Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows - Black

Once I cast a spell over myself
The kind of spell that you forget the moment that it takes effect

Oh, I wanted to see if there is any love in me
So I made a spell to cast, to cast, to cast over myself

For six long years I suspended my disbelief
I allowed for the illusion to unfold and deeply loved a man
Who loved me not
Those six long years, I cried so many tears
I learned all the things that love can bring
Except for one minor thing:

Tell me, how does it feel when his love is real?
When the bond, you think, you shared is not merely in your head?

Once I cast a spell over myself
The kind of spell that you forget the moment that it takes effect
But I wanted to see if there is any love for me
So I made a spell and cast it over myself
