[ti:in one hour]
[ar:Sopor Aeternus]

[00:16.26]In one hour
[00:27.12]Sopor Aeternus
[00:46.45]In einer dunklen Stunde ach
[00:53.46]alle Stunden sind dunkel hier
[01:00.44]Aus einem Becher von zartestem Flieder
[01:06.26]trinken wir Tee allein mit mir
[01:13.32]
[01:30.42]My name is BROKEN CHALICE and leaden I am filled
[01:36.66]all the way up to the  brim
[01:44.03]filled with sadness, and with misery
[01:50.21]and the most terrible of things
[01:57.33]Very soon I might overflow I fear
[02:03.38]as I am filled with so much anger
[02:06.57]and far too many tears
[02:10.98]
[02:18.65]These words come
[02:21.51]from the depth of my discontent
[02:24.72]to testify to you of the displeasure that I harbour against
[02:31.30]the worldand therefore myself.
[02:34.23]Hush, here lies truth, sweet child, in all its obvious simplicity.
[02:44.01]A long time ago it seems
[02:47.25]the boy has come to an agreement
[02:51.28]with  himself to remain in this wretched life for as long as it hasn
[02:56.91]reached the point of becoming totally unbearable.
[03:03.89]Yes, he was prepared to tolerate
[03:07.02]the bleakness of all things,
[03:09.63]of darkness, even nothingness itself,
[03:13.06]all  of this perhaps only to prove that life really isn worth an effort,
[03:20.40]that  an early VOLUNTARY DEATH is absolutely ALWAYS justified.
[03:36.16]Yes, I DO confess.
[03:42.30]I have a secret wish:
[03:47.14]I often dream of dying, to dissolve  completely
[03:54.50]to simply vanish, so that nothing, not a single grain
[04:04.91]would ever remain of me
[04:08.56]No spark, no energy, no further existence for me
[04:17.30]but most of all:  NO REBIRTH
[04:24.14]Alas, if I had this chance
[04:27.68]this possibility
[04:31.52]how free from worries could I be
[04:37.10]if I only had this ONE guarantee that there would be NO MORE tomorrows
[04:49.80]lying in wait for me
