Penance & Pain Lyrics - Sopor Aeternus

The living ... have a look at the living: 

Dancing blindly ... losing balance, 

Will you chose pain ... or will you prefer the penance; 

The penance. 

The living ... have a look at the living: 

Dancing blindly ... losing balance, 

Will you chose pain ... or will you prefer the penance; 

The penance. 

The living and the undead, 

The living and the undead. 

A ballet of the living and the living dead: 

Penance, penance & Pain; 

Penance & Pain. 

The living ... have a look at the living: 

Dancing blindly ... losing balance, 

Will you chose pain ... or will you prefer the penance; 

The Penance. 

Light and dark, two paths ahead, 

Death to rebirth ... - or life undead; 

Life undead. 

One for the living, 

One for the undead ... - 

The undead, the undead, the undead. 

Light and dark, two paths ahead, 

Death to rebirth ... - or life undead; 

Life undead. 

One for the living, for the living, 

Only for the living; 

One for the undead, for the undead. 

Life on one side, 

Undeath on the other side ... - the darkest side: 

"I don't belong to your side anymore. 

I'm one of the undead", 

This is what the pale boy said.
