The light of our life begins to fade

You are gone and I am alone

And our portrait by light betrayed

And all those things that we shared

Are now to eternal rest laid

I am your passion

Your slowing colour

Your heart unbeating

Your heart never beaten

(for me)

You were my opera

And I was your phantom

Forever was I bound

To your palace, so beautiful

But you never learned to understand me

Not my pain nor my agony

It was heavenly love I sought for

But I only discovered ruin and emptiness

And now I feel like I am

In love with an angel

But married to a whore
