The echo of an angel Who's weeping tears of desire Illusion casts my dying shadow I simply must possess you I simply must possess you No law can keep me from you I will hunt you, I will find you I will take you for my own An echo of a memory And a world that shuns my shape There's no place on earth for my bones There's no room in heaven for my music Last kiss goodnight She is my elegant decay I am older than your sun I am older than the stars Essence of my soul lives on in everyone I am older than your sun I am older than the stars Essence of my soul lives on in everyone The echo of her beauty It's long since pa**ed away Pearls encircle alabaster neck And a velvet pall is her d**h mask A creature singing in a lonely chapel Performing a serenade no one will hear I am older than your sun I am older than the stars Essence of my soul lives on in everyone I am older than your sun I am older than the stars Essence of my soul lives on in everyone The echo of an angel Who's weeping tears of desire Illusion casts my dying shadow I simply must possess you I am older than your sun I am older than the stars Essence of my soul lives on in everyone I am older than your sun I am older than the stars Essence of my soul lives on in everyone The dying sound of the sigh of strings My obsession, my lust Fill this deserted menagerie I simply must possess you
