Engelsstaub - Phantasmagoria lyrics

From times immemorial I lived in darkness, in blooming silence. Eyes - only able to see in darkness, ears - only able to hear the beat of my heart. My senses are dead. Eternal darkness - eternal silence - dreamless sleep. I roused up by an unfamiliar thought: flared up pictures had died like falling stars. My hope for light rushed through my body. An unknown but warm voice cut the dull silence: words which never would open my closed lips. Weally, I noticed a pale face but full of life and with a painful expression. I foresaw its tears which never would find their way to freedom. For this long time I had been on my own but who was this transparent statue? I was able to see with its eyes and able to hear with its ears. I felt with its senses... I absorbed its thoughts and dreams to live there in. But as soon as sleep had left me I was alone again, nearer to d**h than before. One feeling remained, my yearning for breaking out of this darkness to float in radiant light to understand the spoken words after all. I wanted to conquer the regions of light and tone. Therefore I would fight. I would cut off the veil of darkness with my beholding eyes. With my hearing ears I would force the silence to scream.Then the spell would be broken and I would be free. Now - in the distance I already can see the light and hear the gentle voice that tempt me. I walk towards, try to touch it... Finally, I step out from this world into this light. As I reach the source of light and tone I see the pale face with eyes full of life, I listen to the words. I'm not alone any longer. But... It's my mirage.
