samael - 'till we meet again... lyrics

to those whom i miss,
and to those who would miss me

life is short, but long in the living
going forth on the uncertain paths of the future
seeking an outlet, a path, in vein

there where that tunnel so familiar
and that wall banishing the light
stifling forever the hope of better day

curs'd be she who gave me birth
prisoner of life, i await my deliverance
i am weary of the struggle for chimeras
of sensing the weight of time, past and future

i began my descent as from that first day
this night shall be mine, that of the great leap
there will be a war, a key, a door

faced with the dilemma of the cord
short are the paths which lead to the tomb

drunk with eternity i topple the chair beneath my feet
the phobia of the infinite is speedily replaced by darkness

this profound and absolute darkness
which i have dreamed of for so long
