Текст песни Baptisma (Demo Recordig) - Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows

Shivering with awe and delight
"Here is my throat", I said
As I bowed my head in silence to him
Behold my white flesh ... shining in the velvet darkness
Take me now - and I will be - yes I will be yours forever
Take me now - and I will be - yes I will be yours forever ... -

There I stood, bare and willing,
As the blood ... my blood ... was streaming
Down this naked body ... my naked body.
Gushing out of the wounds, enfeebled I was sinking to the floor.
Gushing out of the wounds, enfeebled I was sinking to the floor.
"Cold", I thought, "so cold the stones, colder I′ll be soon!"
Still not enough, still not enough

"This is the moment, my beautiful, beloved one,
The time has come to send your farewell to the sun,
To cross the threshold and leave ... all these mortal dregs behind
You shall be flesh of my flesh ... and blood of my blood.
Flesh of my flesh ... and blood of my blood.
Let me take what you have to give,
Let me take ... and you shall receive.
Let me take what you have to give,
Let me take ... and you shall receive.
Feel the beat of my dead heart,
Feel the beat of my heart ... and drink, as I have done ... -
Drink, my beautiful, beloved one!"

A new flower in the ancient bouquet
Another rose in the garden of darkness
That will never see the day
That will never see the day
That will never see the day
