Gabrielle
by Cradle of Filth

Foul snake despair
Where once you darkened gardens
Another coils there
Where twice you sliced all hope from me
And left these present scars
An insane love now burns above
The weft of incandescent stars

Hilt your dripping fangs that range
Skywards to rend apart
I might have sang of wings unchained
But long before I locked my heart

For Gabrielle
A fit and perfect stitch of foreign parts
Whose beauty fostered poets
Whose laugh like silver belts
Thawed your bitter winter from my path

Gabrielle
Foul snake despair
Where once you peddled secrets
Another spoils there
With speech that sweetens drowning
In deep lagoons of eyes
And legs that begged apologies
For lengths that mesmerised

Spare your hissing sentiments
For her fee welts more than thine
Though no malice she weans
Just a palace of dreams
Where windswept chambers pine

For Gabrielle
Whose hair-spun onyx is run with gold
Her rouge lips smack of dark blood
Her name in whisper rolls
Forever on my tongue
Lest her memory dissolve

Gabrielle
Oh, Gabrielle

Once crucified
I would have died
A thousand more times
Just to feel her breath
On my neck as a fervent lover
To drown her sighs
In floods of tears so well refined
And blind from spying her
In the arms of others

Gabrielle
Gabrielle

Buried inside
Where she?s all but mine
Save for those that dine
Oh her, on her perfect carcass

Gabrielle
Gabrielle

Foul snake despair
Where once you wreaked my misery
Another toils there
For long lost Gabrielle
Whose nightly spreading grin
Persists in other faces
By whom I?m slowly taken in

05. Absinthe With Faust
Pour the emerald wine
Into crystal glasses
We will touch the divine
Through kisses catharsis

Let us pitch to the seven-year itch
Of the ultra-decadent
To a tainted world and the painted girls
That our fantasies spent

Tripping through boudoirs laced with opiate themes
Sipping the bizarre, tasting copious dreams
A toast to those most sacrilegious of days
Where for every whim won
One soon repays

We touched the stars
That now laugh from afar
At we, the damned
The damned
The damned
The damned

We have spent our time
Drenched in opulent splendour
But when midnight chimes
Will gilded souls surrender?

Let us drink on the giddying brink
Of pools of excrement
All manner of s**t for the glamour and glitz
Mephistopheles lent

I remember the night as if it were engraved
A bright marble bridge stretched across the dark waves
To the shore from the moon and by her grace
Came that erudite stranger
That ********

Come my friend, to fate let's raise
Two finger shots at this our last soiree
For tomorrow I fear
Swoops all too deadly near
This precipitous weir to Hell's high gate

We touched the stars
That now laugh from afar
At we, the damned
The damned
The damned
The damned

Zuviel
Too much
by Böhse Onkelz

Wir fliehen voreinander
We flee of each other
Der Himmel ist das Ziel
The sky is the goal
Das Leben will es anders
Life wants it different
Zwei sind einer zuviel
Two is one too much

Es brennt nicht mehr
It burns no more
Wir verschwenden unsere Zeit
We waste our time
Ich habe Angst mich zu verlieren
I'm afraid to lose me
Wir sind einsam zu zweit
We're lonely together

Eine letzte Umarmung bevor ich geh
One last hug before I leave
Ein letzter Fick bevor wir uns nie wieder seh'n?
One last ******** before we never see each other again
Ein letztes Wort nach so langer Zeit
One last word after such a long time
Ein letzter Blick und wir sind wieder allein
One last gaze and we're alone again

Zuviele Worte
Too many words
Alles totgeredet
Everything flogged to death

Zu viele Träume
Too many dreams
Die nie in Erfüllung geh'n
that will never come true
Zu viele Tränen
Too many tears
Wir lieben uns zu Tode
We love us to death
Zuviele Gedanken
Too many thoughts
Die sich um Dich dreh'n
that turn about you

Wir hatten alles
We had everything
Zeit für neue Episoden
Time for new episodes
Wenn man losläßt
When you let go
Stirbt man immer kleine Tode
you always die little deaths

Zuviele Fragen
Too many questions
Wieso und warum
How and why
Zuviele Narben
Too many scars

Unsere Zeit ist einfach um
Our time is just over

Laß uns nicht geh'n
Don't let us go
Mit Haß in unseren Blicken
with hate in our looks
Sag' auf Wiederseh'n
Say farewell
Mit einem Segen auf den Lippen
with a blessing on your lips

Nur die Besten sterben jung
by Böhse Onkelz

Wir waren mehr als Freunde, wir war'n wie Brüder,
We were more than just friends, we were like brothers,
Viele Jahre sangen wir die gleichen Lieder.
For many years we sang the same songs
Nur die Besten sterben jung - Du warst der Beste!
Only the best die young - You were the best!
Nur noch Erinnerung - sag mir warum?
Only memory - tell me why?

Refrain:
Nur die Besten sterben jung.
Only the best die young.
Nur die Besten sterben jung.
Only the best die young.

Die Zeit heilt Wunden, doch vergessen kann ich nicht,
Time heals wounds but I can't forget,
die Zeit heilt Wunden, doch ich denke oft an Dich.
time heals wounds but I often think of you.
Ganz egal, wo Du auch bist - Du weißt so gut wie ich,
No matter where you are - You know as well as I,
irgendwann seh'n wir uns wieder - in meinen Träumen, in uns'ren Liedern!
someday we'll see again - in my dreams, in our songs!
Sag mir warum...
Tell me why...

Refrain:
Nur die Besten sterben jung.
Only the best die young.
Nur die Besten sterben jung.
Only the best die young. <span id="test14623431">. . .</span><br/><div id="post14623431" style="display:none; margin-right:75px;"></div>
