Time Stands Still (But Stops for No-One) Songtext
von Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows

That little mountain rises while other dissolve into a plain, time redefines itself and falls in sadness grain by grain ...
"Time heals all the wounds", the two-tongued echoes seem to say,
But nothing, nothing changes, still pain remains, won′t pass away ...
I went weak as I grew old, and time itself has made me slow,
And as I close my eyes in sadness a thousand seasons come and go ...
Mighty enough to cover all and also cruel enough to reveal,
But the wounds and scars I carry
Neither force nor kiss can heal ...


No, time heals nothing, nothing, nothing,
Spitefully turns away and laughs,
Leaves you half-broken and in defiance
Is only added another scar ...
Call it "blind" how I am writhing,
Counting hours, centuries.
The pain it glows and grows in tides,
Unable to vanish, unwilling to cease ...
No time heals nothing, nothing, nothing,
Pushes 'till we′re diving into different flesh.
Time heals nothing, nothing, nothing
In the coldness of the inner flames...

Time's fingers claw, I am losing hold,
There is no hope for me on earth.
Time either still or maybe rushing,
In any case it will turn out worse ...
Time is fleeting, time stands still,
It stops for no-one and we're trapped within.
Though I may dream of the light,
I am falling back to the left-hand side ...

"How I wish that I was dead and rest in final peace,
But even the luxury of death
Can′t cure the wounds time cannot heal..."
