Sopor Aeternus Do You Know About The Water Of Life
In my subterranean tower...- yes, it was "love" that
has brought me here, there are no numbers, but one and

these vaults have ears and there's no hiding from the
tears...

these vaults have ears and there's no hiding from the
tears...

these vaults have ears and there's no hiding from the
tears...

shroud for a deafening scream.
Built brick by brick and fear by fear...- Oh,
everything's inverted here. These walls have eyes,
these vaults have ears and there's no hiding from the
tears...
