Текст песни Little Velveteen Knight - Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows
Infants
like
phantoms,
denied
and
suspected,
their
existence
discovered
always
when
least
expected.
Prepared
for
the
day,
the
knight,
he
just
cannot
keep
the
perfect
mask
in
its
place,
when
he
is
falling
asleep.
Faces
slacken
in
slum
ber,
each
rigid
muscle
relaxes,
without
warning
the
hidden
child
comes
to
the
surface.
From
the
deepest
darkness,
some
unnameable
place,
of
the
tower
inverted,
forms
a
different
face;
climbing
upwards
with
effort,
to
see
through
the
eyes.
.-
windows
to
the
soul
-now
shut-
are
starring
inside.
And
while
the
outside
beholder
sees
the
face
of
a
child,
this
fearful
and
helpless
infant
turns
to
a
wild
beast
inside:
becomes
the
architect
of
the
most
terrible
dreams
and
puts
a
crue
l
fears
of
death
into
our
hero's
sleep...
This
child
is
a
dragon,
who
you
must
strive
to
kill,
though
it
defeated
you
once
...
and,
yes,
it
always
will!
Oh,
little
velveteen
knight
(and
heroes
of
all
kinds),
endeavour
to
slay
the
dragon...
(...
and
yourselves
when
you
try)!
Yes,
this
monster's
immortal
...
and
your
fight
is
in
vain,
it
only
will
last
forever,
some
monsters
just
cannot
be
slain.
This
infant's
beast
...,
and
the
dragon's
its
guardian,
protecting
his
child,
so
that
no-one
can
harm
it,
their
most
gruesome
s
hape
puts
the
fear
of
death
into
our
supposed
(but
velveteen)
hero;
yet,
you
must
get
me
right:
there
is
no
choice
for
the
child,
its
intentions
are
good
and
always
upright.
Tell
me,
why
do
you
from?
Do
you
bear
questions
...
or
doubt?
Have
you
not
recognised
that
both,
dragon
and
child,
are
in
face
more
than
kin...-
they
represent
the
same
thing!
And
all
our
characters
that
you
will
see
or
seem
are
merely
part
of
the
dreamer
...
and
therefore
the
dream.
