A Death Never to be Complete sleeve 1. Just as I told you


2. Though it went so well?

You who have been yearning
for that miracle to perhaps occur
That madness waiting within you
That madness waiting within you
Let it overflow that way
Will bring a quicker end, won't it?
You miracle yearning for a miracle
If you confess you were nothing
from the beginning all will go well, won't it?



3. That which is becoming to me

Faintly moving ah
Faintly moving again now visible
If your joy is grasped once more
Your wound faintly moving
Seems it will come to me
Faintly trembled this feeling which will fall
is most becoming to me
Burning fiercely within this madness
I count one two
These awakened feelings
Burning fiercely within this madness
I can be thought of you
The tenderness remembered most
is the calm when everything becomes nothing
When I no longer know which way to go is
When I rejoice most, I suppose
Watching you then is when I
No longer have need of wings
I will take you
I prefer this
I prefer this
That which can be seen no matter how hidden
That which I must of thought of as joy
That which I must of thought of as joy
The radiance too



4. Continue to be

The universe doesn't exist for someone
It doesn't want to be protected by someone
Just to be here That is enough
It doesn't exist just for you
Just continuing to gaze upon this radiance
Even desire already forgotten
Even if the end was announced
Just only being eternally
Just only being eternally
Just only being eternally
Continuing to be together with me



5. A death never to be complete

This is is this happiness?
This is is this happiness?
This suffices for delight?
This is is this delight?
To played with a death never to be complete
This is is this exultation?
This suffices for exultation?
This is is this me?
This suffices for me?
When nerves are cut unable to become anything
This is is this a dream?
This is is this rapture?
This suffices for rapture?
Playing with a death never ever to complete
This is is this joy?
