No-one Is There - Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows

Now and then I’m scared when I seem to forget,

How sounds become words, or even sentences

No, I don’t speak anymore, and what could I say

Since no-one is there and there’s nothing to say

So I prefer to lie in darkest silence alone

Listening to the lack of light, or sound

Or someone to talk to, for something to share

But there is no hope and no-one is there

No, no no — Not one living soul

And there’s nothing left to say

In darkness I lie, all alone by myself

Sleeping most of the time to endure the pain

I am not breathing a word

I have not spoken for weeks

And yet the mistress inside of me Is (secretly) straining her ears

But there is no-one and it seems to me at times

The every passing hour

Another word is leaving my mind

I am the mistress of loneliness

My court is deserted but I do not care

The presence of people is ugly and cold

And something I can neither want nor bare

So I prefer to lie in darkest silence alone

Listening to the lack of light, or sound

Or someone to talk to, for something to share

But there is no hope and no-one is there

No, I don’t speak anymore, and what should I say

Since no-one is there and there’s nothing to say

All is oppressive, alles ist schwer

There is no-one and no-one is there
