What I've become will never show As death shrouds my soul A dead leaf in the autumn wind That mimics a careless stroll For I am still at bay Neither alive nor dead Blinded as I stare Oh how I long to join them there A thousand tears and a thousand hours In a tomb never blessed Contorted limbs reach the clouds To shadow my limbs at rest Utterly old, bleak and cold Like a ghoul vaguely heard Although my vision is crystal clear My sight seems all blurred Let my path be sacrosanct Sacrosanct Eternal black and sacrosanct Forever sacrosanct To veil my wicked sense I close myself in a deathlike dream Within the silence of immense Lies a turmoil that twists and screams As long as the night lies ahead I shall extol the dead For they have found the mirror brave Where black is white and night is day So bless my soul and bless my ways But don't utter any words Because II seek neither light nor day But the darkest of all worlds Sacrosanct be my dream Sacrosanct and black Now the mirror opens and invites me there Never to go back Let my path be sacrosanct Sacrosanct Eternal black and sacrosanct Forever sacrosanct Let my path be sacrosanct Through the night eternal Sacrosanct Through silence nocturnal Eternal black and sacrosanct Let the darkness be my guide Forever sacrosanct Now the mirror opens wide
