Shadowsphere - Lyrics by Sopor Aeternus

This is a sad day here in the world of shadesbut even pain has its own beautyeven pain can perform a lovely face.
Blinding stream, double-edged,in an extra-terrestrial gloom,beautiful creation of steelgrown in my barren womb...
They way into the light will separate me from my flesh,myriads in their birth-giving redswimming forcefully through-out space.
This darkest space is wideand the mountain is still so high,fly up my black little eyesand cross the frontiers that dare to define my life...
No space too vast and surely no place too far,the groping sister feels that her eyesmust be somewhere alive.
So she is afraid of all the dwellers of the darkin their blindness they will never understandthe tempting gift of sight.
This place is cold, blindly she can feelthe dead wind caressing the rocksfrom high above they come way down,these angels kissing our undead bodies to stone...
