Baptisma - Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows

Shivering with awe and delight

Here is my throat I said

As I bowed my head in silence to him

Behold my white flesh shining in the velvet darkness

Take me now and I will be

Yes I will be yours forever

Take me now and I will be

Yes I will be yours forever

There I stood bare and willing

As the blood my blood was streaming

Down my naked body my naked body

Gushing out of the wounds

Enfeebled I was sinking to the floor

Gushing out of the wounds

Enfeebled I was sinking to the floor

Cold I thought so cold the stones

Colder I'll be soon

Cold I thought so cold the stones

Colder I'll be soon

Still not enough still not enough

This is the moment my beautiful beloved one

The time has come to send your farewell to the sin

To cross the threshold and leave all these mortal dregs behind

You shall be flesh of my flesh and blood of my blood

Flesh of my flesh and blood of my blood

Let me take what you have to give

Let me take and you shall receive

Let me take what you have to give

Let me take and you shall receive

Feel the beat of my dead heart

Feel the beat of my heart and drink as I have done

Drink my beautiful beloved one

A new flower in the ancient bouquet

Another rose in the garden of darkness

That will never see the day

That will never see the day

That will never see the day
