Shivering with awe and delight, "Here is my throat", I said, As I bowed my head in silence to him. Behold my white flesh Shining in the velvet darkness. Take me now and I will be, Yes, I will be yours forever... Take me now and I will be, Yes, I will be yours forever...
There I stood bare and willing; As the blood - my blood - Was streaming down this naked body, My naked body... Gushing out of the wounds, Enfeebled I was sinking to the floor. Gushing out of the wounds, Enfeebled I was sinking to the floor. "Cold", I thought, "so cold the stones... Colder I'll be soon..." "Cold", I thought, "so cold the stones... Colder I'll be soon..." Still not enough... still not enough...
This is the moment, my beautiful beloved one, The time has come, to send a farewell to the sun, To cross the threshold And leave all these mortal dregs behind. You shall be flesh of my flesh and blood of my blood... Flesh of my flesh and blood of my blood... Let me take what you have to give, Let me take and you shall receive. Let me take what you have to give, Let me take and you shall receive. Feel the beat of my dead heart... Feel the beat of my heart... And drink, as I have done, Drink, my beautiful beloved one!
A new flower in the ancient bouquet. Another rose in the garden of darkness, That will never see the day, That will never see the day...
