Translation of the song lyrics Saltatio Crudelitatis (Tanz der Grausamkeit) - Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows

Saltatio Crudelitatis (Tanz der Grausamkeit) (original)

Tongue of silence, lick my lips,
steal my thoughts, steal my pride.
My soul lies offered as I’m waiting,
intoxicate me when you step inside…
Hold my hands, my hands are trembling,
your charming beauty takes my breath,
fragrant perfumes veil my senses,
hold my hands sweet tormentress.
Out of darkness we call came from,
flight from darkness is in vain,
I am the banquet, I am delicious.
Into darkness we’ll fall back again.
Meister des Mordes, nimm meine Augen,
an diesem Ort kann ich nicht sein.
Strecke mich nieder, zerschlage mein Haupt,
Meister des Mordes, schenke mir den Tod…
Meister des Mordes, erhre mein Flehen,
beende die Leiden, nimm den Schmerz von mir.
ffne die Tore, es ist fr mich Zeit.
Meister des Mordes, dieser Tanz ist Grausamkeit…
Meister des Mordes, nimm meine Augen,
gefangen im Fleische, erbrmlich und alt.
Fhre mich fort in die Dunkelheit,
Vater meiner Seele, dieser Tanz iest Grausamkeit.
Vater meiner Seele, rei mich in den Tod…
…Es tut mir leid.

Tongue of silence, lick my lips,
steal my thoughts, steal my pride.
My soul lies offered as I'm waiting,
intoxicate me when you step inside…
Hold my hands, my hands are trembling,
your charming beauty takes my breath,
fragrant perfumes veil my senses,
hold my hands sweet tormentress.
Out of darkness we call came from,
flight from darkness is in vain,
I am the banquet, I am delicious.
Into darkness we'll fall back again.
Master of Murder, take my eyes
I can't be in this place.
Strike me down, break my head
Master of murder, give me death...
Master of Murder, hear my supplication,
stop the suffering, take the pain away from me.
open the gates, it's time for me.
Master of murder, this dance is cruelty...
Master of Murder, take my eyes
caught in the flesh, pathetic and old.
Lead me away into the darkness
Father of my soul, this dance is cruelty.
Father of my soul, tear me to death...
…I'm sorry.
