Sopor Aeternus - Consider this: the true meaning of love - instrumental version lyrics

Can I trust you, mortal boy? You say, you love me - oh, sure you do - But what exactly does this affirmation mean? I do not have the slightest notion No idea of what you understand by "love" And other terms as worn-out Such as this old song and dance You call romance Quite different flowers grow indeed In my small semantic garden ... - So, let us see, if your good vow Is more than just some chemical imbalance Is it worth the air you breathe Or will it be just another waste of time with you? What I call "Love, precious and true" Would you refer to this as sin Or crime and all that silly crap? Now, let me put you to the test: "I love you so much, dearest dear That I would die for you, right now, right here!" Sure, doing this you're sitting pretty But I say: piss on it Because this way is far too easy !!! But: do you also have the strength To be there for me till the end? Would you have courage, live for me Respect my wishes, my decree? Would you defend me against the world Fight the doctors playing God Slap the priests, if they came near Or anyone who interferes ?!? Is the version of your Love as true That you would use all means within your power Just to meet the urgent plea That solemn, final wish for dying Of a helpless her or him Who lies in pain, who's suffering Now only begging for the end ... so tell me!! Is your "Love" that of a true friend? If I lay crying in my bed Waiting, no longing for the end If I decide my time has come Would you then be that trustful one To guard this chamber, break this shell And free me from this living hell By making sure my d**h is swift Would you grant me that sacred gift?!? Now that you've heard it, let me know: Are you that willing to let go ?!? Say: would you do all this for me Would you respect my wishes, my dignity? Because that's what LOVE means to me !!!
