Tanz Der Schatten lyrics

Play by Raymond, Music by Theatre of Tragedy
"Stay still patient; wilt thou my sister of merciful troth be?
I shall attempt the halter of thy life make less tighten`d!"
"I shall climb the yew,
Will it subdue me or not!"
"Swooning emotio
ns smite my
bosom -
I have in aptness depriev`d thy eyrie
"Oh! - but ne`er alas;
Fro many another a lass -
Lodge here fore`ermore."
Dodge thither sable of yore!"
"A narrow dell hath now for me turn`d into a broad land;
A land rich with fields of the Simbelmyn?."
"Sonorous to my ears are the words
form`d by thy tongue;
Conquer me! - Waylay me! - Swathe
me `twixt thy arms!
Make me sense the wine which is
runk by queens,
"Make me sense the wine which is drunk by kings, / And let it flow white and
full in taste o`er my lips."
And let it flow red and full in taste o`ver my lips."
"A dais`d bridge o`er the ghyll,
In which a river bottomless -
I would have drown?d,
Yet thou drewest me out soaking!"
"Save thou art not yet all parch?d -
Eavesdroppest ye: A wee drop,
"I can hear it! - I can feel it!
Whence it comes I can only deem,
Yet I will not tarry idly!
Lest this for me is a gay dream:
Let it adamant be -
A dream that will sojourn eternally -
Empty the flagon in
me!"
In which theatre I will act!"
