Sopor Aeternus Across The Bridge Lyrics

From far beyond the veil of sleep
Some ancient voice does seem
To whisper my forgotten name weakly, yet solemnly.

So remotely that one night think
It had been but a dream,
Echo of some illusive call of fleeting memory.
Yes, to believe such vain idea
No problem it would be,
If there was not this inscrutable unrest within me...
As if out of the deepest sea
Some creature seeks to rise,
To wish its long denied existence back into my life.

My secret name is whispered by,
By a half-forgotten sigh
And out of nothing, across my face,
Which is all petrified,
Hot tears are running without end.
A deeply troubling pain
Pulls me together inwardly, to be no more the same...
From far beyond the veil of sleep
Some tune, ne'er before heard,
Is trav'lling on a fragile breath,
To shake my frozen world.
