[01:33.55] A stage:
[01:35.55] (By the window, darkest night)
[01:41.41] Imagine what it would be like...!
[01:48.14] No fulfillment, nor hope inside,
[01:54.11] could I endure this sadest fate
[02:00.42] if loneliness was all...?
[02:05.80] (Scene cut)
[02:10.80]
[02:20.28] "Will I ever find the one
[02:25.74] I've waiting for a thousand years?
[02:32.40] But the answer to this question lies
[02:38.65] within the confines of your (hopes and) fears.
[02:44.63] Heal me, feel me, reveal and seal me!
[02:51.39] Shed a light upon my lonely soul!"
[02:57.40] But there is no-one (no other being)
[03:01.00] On the outside to make you whole...
[03:03.99] (Scene cut)
[03:08.99]
[04:22.52] "Twelve faces shape the unholy circle,
[04:30.40] one mask for every opportunity.
[04:38.27] Yet this sphere must remain incomplete...
[04:46.16] - (as) in its centre the thirteenth mask is me."
[04:54.01] If love was something I could feel,
[05:01.86] at least some kind of cheerfulness...
[05:09.78] - but i feel nothing, drowned in pain,
[05:17.59] half-frozen in my emptiness.
[05:25.57] Beyond this veneer of friendliness
[05:33.42] lies my true face that no-one knows.
[05:41.31] This mask's a lie, so obvious and sad,
[05:49.15] my heart is empty and all is cold.
[05:56.72]
[07:23.08] The same stage:
[07:25.08] (On the staircase, some other night)
[07:30.40] Imagine, what it would be like,
[07:36.45] if love was really all...!
[07:38.84] Then I'd truly be alone
[07:42.42] without a resting place or a final home,
[07:47.63] if love was really all...
[08:00.37] "Confide a secret to me,
[08:02.69] and I'll keep it to myself!
[08:05.62] I'm like a temple built of sadness,
[08:09.40] trustworthy like a grave..."
[08:14.54] (Scene cut)
