Oh, angel of my winter Grieveth for the pain of sadness A gothic embrace restores my love God took away Ye romance of forgotten times In eras without the Sun An ocean of tears I see A nightfall of dreams caresses me Thou wert, thou art, thou shalt forever be Ye nightshade of thy sorrow Stretching out in twilights beauty In love with ye thousands of nights But weeping in silence, in ebony For melancholy, forever, forever! Jesus Christ walks the Earth, a pitiful shade of God A cruel conspiracy for the sake of slavery And He drags us down to the plague of humanity Set us free! I've killed my holiness Killed my emptiness! I'm fallen from God Fallen from guilt! I've abandoned the light The light that blinded so long! Free from submission But still under His spell We're in pain, pain, pain! Sorrow turns to anguish And I scream with hate at the tyrant above! Hosanna de profundis Arcana imperii Salva me, libera me! Gothic Moon, ablazeth the eventide so sonorous Ye solemn of a lovelorn garden of crimson souls All true beauty is sad, but lost within the clenched hands of God Lost within the clenched hands of God We are like dying embers; we are fallen leaves As long as Thy power is seated on Heaven's throne The false righteousness in Thy glory's name Forever shall I grieve! I mourn that the night passes us by Let there be an eternal night, eternal night!
