Lyrics

[00:48.000] Shivering with ... awe ... and delight:
[00:55.000] "Here is my throat", he said,“
[01:02.000] As he bowed his head ... in silence ... to him.
[01:16.000] Behold his white flesh ... shining in the velvet of darkness.
[01:29.000] Take him now, and he will be yours ...
[01:33.000] Can't you see, how he longs to be yours ... forever ... and a day.
[01:42.000] ...silently the river flows ... ...
[01:57.000] "Meister des Mordes, nimm meine Augen,“
[02:07.000] An diesem Ort kann ich nicht sein,
[02:16.000] Strecke mich nieder, zerschlage mein Haupt,
[02:25.000] Meister des Mordes, schenke mir den Tod!"
[02:34.000] There he stood, bare and willing,
[02:39.000] As the blood ... his blood ... was streaming,
[02:42.000] down his naked body ... this naked body.
[02:51.000] Gushing out of the wounds, enfeebled he was sinking to the floor.
[03:00.000] Gushing out of the wounds, enfeebled he was sinking to the floor.
[03:08.000] "Cold" , he thought, "so cold the stones,
[03:12.000] But I'll be colder soon!"
[03:17.000] "Cold" , he thought, "so cold the stones,
[03:21.000] But I'll be colder soon!"
[03:26.000] Still not enough ... still not enough.
[03:43.000] "This is the moment, my beautiful, beloved one,
[03:47.000] The time has come to send your farewell to the sun,
[03:51.000] To cross the threshold and leave ... all these mortal dregs behind.
[04:00.000] You shall be flesh of my flesh ... and blood of my blood.
[04:09.000] Flesh of my flesh ... and blood of my blood.
[04:17.000] Let me take what you have to give,
[04:21.000] Let me take ... and you shall receive.
[04:25.000] Let me take what you have to give,
[04:30.000] Let me take ... and you shall receive.
[04:34.000] Feel the beat of my dead heart,
[04:38.000] Feel the beat of my heart ... and drink, as I have done ...
[04:47.000] Drink, my beautiful, beloved one!"
[05:08.000] A new flower in the ancient bouquet,
[05:17.000] Another rose in the garden of darkness,
[05:22.000] That will never see the day ...
[05:25.000] That will never see the day ...
[05:35.000] That will never, never see the day.
[06:18.000] "...Tränen sind Perlen, Juwelen der Sterbenden ..."
