Текст песни Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows The Lion's Promise

After the boy had taken a walk
With his dear deceased grandmother,
His feet were somehow led to a small, ancient church,
Giving quite an imposing grandeur.
Partially sunken in the morass of the marshland,
All foggy and chronically overcast...
The ancient house is waiting.
The haunted house lies waiting.

Clockwise the stone flight is spiralling upwards,
But soon the passage becomes too small to get on,
Even though the boy's now crawling.
Anxiously he attempts to restrain,
But his way back seems to be obstructed:
Gelatinous hearts are lined-up along the walls,
Each of them inseminated or defiled by a black tadpole.

A stone lion promises to be the boy's rescue
But only, if he stops running away from him...
