XLVI

THIS ONE IS A ZOROASTRIAN GESTURE
YOU DO IT TOWARDS THE LIGHT
IF THE FIRE IS HERE THEN HERE
WHEREVER THE FIRE IS

IT'S AGAIN HER  IT'S AGAIN HER
BECAUSE ON THE WEBSITE WHERE I WAS SAVING MY MUSICS FROM
FOR FREE MP3'S
THERE WERE A LOT OF SOPOR AETERNUS
THIS IS SOPOR AETERNUS
AND THERE WERE A LOT OF SOPOR AETERNUS UPLOADED THERE
THAT YOU COULD STEAL THEM

STEAL THEM AS YOU CALL IT
OR DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CALL IT  DOWNLOAD
IT'S KIND OF SYNONYM, PARTLY SYNONYM, TO THEFT
THE SITUATION IS PURE CHAOS
SO IT'S ALL MESSED UP NOW
LARA-RIM  TARALARARAM

&

I DON'T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS  THAT'S THE NEXT ONE
I DON'T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS
NO WE'RE NOT GONNA ANALYSE SOPOR ATERENUS
AS A PERSON, NOR HER MUSIC
NOR THE CONCEPT OF THE ENSEMBLE OF SHADOWS
JUST HAVE IT AS A BACKGROUND

LET'S GET BACK TO THE FIRE
SO THE WAY SHE'D REACH THE FIRE IS THIS
AND YOU DON'T CATCH THE FIRE LIKE THAT
THE PROMETHEAN WAY IS UPWARDS FIRST OF ALL
FIRST OF ALL YOU CATCH THE FIRE FROM UPWARDS
PERSIANS  THE PERSIANS
THE PERSIANS  NOT THE ARABS 
THE PERSIANS - THEY ARE NOT ARABS
KNEW IT

&

SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THEFT
THAT THE VALUE SYSTEM HAS PROFOUNDLY CHANGED
BY THIS FILE-SHARING OPTION GIVEN TO MANKIND
DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ACHIEVEMENT OR IT'S GOOD OR BAD
INDEED I HAVE NO IDEA  JUST HAVE NO IDEA

SHE'S USING EVERY TECHNIQUE
ELECTRONICS TO OLD FOLK ELEMENTS
PLUS THIS THEATRICAL THING
ONE DAY MY PRINCE WILL COME

&

EVERYONE IS DOING HIS OWN JOB
I HAVE TO IMPOSE MINE ON THE WORK OF OTHERS
BECAUSE I CAN'T EXIST - BECAUSE I'M NOT CREATING
I CANNOT CREATE
I CAN ADAPT MYSELF BUT I CANNOT CREATE
THAT'S THE MISUNDERSTANDING

HHAAA THIS SUFFOCATION SUFFOCATES ME 
SUFFOCATION SUFFOCATES ME

OH BABY BABY BABY
YOU MAKE IT SO EASY  YOU MAKE IT SO EASY DARLING
THAT'S WHAT I HATE IN YOU SOPOR AETERNUS
THAT YOU MAKE SUFFER SEEM BEARABLE
IT'S A DANGER  DANGEROUS

&

WHEN SHE SPEAKS IN THE MALE VOICE
THAT'S THE BEST PART IN IT ALL
IT'S ALTOGETHER VERY GOOD EVERYWHERE
BUT MOST I LIKE THIS  WHEN HE IS USING THE MALE VOICE
NOT SIMULATING ANY MORE
IT'S CLOSER TO THE REAL SUFFER - BECAUSE IT'S MORE NATURAL

NATURAL IS THE HARDEST
ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN BE EASIER THAN NATURAL
WHEN ALL THESE COMPLEXES ARE BUILT UPON
THE BODILY PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOUR
IT'S VERY HARD TO BE NATURAL
BECAUSE YOU LOSE YOUR NATURE
WHAT IS YOUR NATURE ANYWAYS
THANK GOD YOU'RE NOT NATURAL

&

THIS IS A SONG FROM THE SAME RECORD
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GHOST?
SHE KNOWS IT VERY EXACTLY WHERE THE DANGER IS
USUALLY  AS IT HAS TO BE  AS IT SHOULD BE IS
THAT THE SECRET IS BEHIND THE MASK
SO YOU WEAR A MASK  AND WHAT IS BEHIND IT
THAT'S MUCH MORE INTERESTING

BUT IN HER CASE AND IN MANY OTHER CASES
WHEN YOU LET THE MASK FALL
THEN BEHIND THE MASK THERE IS LESS  THERE IS LESS
IT'S NOT SO INTERESTING AS THE MASK WAS

&

OH OH OH  IT'S CALLED POWDER - WHAT POWDER
LIKE THREE THINGS COME TO YOUR MIND WHAT POWDER
EITHER DRUG OR MAKE-UP OR GUN
TARALA-RARARAM

NO, THIS IS A GOOD TRIANGLE
DRUG, MAKE-UP AND GUN
THE PERFECT TRIANGLE, ISN'T IT
NNA, SO WHAT ARE YOU ARGUING ABOUT
IT'S TOO POP FOR YOU  IT'S TOO POP
OOO AAA  

HOW GREAT HER MUSIC IS
IT'S GREAT
THAT'S THE ONLY WORD FOR IT

WHAT IS IT
OF COURSE IT'S  THEATRICAL MEDIEVAL NEOFOLK
T-T-T-TRA-TRA-TRAVESTY  TRAVESTY 
IT'S A TRAVESTY  THAT'S IT
HIS MUSIC IS A TRAVESTY AND THAT'S WHAT IT IS
SHE IS TOTALLY IDENTICAL

SHE IS A WARFARE  
WARFARE OF HARMONY - THAT KIND OF GODDESS
WARFARE OF HARMONY  MAYBE HARMONY ITSELF
A MUSE

&

I CAN'T LISTEN - IF I LISTEN I DON'T HEAR
THAT'S PRETTY DEFECTED, ISN'T IT

ISN'T IT STRANGE  SUCH A STRANGE EMBODIMENT
EMBODIMENT - WHERE IS THE BODY
EMBODIMENT WITHOUT A BODY
YOU NEED EVIDENCE
AND ALSO YOU NEED GUARANTEE
THAT YOU'RE NOT SO BREAKABLE

I'M STILL I'M BREAKABLE - I CANNOT RISK
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN PRAYING FOR THE WARRANTY
I'M STILL PRAYING FOR THE WARRANTY
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO WITHOUT IT
AND IF YOU NEVER GIVE IT TO ME
I WILL NEVER DO A THING

&

THIS IS THE HALT GESTURE - GESTURE OF HALT

OH THE FUCKING JEW
OOH THE FUCKING JEW
OHH OH OH  THE FUCKING JEW
FUCKING JEW  OH OH OH

NO NO NO NO NO NO
THAT'S THE NEGATOR'S ANTHEM, RIGHT
THE ANTHEM OF THE NEGATOR
THAT'S HOW WE WILL INTRODUCE

WHEN THE NEGATOR COMES IN THE OPERETTA
THAT'S HOW WE WILL INTRODUCE IT

&

WE'LL CUT IT OUT ALL
WE'LL CUT IT OUT ALL AND LIE
LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE
OH I HAVE A DEEP RESPECT  SINCE I AM THE CHIEF LIAR
YES, IF NOTHING ELSE I AM CHIEF
I'M THE CHIEF LIAR - THAT MUCH I SURELY AM
NOT A GREAT THIEF BUT THE TRUEST LIAR

THIS MEDIEVAL MARCH
GUILTY PLEASURE, NO
SOPOR AETERNUS IS NOT GUILTY PLEASURE
SOPOR AETERNUS IS PURE PLEASURE

THESE SONGS ARE MORE MILITANT
NO BUT IT'S A HIDDEN MILITANCY OF COURSE
BECAUSE IT PUTS IT BEHIND THE MEDIEVAL COSTUME  MASK
AND THEN YOU KNOW THAT IT'S NOT IT

SHE IS A WAGNER FAN
BUT EVEN THAT VERY MODERATELY
SHE'S VERY MODERATE - THAT'S THE MOST TYPICAL OF HER
DOESN'T GO FARTHER THAN HERSELF
BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT'S BELONGING
TO THE POP CULTURE OF HELL
THE POP CULTURE OF HELL 

&

ANGEL OF THE GOLDEN FOUNTAIN
I MUST AGREE  I AGREE
IT COULDN'T BE MORE BEAUTIFUL  OH
YOU MUST KNOW VERY PRECISELY
AND SHE'S OBSCURE ABOUT IT
THAT WHAT DO YOU USE BEAUTY FOR

ANGEL OF THE GOLDEN FOUNTAIN
TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE 
ANGEL OF THE GOLDEN FOUNTAIN
AND YOU SEE IT  YOU SEE IT IN BAROQUE
THESE KIND OF THINGS WE ALL SEE IN BAROQUE
GOLDEN BROWN

WATER, HOWEVER, IS TRANSPARENT
WATER IS ALWAYS TRANSPARENT  
CLEAN WATER IS TRANSPARENT

&

IT'S ENOUGH TO KNOW THE BASICS  JUST CATCH
AND THEN YOU SEE WHO IS THE ANGEL OF THE GOLDEN FOUNTAIN

YOU SEE THE ENTIRE SCENERY - THAT'S POETRY
POETRY PAINTS 
POETRY IS VERBAL PAINTING

THE STATE OF POETRY IS THIS:
LOOKING THROUGH WATER
INTO THE FIRE
AND TRYING TO STEAL IT OVER

&

HOW MUCH I GET FOR THIS
BECAUSE YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT I AM WITHOUT A CENT RIGHT NOW
I REALLY HAVE NOT A GUESS
HOW I WILL SURVIVE TOMORROW
IN THE ARMS OF MISERY, MALADY AND MADNESS

OSH - RA - TA
