Rollo, Der Wikinger Lyrics
Torfrock
Lyrics
Lacrimosa
Inferno
Kabinett Der Sinne
Zuruck aus der Unsterblichkeit
Wieder Zuhause
Und wieder Mensch
Die Erde gekusst
Und die Welt geatmet
Meine Augen - die Augen gehen über
Das Verlangen hat mich wieder
Ich lebe
Im Kabinett der Sinne bin ich wieder erwacht
Zu meiner Linken ein alter Mann
Zu meiner Rechten eine Gottin zungelnder Lust
Dem Schimmer grunen Blickes
Ein strahlendes Weiss
Und verzicht
Dunkelheit fallt uber uns
Zu ihr ich traume
Sie will meine Hoffnung
Sie will Licht
Sie will ewig leben
Sie will Licht
Sie will ihre Wahrheit
Sie will Licht
Sie will ewig leben
Sie will Licht
Aus dem Schein der Sonne ist sie entflohen
Mit flammenden Schwingen in die Nacht gesturzt
Auf den Klippen hat sie uber das Meer gewacht
Und zuruck zu den Sternen gedeutet
Gleich am ersten Tag dem Glanz erlegen
Und zuletzt mich in den Sand gelegt
Back from immortality
At home again
A person again
The earth is kissed
And the air is breathed
My eyes - my eyes are open
Desire has me once again
I am living
I woke up again in the cabinet of feelings
On my left, an old man
On my right, a goddess of sumptuous desire
The shimmer of a green glance
A glowing white
And renunciation
Darkness fails over us
I am dreaming of her
She wants my hope
She wants light
She wants eternal life
She wants light
She wants her truth
She wants light
She wants eternal life
She wants life
She has flown from the rays of the sun
Fled into the night with blazing wings
Look over the sea of the cliffs
Expounding back to the stars
Succumbing to the radiance on the very first day
And finally laid me on the sand.
