Der Tanz Der Schatten

Theatre of Tragedy Theatre of Tragedy

The Dance of Shadows

Nevertheless you have hidden your eyes
(My eyes are so dark)
A glimmer of light behind the darkness, a light that
(Also the visions are black, black as the night)
Has shown me that you are filled with fear
(The twilight state of humanity)
Please tell me why you carry this fear within you
(Is my time of existence)

(I am so alone
Loneliness in eternity
Thoughts only for me
With the shadow I whisper
With the shadow I dance
Alone I wander
I crave the blood
Dance of death)

Do not dance with the shadow anymore
(To receive the deadly kiss)
Please never dance
(Follow the darkness into nothingness)
Over the grave
(Sweet nectar on your lips)
Dance with me the waltz of Lucifer
(A trickle of blood-moist life)
I long for your love
(I lick the love from your face)
To become darkness
(I lick the hate from your face)

(Such an intoxicating feeling)
Forever and infinite
(Tasting my bitter existence)
I am a confidant of yours

Let me welcome your kiss
The self-destructive kiss

(Give yourself to me
I was filled with sorrow)

Until I die, embrace me
(I was so inconsolable)
And I will rise again
(But you have ignited love)

I love you
