For long endless millions of instants I drank at the goblet of illusion Tilling tumours and follies Desperately wandering through the dark tunnels of the bone box Then, submitting I chose to drown in the ashes of my dreams When purity is raped, three days are not enough to resurrect Everywhere leprosy spreads out The light of the eyes is extinguished Thunders now shatter the eardrums The scream is: The plague be on you! Sacrilegium Profanatio omnium quae deo Vel sanctis propositis consecrantur It seems like yesterday We were children and playing at running after each other You would often lock me in the dark cellar And I implored: Please open! I used to run trampling on the little heads cut off Spread ripe on the lawn We had no mother so we're taking turns in being her You have visiting my dreams leaving to snow Through almost closed fingers Glittering crystals of verginal illusions Die partei ist hitler! Hitler aber ist deutschland wie deutschland hitler ist! Hitler, sieg heil! Time seemed our brother until the deadly night Twisted, I preserved you, jealously - beside me Gelid, adorned with the damned cloths of the sudden silence While dreamful I offered you A smile in a suspended flash The spirit was plucked away By the sacrilege of fatal arms! Where is the bride? Forsaken him! Fleeing the deceived! Left him alone! Forever! Remember? Forever! I kept the secret Talk, talk You fools! Forever I wanted Still, lifeless and empty The shadow of you to lie on the bridal couch Where you laughed astonished Minding the tales bizarre and contorted I told you every night Prior to submitting to the empire of the dark Patris et filii et spiritus sancti Descendat super vos et maneat semper. Amen Mors at suae cohortis ludus Anathema, anathema tibi! Arcani vis et natura Anathema, anathema tibi! They who know, do not speak! They who talk, do not know! Maledictus! Maledictus! We are just sketches of men Caught in a wicked vortex where tertium non datur Between being God or being damned But, after all isn't it true that An inaudible suggestion, an ineffable remorse A secret instinct reveal the impurity hidden in success The vulgarity of victory, the filth nestling In fortune pure purity Absolute catharsis is in misadventure In tragedy in one's ineluctable check mate The dust I used to build The impalpable reality of my nights Brings me back along the paths Where I scattered useless hopes Believe! Can I trust you? No, please, don't! Can I trust you? Forever, really, forever! My name is damned These are just oaths engraved in the water Obey! Thank you, sir As a child, or an idiot Who follows the laws of the others? Quicksands have just one unrelenting goal Bon voyage, mon amour Fight! That invisible enemy nestled behind those Gorgeous, false, sharp smiles I can’t just say: Goodbye! In order to conquer the future: And destroy it! I go back - once more - into the abyss of my nothing You know The dead have the virtue of looking like each other And when the lights dim and falls slowly the curtain I return to dance in a ring With the skeleton man and the bearded lady The bird-boy and the laughing dwarf Among dragons and avenging angels Winged maidens and herds of blind men Who dark with open wide orbits Taking me at last to the world where Uncertainty does not exist In heaven or underground Sacrilegium Forasmuch as it hath pleased almighty God In his great message To take out of this world the soul Of our dead brother here departed We therefore commit this body to the ground Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust In sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life Through our lord Jesus Christ, amen Even angels cry If a heron refuses to fly and prefer to creep among worms
