Der Tanz der Schatten [English translation]

"My eyes are so dark,

nevertheless you hid your eyes.

Even the visions are black

A flare behind the darkness

Black like the night

A light that has shown me

the endless sleep of humanity

that you have lived up to

Is the time of my existence

Please tell me

Why you carry this fear within you?"

"I am so alone

Loneliness for eternity

Thoughts just for me

I whisper with the shadow

I dance with the shadow

Alone I wander

I desire blood: Dance of death"

"To welcome the kiss of death

Dance no longer with the shadow

follow the darkness into nothingness!

Please do not dance over the grave

Sweet nectar on your lips

Dance with me the waltz of Lucifer

A trickle of blood-soaked life

I long to be your bride

I will lick the love out of your face

So as to become darkness

I will lick the hate out of your face“

„Such an intoxicating feeling:

For always and forever

to taste my bitter existence!

I am a minister of yours“

„Allow me to embrace your kiss

the self-destructive kiss...“

„Indulge in me!

I was filled with grief

I was so comfortable...

... until I die, hold me

but you have ignited my love...

and I will arise once more...

I love you...“
