The lonely rose keeps on crying in my hands,
The hands that transformed all life into oblivion…
The lonely tear slides down my cheek,
The tear of a being that is rotten though still living on…
Feared once was I to lose my path
Below the source of post-earthly darkness
Feared once was I find the light
Deep beneath the blackest caverns of disgust
To reach my goal and find the way…
To attain the universal supremacy —
The one concealed inside my mind…
To start my journey at it’s end
I cast aside my senses, those I will never feel…
Sensations that were mine
Leave me be and stray away
The love I’ve never felt, the hate I usually beheld…
Don’t look upon me as I’m the leper man,
Turn away and don’t cast a glance at me
… my precious demon of delight, imprisoned in my hellish den…
Don’t pare my wings, for how then will I float above the nightly shores?
I rise above and dive below,
I crawl beneath and creep within.
I am the servant to the masters and emperor of bleeding sheep,
I am the one who is, and who is not.
Enshrouded with gloom becomes the luminary,
I unite with the one it was conquered by —
The eclipse glowing in the utter grimness of the dusk
Although it fades away so fast I could only tearlessly sigh…
