up in the air, more than ten-thousand miles 高高地悬浮在空中,比一万米还要高. He said, he was crucified underneath a baneful sky, 他说,他是被钉在毁灭的天空下面 Had nails through feet and hands,

I know it must seem to you like the strangest thing to say, But in the winter of his presence I've always felt warm and safe. I always knew no skirt no suit would ever bother me, As long as he is present, as long as this man stayed close to me. I do

Gentle words, had been my weapons 温和的话语,成了我的武器 careful openness and fragile honesty 小心翼翼的敞开心扉和脆弱的诚实 had gradually begun to slowly win him over ... - 渐渐赢得他的芳心 and somehow had lured him here. 并且引诱他至此 Despite my obvious display of defect 尽管我明显地展现自己的缺点 m

I've been alone with him inside my mind And in my dreams He kissed my lips a thousand times I sometimes see him pass outside my door Hello, is it me you're looking for? I can't see it in your eyes I can't see it in your smile He's all I've ever wante

Every now and then it seems to me that there is greatest danger lying hidden in the depths of sleep ... Saddesty the wanderer ... who is travelling here for far to often ..., or just longer than his mortal mind would bare. From the other world he can

Who is the old man, who fills my heart with greatest pain yet his name remains unheard? I look at you and true tears shake my eternal Saturnworld. Who is the old man, whose picture burned itself down to the bottom of my soul. You push me back and rai

Bitter Sweet (instr.) - Sopor Aeternus Well this is such a sad affair I´ve opened up my heart so many times But now it´s closed Oh my dear every salted tear It wrings Bitter - sweet applause But when the show´s in full swing Every once in a while Hig

"... kiss the corpse, the blessed sigh, enter the garden of the night. "亲吻尸体,这受祝福的叹息,进入夜的花园 Shed a tear, suspended in fear ... Every soul is starving here ..." 流点眼泪,停止恐惧.所有灵魂都在这里挨饿." The silence of the graves is not silent at all: 坟墓的寂

Hanging down from the ceiling ... the old pendulum now rests, 从天花板上倒掉下来,老钟摆现在停歇了 Time stands still ... - like iron - ... in the house of the dead. 时间停顿,像铁一样,在死者之屋中 Our fragile souls lie weeping, sealed in sleep and balls of lead, 我们脆弱的灵魂躺着饮泣,尘封在睡眠中,在

Dreamland (1844) By a route obscure and lonely, Haunted by ill angels only, Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, On a black throne reigns upright, I have reached these lands but newly From an ultimate dim Thule- From a wild clime that lieth, sublime, Out o

The boy took a stroll the shores of the well-constructed brook, carefully climbed a waterfall, built of semiprecious rock...- and gazed at the crystal that he had picked up from the ground. Washing the boy's bare feet, the cold clear water lapped aro

Hier, unter diesem alten Stein, liegen eng beieinander die Gebein' zweier Wesen, die wie eines war'n. Denn als von beiden das Eine verstarb, folgte das Andere ihm ins Grab ...- nach nicht einmal ganz einem Jahr. 专辑:Dead Lovers' Sarabande (Face One) 歌

What is a game for scholars 什么是专门为学者准备的游戏呢? So: it was sheer necessity 因此:这是完全必须的, nothing but chance that 只是由于机缘 for reasons hidden to the world 由于种种原因它总对世人隐藏 has led the two soul here 导致这两个灵魂相聚于此 Made them equal like dog and owner 让他们平等得就像狗和主人 anno

Have I, without knowledge, made a subtle pass at you, or have the poses that are mine to strike then perhaps posed a threat to you? 我是否有,无意识地,微妙地从你身旁经过,或者我的作出的姿态是否对你造成了威胁? Have I crossed the thin line now, that guards your un-enchanted barn, was it m
