Versuri If loneliness was all
- Sopor Aeternus

a stage:
(by the window, darkest night).

Imagine what it would be like if loneliness was all..! No fulfillment, nor hope inside, could I endure this sadest fate if loneliness was all..?.

(scene cut).

"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.. ".
