Lyrics If Loneliness Was All - Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows

If Loneliness Was All

«Will I ever find the one I"ve waiting for a thousand years?»
but the answer to this question lies within the confines of your (hopes and)
fears.
«Heal me, feel me, reveal and seal me!
Shed a light upon my lonely soul!»
But there is no-one (no other being) on the outside to make you whole …
(scene cut)
«Twelve faces shape the unholy circle, one mask for any opportunity.
This sphere must remain incomplete …- (as) in its centre the thirteenth mask
is me.»
If love was something I could feel, at least some kind of cheerfulness …
— but i feel nothing, drowned in pain, half-frozen in my emptiness
Beyond this veneer of friendless lies my true face, that no-one knows.
This mask"s a lie, obvious and sad, my heart is empty and all is cold.
The same stage:
(on the staircase, some other night)
Imagine, what it would be like, if love was really all !!!
Then I"
d truly be alone without
a resting place or a final home, if love was really all …
«Confide a secret to me, and I"ll keep it to myself! I"m like a temple built of sadness, trustworthy like a grave …»
