Letra da Música No-one Is There de Sopor Aeternus

Now and then I'm scared,
when I seem to forget how sounds become words
or even sentences ...
No, I don't speak anymore and what could I say,
since no-one is there and there is nothing to say ...

So, I prefer to lie in darkest silence alone ...
listening to the lack of light, or sound,
or someone to talk to, for something to share ...
- but there is no hope and no-one is there.

No, no, no ...- not one living soul and
there is nothing (left) to say,
in darkness I lie all alone by myself,
sleeping most of the time to endure the pain.

I am not breathing a word,
I haven't spoken for weeks and yet
the mistress inside me is (secretly) straining her ears.
But there is no-one, and it seems to me at times
that with every passing hour
another word is leaving my mind ...

I am the mistress of loneliness,
my court is deserted but I do not care.
The presence of people is ugly and cold and
something I can neither watch nor bear.

So, I prefer to lie in darkness silence alone,
listening to the lack of light, or sound,
or someone to talk to, for something to share ...
- but there is no hope and no-one is there.

No, I don't speak anymore and what should I say,
since no- one is there and there is nothing to say?
All is oppressive, alles ist schwer,
there is no-one and NO-ONE IS THERE ...
