While on the surface light and shade take turns
And smile and tears and fair and ugly,
Saint and nasty
And the monstrous is just the different:
Tiny crack in the globe's perfection
Down there swarms excess
Where exception is the rule
And the loathsome spreads always
Unexplored dimensions
And sundry doors open on the magma:
The black holes
In the terrible adventure of each night
Whose irrational daring springs only
From the ignorance of danger
The doors open wide and streams of unknown
Flow into the sleep
The unnameable gave me the axe
To lop off the head, sever the limbs
Disguise coldly and throw away
My brother
Lights often keep secret hypnosis
Sleeping down - there - in the dark
"Undead is whoever can wait eternally"
In ambush, ready to seize with the fangs!
Slowly the phantoms reascend
Creeping through the grey canals
Silently riding the wings of reality
The mischievous glance speedily flares
While pure and deranged
My poor little sister I deflower
Or drive the red - My red - Soaking blade
Into the boring - beloved - old
benefactress' heart!
And when the fog starts to unreel
And the obscure gulfs are covered again
As if nothing had ever happened
And yet the unaware people
Smile at me raising their hats:
"Mr. Doctor!"
And when the open wide eyes revisit
Every d***ed endless moment
I set out across the pebbles
Worn out... worn out
Laying my head, I stare at the lights
For the last time
Two lights... on the tracks
And smile and tears and fair and ugly,
Saint and nasty
And the monstrous is just the different:
Tiny crack in the globe's perfection
Down there swarms excess
Where exception is the rule
And the loathsome spreads always
Unexplored dimensions
And sundry doors open on the magma:
The black holes
In the terrible adventure of each night
Whose irrational daring springs only
From the ignorance of danger
The doors open wide and streams of unknown
Flow into the sleep
The unnameable gave me the axe
To lop off the head, sever the limbs
Disguise coldly and throw away
My brother
Lights often keep secret hypnosis
Sleeping down - there - in the dark
"Undead is whoever can wait eternally"
In ambush, ready to seize with the fangs!
Slowly the phantoms reascend
