[ti:Consider this: the true Meaning of Love] [ar:Sopor Aeternus] [al:Sanatorium Altrosa] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Consider this: the true Meaning of Love - Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows (永恒沉睡) [00:30.99]Can I trust you mortal boy [00:35.27] [00:36.60]You say you love me oh sure you do [00:42.47]But what exactly does this affirmation mean [00:47.28]I do not have the slightest notion [00:51.11] [00:51.77]No idea of what you understand by"love" [00:57.10]And other terms as worn-out [00:59.47]Such as this old song and dance [01:03.52]You call romance [01:06.50]Quite different flowers grow indeed [01:12.57]In my small semantic garden [01:17.11]So let us see if your good vow [01:23.03]Is more than just some chemical imbalance [01:29.93] [01:30.91]Is it worth the air you breathe [01:34.45] [01:35.14]Or will it be just another waste of time with you [01:41.26] [01:42.49]What I call"Love precious and true" [01:48.47]Would you refer to this as sin [01:51.48]Or crime and all that silly crap [01:54.56] [02:00.11]Now let me put you to the test: [02:04.53] [02:05.92]How often have I heard these words: [02:08.98]"I love you so much dearest dear [02:12.58]That I would die for you right now right here" [02:17.84]Sure doing this they're sitting pretty [02:20.91]But I say: piss on it [02:23.63] [02:24.56]Because this way is far too easy [02:29.84]But: do you also have the strength [02:32.89]To be there for me till the end [02:36.29]Would you have courage live for me [02:38.85]Respect my wishes my decree [02:42.00]Would you defend me against the world [02:45.16]Fight the doctors playing God [02:48.06]Slap your priests if they came near [02:51.05]Or anyone who interferes [02:54.48] [03:43.62]Is the version of your Love as true [03:46.95]That you would use all means within your power [03:50.69]Just to meet the urgent plea [03:53.35]That solemn final wish for dying [03:56.39]Of a helpless her or him [03:59.61]Who lies in pain who's suffering [04:02.30]Now only begging for the end [04:05.31] [04:06.67]Is your"Love" that of a true friend [04:09.34] [04:18.00]If I lay crying in my bed [04:20.77]Waiting no longing for the end [04:23.60]If I decide my time has come [04:26.44]Would you then be that trustful one [04:29.11]To guard this chamber break this shell [04:31.87]And free me from this living hell [04:34.90]By making sure my death is swift [04:37.68]Would you grant me that sacred gift [04:39.96] [04:56.98]Now that you've heard it let me know: [05:04.79]Are you then willing to let go [05:11.06]Say: would you do all this for me [05:17.51]Would you respect my wishes my dignity [05:23.07]Because that's what LOVE means to me
