[00:24.53]"... Kiss the corpse, the blessed sigh,
[00:29.25]Enter the garden of the night.
[00:34.70]Shed a tear, suspended in fear ... -
[00:39.87]Every soul is starving here ..."
[00:45.88]
[00:55.71]The silence of the graves is not silent at all:
[01:06.06]Millions of the dead are crying in their graves,
[01:16.34]But no-one can hear them ...
[01:21.53]No-one ever hears ...
[01:27.00]No-one can hear them ...
[01:30.81]Except for the dead themselves.
[01:36.04]No we can't die, no we can't die,
[01:40.73]It doesn't even matter if we try.
[01:45.87]We fear/hate the living,
[01:48.46]We shun the light,
[01:51.06]Our beloved tombs keep us sheltered inside.
[01:56.86]
[02:00.50]Sleep ... sleep is the brother of death,
[02:09.26]So lie down beside this skeleton
[02:15.72]In the coldness of the grave,
[02:20.34]Let the embrace of his dead arms
[02:25.12]Keep you all save and sound.
[02:30.24]Buried in slumber ... silently ...
[02:35.12]Forever beneath the ground.
[02:40.70]Stalk "The night", if that's your wish,
[02:44.98]With your foolish garlic-chain and crucifix,
[02:50.20]Yet, if you find our graves, we won't be there,
[02:55.32]There are thousands of places left for our despair.
[03:01.50]
[03:03.44]And every night it's the same again:
[03:15.01]"The feast of Blood is about to begin !"
[03:25.06]We are wretched ... pathetic ... the flickering souls,
[03:34.13]But staging our pain is all part of the whole.
[03:45.53]And when all lights are fading,
[03:49.90]Leaving but a fleeting glow,
[03:54.80]Then, after far too many years,
[03:59.54]It's time for us to go.
[04:05.13]
[04:27.48]"Kiss the corpse - the blessed sigh -
[04:31.71]Walk in the garden of the night.
[04:36.52]Shed a tear, suspended in fear ... -
[04:41.08]Every soul is starving here.
[04:45.91]Hold the carcass, sweetest lie,
[04:49.92]Bury the body you chose to deny,
[04:54.73]Shed a tear, suspended in fear ... -
[04:59.30]Every soul is starving here."
