[00:17.28]Chill is dripping silently,
[00:20.93]I am drowning in myself.
[00:24.99]My hope has left me alone and barren,
[00:30.04]my grave - the only loving place.
[00:33.70]I hate my own loathsome smell,
[00:37.48]this stench and old-age and maledorous fear.
[00:42.14]How I hate each mortal cell that is rottingly
[00:45.88]existing deep inside of me...
[00:49.82]I cannot bear the sun so I close me eyes,
[00:55.25]it is the perfect day to end this wretched life.
[01:00.05]
[01:10.40]Give me the reason to life so that I might laugh
[01:15.04]at least I'll try in bitterness...
[01:21.07]
[01:25.02]Stop the waiting, the cruel waiting for nothing.
[01:31.41]All I want is to forget, finally
[01:36.67]in Sleep of Death...
[01:39.92]I could die just like a christian.
[01:43.57]I could fade away in sleep,
[01:48.20]but I want to die for someone,
[01:53.05]for the one who waits for me.
[01:56.43]I long to be a sacrifice for the Lord,
[02:01.90]my Lord of the Darkest Side.
[02:04.89]Everyday is a perfect day, a perfect day for suicide...!
[02:13.93]
[02:25.60]I cannot bear the sun so I close me eyes,
[02:30.10]it is the perfect day to end this wretched life.
[02:34.15]
[02:40.09]Stop the waiting, the cruel waiting for nothing.
[02:46.61]All I want is to forget, finally
[02:51.72]in Sleep of Death...
[02:54.35]
[02:55.20]Deliver me from the mindless crowd
[02:58.91]when steps grow dumb behind my back.
[03:03.39]Save me from their poisoned locks
[03:07.29]harassing like daggers through my neck...
[03:12.60]Here, where it's like hell to exist
[03:16.62]only Death can bring salvation.
[03:20.64]Please, release me from my chains that crucify me
[03:26.46]to my eternal tribulation.
[03:28.46]
[03:41.43]Give me the reason to life so that I might laugh
[03:47.11]at least I'll try in bitterness...
[03:51.61]
[03:57.32]Stop the waiting, the cruel waiting for nothing.
[04:03.47]All I want is to forget, finally
[04:08.33]in Sleep of Death...
[04:11.94]Here, where even my own image is spitting,
[04:16.67]where I have to hide my face.
[04:20.35]Where the distress seems so endlessly,
[04:24.41]in this god-forsaken place...
[04:28.69]In a former time in a long forgotten place,
[04:36.94]when the masks and the faces had been identical twins.
[04:45.42]As our sanctuaries were locked to hypocritical lies
[04:53.48]now befouled they lay bare as they stalked in
[04:59.52]so well gisguised...
[05:05.36]Suicide, sweet suicide
[05:08.70]Deepest darkness veils my eyes...
[05:11.58]Suicide, sweet suicide
[05:14.77]Jet-black darkness clouds my mind...
[05:18.75]Suicide, sweet suicide
[05:21.72]Deepest darkness in my heart...
[05:25.61]Suicide, sweet suicide
[05:27.56]My unclean soul, I know no light...
