Illusive Consensus

So sweet caress, never long to last
You entered my soul and gave hope to my life
So sweet caress, never hope to last
You left me behind all alone and aghast
Capured inside such an austere Elysium
Imperfect feelings, futile greef
Love a device against all solitude
As it all went on, the love became
A field in a dream that once had been real
So sweet caress, never long to last
Destroy this illusion we need a change of fate
Your frantic thoughts are only a condemned cry
Imperfect feelings, futile greef
Love a device against all solitude
As it all went on, the love became
A field in a dream that once had been real
(Primo somniare videbamur
Deinde veritas se praecipitavit)
I secretly longed for something which had never existed
(First I thought it was a dream
But then it smashed into reality
Beautiful on the outside
Decayed deeply within)
I secretly longed for something which had never existed
(Devoted to a body without a soul)
(Numquam non tibi diffidam)
