Totale Finsternis English translation
von Jim Steinman

Ancestors:

Be ready!
Sarah:

Sometimes at night
I feel lonely and sad,
But I don't know what I'm missing.
Ancestors:

Be ready!
Sarah:

Sometimes at night
I have fantastic dreams,
But when I wake up
I am tormented by fear.
Ancestors:

Be ready!
Sarah:


Sometimes at night
I lie in the dark and wait,
But what I'm waiting for, I'm not sure.
Ancestors:

Be ready!
Sarah:

Sometimes in the night
I feel the irresistible temptation,
Of a dark danger.
Ancestor:

Be ready, star child...
Sarah:

I hear a voice calling me.
Ancestors:

Be ready, star child...
Sarah:

I can hear a voice...
Ancestor:

Be ready!
Sarah:


Sometimes in the night
I feel the power of a spell,
That touches me invisibly.
Ancestors:

Be ready!
Sarah:

Sometimes in the night
I am so helpless and wish
Someone would come to guide me
And protect me.
Ancestors:

Be ready!
Sarah:

Sometimes at night
I can't wait any longer,
I finally want to be a woman and free.
Ancestor:

Be ready!
Sarah:

Sometimes at night
I want to experience the forbidden,
And I don't care about the consequences.
Ancestor:

Be ready, star child...
Sarah:

I hear a voice calling me.
Ancestor:

Be ready, star child...
Sarah:

I feel a longing that seeks me...
To lose yourself is to free yourself.
You will recognize yourself in me.
What you dream of will be the truth.
Nothing and no one can separate us.
Dive into the darkness with me!
Between abyss and illusion,
Let's burn the doubts and forget the time.
I'll wrap you in my shadow
And carry you far.
You are the miracle that
Reconciles with reality.
Sarah:

My heart is dynamite,
That longs for a spark.
Von Krolock and Sarah:
I have come to life!
Eternity begins tonight.
Eternity begins tonight.
Sarah:

I have longed for it,
To lose my heart.
Now I'm almost losing my mind.
Total darkness.
A sea of feeling and no land.
Once I thought,
Love breaks the spell.
Now it's about to shatter my world.
Total darkness.
I'm falling and there's nothing to hold me.
Ancestors:

Be ready!
Sarah:

Sometimes at night
I think I'd better flee from you
While I still can.
Ancestor:

Be ready!
Sarah:

But then you call for me,
I'm ready to follow you blindly.
I would even go to hell
With you.
Ancestors:

Be ready!
Sarah:

Sometimes in the night
I would give my life
For a moment,
In which I am all yours.
Ancestors:

Be ready!
Sarah:

Sometimes in the night
I want to be what you want me to be,
And when I destroy myself.
Ancestor:

Be ready, star child...
Sarah:

I hear a voice calling me.
Ancestor:

Be ready, star child...
Sarah:

I feel a longing that seeks me.
Von Krolock and Sarah:
To lose yourself is to free yourself.
You will recognize yourself in me.
What you dream of will be truth.
Nothing and no one can separate us.
Dive into the darkness with me!
Between abyss and illusion
Let's burn the doubts and forget the time.
I'll wrap you in my shadow
And carry you far.
From Krolock:

You are the miracle that
Reconciles with reality.

My heart is dynamite,
That longs for a spark.

I have come to life!
Eternity begins tonight.
Eternity begins tonight.

To lose my heart.
Now I'm almost losing my mind.

Total darkness.
A sea of emotion and no land.
Sarah:

Once I thought,
Love breaks the spell.
Von Krolock:

Now she's about to break your world.
Von Krolock and Sarah:
Total darkness.
We fall, and nothing to hold us.
Total darkness.
A sea of feeling and no land.
Sarah:

Total darkness!
I think I'm losing my mind...
