Miniature Songtext
von Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows

Let me tell you a secret
One from across the divide
When I saw you with her, that day, I
I don′t know how I felt, to be honest
Confused, maybe, at first, and sad
Because of the usual, but just for a moment
And then it all changed
Because there was also another sensation
One I had never encountered before
A genuine pleasance, a warmth overcame me
And I was surprised that the only cause for this
Was the fact that you were happy
And to witness this fortune that wasn't my own
Was enough yet for me to abandon my sadness
And delight in the joy that you clearly had found
But then, as it is with a mind that is tied At the end of the day, the sadness returned
Along with the cruelty of my condition
Forever denied what now became hers
To put it more bluntly, I pitied myself
I sat there and cried and sobbed like a fool
That nature had built me in such a foul way
That I′ll never be what she is to you
Yet as I compared my grey solitude
To the golden halo of your blissful joy
That warmth from before once more overcame me
And stayed in my heart to this very day
So let me tell you a secret now
It's almost like I am no longer myself
I am bathed in a wonderful feeling
For I know that you're happy and well
