Phantom
Sanguis et Cinis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eines Tages bin ich das Phantom
eines Tages wirst du an mich denken
als stilles Geheimnis in den Schatten
du wirst von mir träumen
und dir wünschen meine Stimme zu hören
die kältesten Nächte
wirst du unsere Straßen entlanglaufen
um mich nicht zu finden
nur um es doch versucht zu haben
Du wirst frieren wenn Du Dir wünscht
ich wäre in Deiner Nähe
verblasster Romeo im Morgentau
in alten Bildern wirst Du ersticken
und Dich plötzlich an mich erinnern
meine Worte werden sich in Deinem Kopf überschlagen
und Du schließt die Augen
nur um mich zu sehen
doch je mehr Du mich verlierst
desto näher bin ich Dir
wo auch immer Du mich suchst
ich bin schon da
als das Phantom Deiner verborgendsten Sehnsucht
was Du niemandem erzählst
ich bin es
Du weißt es
sieh in Dein Herz

and when you awake from your pride
you will look into your heart
and when you awake from your pride




you will remember me
find me
