Helvetia Sexualis - Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows (永恒沉睡)

What is

Is a game for scholars

So it was sheer necessity

Nothing but chance that

For reasons hidden to the world

Has led the two sould here

Made them equal like dog and owner

Annoyed but neutral spend the night

Sharing the same bed they did slumber

Beneath two blankets side by side

It makes no difference to explain

How it all came to this

'Cause what if is a game for scholars

Approve and seal it with a kiss

It makes no difference to explain

How it all came to this

'Cause what if is a game for scholars

Approve and seal it with a kiss

Quickly erasing your lust all we inspire is disgust

But then of course you can never be sure

And that's the ghost that's haunting you

Familiar causes made me shiver

Mainly with chill this foetus coiled

Apologies did only soothe his anger

But explainations could not avoid

Him windown down the ancient form

The spell of insecurity

That liturgy which cruelly pointed out

The difference between him and me

I can't be bothered to explain

How it all comes to this

Because all causes are "familiar"

Accept and seal it with a kiss

The larch and not the morning-cock

Beheld two spoons our cook had graced

And as our hero woke he found

His left arm still around my waist

He rose and I the ugly child

Born of the shadow sphere

Allowed my thoughts to briefly travel

To a world to far from here

Where it's the cock that greets the morning

And piles have meanings unlike their faces here

But what if is a game for scholars not baby

So try your best now to hide the tears

He said as he walked to the bathroom:

"I am not at all like you "

"Well I don't have the slightest idea

What you could possibly be referring to

But rest assure man because whatever

This most dreadful thing might be

Be sure that our difference is more than obvious

To the world outside and me "

Quickly erasing your lust all we inspire is disgust

But then of course you can never be sure

And that's the face that's frightening you

I can't be bothered to explain how it all came to this

'Cause what if is a game for scholars

And it's called:
