Lyrics: When a woman weeps while the heaven’s bleeding She’s setting traps, with her sorrow’s tear Dismal way to heavens, if she will surrender When the Reaper’s dreaming of my slumber sins While the sinner’s reaping echoes of your dreams When the man will kiss the soles of her feet She’ll give to Charon the sign of his creed A kiss to honour that she’s worth of sinning When the Reaper’s leaving the world in abyss While the lover’s pleading for a world of dreams Love’s conquering death, let me yield to love Let me sink in passion, when nothing remains As today I’m ready, to embrace the faith Of my lover’s shadow, of my dreaming lover Lurking in the twilight, she was but an echo Crawling out her madness, above of distress One last drop of umbrage, feeding thorns of bliss Falling through the waves Praying to myself Falling through the aeons Yet there’s nothing left Love’s conquering death, let me yield to love Let me sink in passion, when nothing remains As today I’m ready, to embrace the faith Of my lover’s shadow, of my dreaming lover She was but an echo, I was but her voice Mortals due to nature, none of us regret All the longing moments, flesh leaving our bones Life is but an instant, yet we yield to love...
