Текст песни The Lion's Promise (Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows) с переводом

After the boy had taken a walk

with his dear — deceased — Grandmother,

his feet were somehow led to a small, ancient church,

wich was giving quite an imposing grandeur.

Partially sunken in the morass if the marshland

all foggy and chronically overcast…-

the ancient house was 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 semms to be obstructed:

Gelatinous hearts are linded-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 eventually… stops running away… from

him…
