Der Kelch des Lebens Lyrics

Versagt im Wort
Im Traum zerflossen
Den Kelch des Lebens nur beruhrt
In einem Sog
Die Kehle mit dem Gift gefullt
Den Korper und das Fleisch zersetzt
Die Seele leer getrunken
Am Stamm der Sehnsucht wund gewetzt
Erhitzt - verbrannt
Zu heiss - vorbei
Sehnsucht

Ausgesetzt und abgeschoben
Den Samen in den Sumpf gepflanzt
Nunmehr da ich fuhle
Bin ich Mensch und will ich auch sprechen
Am Fuss der Berge will ich knien
Will das Meer mit Worten segnen
Welcher Wind hat mich gerufen
Welcher Clown hat mich ausgelacht
So brauche ich den Namen nicht
Werde nicht gerufen
Noch werde ich Antwort jemals horen

Es ist der Traum der mich gefuhrt
Und folgen werde ich bis in die Glut

[English translate: THE GOBLET OF LIFE]

Devoid of words
Dissolved in a dream
The goblet of life is only touched
In a wake
My throat filled with poison
My body and flesh disintegrated
My soul drunk empty
Wounded in the realms of yearning
Burned and scorched
Too hot - all past
Yearning

Abandoned and discarded
Seed painted in the mire
Now as I feel
I am a person and also wish to speak
I will knee at the foot of the mountain
Bless the sea with words
Which wind has called me
Which clown had derided me
I do not need the name
I will not call out
Neither will I ever hear the answer

The dream has led me
And I will follow it into the glowing fire...

Lacrimosa is a duo led by German-born Tilo Wolff, the main composer, and Finnish Anne Nurmi, currently based in Switzerland and founded in 1990. Lacrimosa was at the beginning a solo project of Tilo Wolff and his musical genre originally was neue deutsche todeskunst (New German Death Art). Between Satura and Inferno, when Anne Nurmi (ex-Two Witches) joined a group, their music style has shifted much more towards hard rock/(neo)progressive rock with gothic influences. Their musical style mixes heavy metal and gothic rock sounds along with violin, trumpet and more classical instruments, although their musical development throughout the years has also led to changes in instrumentation. Lacrimosa's lyrics are written almost exclusively in German, although since the 1995 album Inferno every album has featured one or two songs in English, generally written by Anne Nurmi. Finnish has also appeared in brief spoken intros to two songs (Schakal on Inferno and The Turning Point on Elodia) and on a bonus track in a limited edition release of Fassade. Their lyrics are mainly about loneliness, sadness, darkness, despair and love.
All albums were released through Wolff's own label Hall of Sermon.
