Testo di 'Tabor C'alan O'itana' di Sopor Aeternus

Tabor C'alan O'itana

(My Womb is barren, but I can conceive)
I am the world that hides
The universal secret of all times,
The bearing of the empty spaces
Is the worst of all crimes.
I lived a thousand times,
I found out what it means to be believed,
The thoughts and images,
The unborn child that never was conceived.
When little worlds collide,
I'm trapped inside my embryonic cell,
And flashing memories are cast,
Out of the unsuppressable hell.
I'm strangely crucified in an inbetween dimension
That is somehow incomplete,
The rulers dwelling here have no real power,
They are stealing their strength from me.
You've got to believe me, I'm talking to you...
Well, I know, it's hard for you
To know the reason why,
And I know you'll understand more
When it's time to die.
Don't believe the life you have will be the only one,
You have to let you body sleep
To let your soul live on
I want you to listen, I'm trying to get through...
Need has given life to you
And now it's your concern,
Unseen eyes of inner life
Will make your soul return.
Still I look but not to touch
The seeds of life are sown,
The curtain of the future falls,
The secret stays unknown.
Just remember life is change
And rest is living Death,
Treat your life for what it's worth
And live for every breath.
Looking back, not lived but learned
And now I'm wondering,
here I wait and only guess
What this next life will bring...
