Rose

For endless years and years
Now I roam the outer void
And the boring same old games
Are meaninglessly repeated
All my wealth and energy
Insufficient substitutes for a life
That I exchanged for a desire
That never will be satisfied
(lead — Mai)
I spin my net, in a sinister black
So monstrous, my degeneration
Where the careless gain sorrow
And all their greed brings pain
Invisible for the ungifted
And doomed by my darkness
I take their material legacy
And defile their fragile mortality
Solitude feeds my fatal lust
Vast deadly traps are hidden
Raped by the light of the rose
I teach them in devotion
All these harmless victims
Their fight without prospects
Finalizing my supremacy
And a welcome to my isolation
Then raise my pride
My insidious bride
Narcotising my emptiness
By a senseless eagerness
And the hungry teeth of time devour
What I used to be in ancient past
And decades flow into the void
To bring up this stiff monument
