Songtexte Obsession - Susanna

Great woods, your winds oppress me like the heft
Of great cathedral organs; and our hearts
Shaken with dying groans, are echo chambers
Vaults where your "De Profundis" still vibrates

I hate you, ocean, all your bounding tumults
I find within: the bitter laughter of
A man defeated, all his sobs and insults
I hear resounding in the sea's vast laugh

How you would please me, Night, without those stars
Whose light speaks in a language that I know?
I only seek what's empty, black and bare
But darkness is itself a canvas where
My eyes project a thousand vanished souls
Who look at me with a familiar air, air
