Tempelschlaf Lyrics


Kissing the temple floor

I taste the salt of night

Dissolve me forever

Offer your dragon claws

And lead my haunted mind so safely through the ivory gate

God of light

Some stranger darkness murmurs here

But I'm hidden well and lost all earthly bonds

God of light

Will you expel these doubts from me

And bury them deep below the Asphodel fields...

Serpent voices breathing harm into me

I can tell from the trembling of the temple walls

End my sleep, end the twisted ecstacy

I can see the void in your eyes that withered all our delight

Answer me, grant me endless ecstacy

Have me bathe in your teary eyes and wash me for the purest night

God of light

Some stranger darkness murmurs here

But I'm hidden well and lost all earthly bonds

Goddess of night

Lock me inside these bloodstained chambers

Never to return into the light
