Dead Souls Songtext
von Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows

Hidden behind merciful shadows
Beyond this cruel daylight
Living to hunt and kill
We are the damned children of the night

Dragging our immune existence
Through thousands of centuries
And from dusk to dawn
We suffer from our immortality

Hosts contaminate our tombs
And crosses burn our skin
You can kill us a thousand times
But we′re the ones
Who will always remain
In pain
In pain

I'm the resurrection man, who steals his own corpse
And abducts himself to the beloved catacombs and vaults


After the dead lover′s kiss
You fall into a dream
But with your second birth
You're a prince in our mournful realm

By day, when a million suns
Are killing with their shine
Cold, dark crypts are saving
Me and mine

Me and mine
Me and mine
Me and mine
Me and mine

Death and decay, cadaverous smell
For us there's neither heaven, nor is there a hell
Death and decay, cadaverous smell
For us there′s neither heaven, nor is there a hell
Only the stigmata could be able to betray
The sombre existence of the former days

For us there′s neither heaven, nor is there a hell
Death and decay, cadaverous smell
For us there's neither heaven, nor is there a hell
Only the stigmata could be able to betray
The sombre existence of the former days


The sombre existence of the former days
The former days
The former days
