Under His Light - Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows

Like sunlight on winterskin,

such is the pleasure he brings.

Down, down, down… to the

high-pitched sound of insect-like

buzzing machines.

Will he be waiting for me?

Bottles of ink and parchments

of glory, all testify to the

intricate story that slowly unfolds

in my mind…-

how could I not bath him in light?

Yet, true is the heart that asks

for nothing in return.

I can’t tell him how I feel,

just abandon all hope as I lean back

and close my eyes…-

there are scars in the evening sky.

Green is the light of the

healing heart… or the demon

that tears you apart.

Down, further down.

to the

ever soothing sound

of busily humming machines.

He had not been waiting for me.

The autumn-flower of spring

knows that hope is a terrible thing.

Content with what little may come,

his hands are warm like the sunlight

dancing on pale winterskin…-

I cherish the pleasure he brings

to me.
