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

By the window, darkest night

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

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 on the outside to make you whole ...

Twelve faces shape the unholy circle,
one mask for every 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, its obvious and sad,
My heart is empty and all is cold.

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...
