Without love, the soul will sleep   The sleep of sleeps, I feel it coming   I'm becoming stone against her song   The black rose is weaving black notes   I took it into my hands   She caught me into her net   This princess never wakes      Marble-enchanted,    Longing for a cold breeze, another storm   Marble-enchanted,    Longing for someone to find this castle's door   Marble-enchanted,    Hoping that someone will come and bring me back   Marble-enchanted,    The statue must still be warm      The moment I saw you in my dreams   I had to find you, my silent rose   I knew the song that you would sing   The curse of the sweet oblivion   I needed the sleep it brings   I thought it was bliss, it is      I'm the woe of the living marble   I'm the painting's contents and its frame   I'm black like the rose's blood    And her breath      Marble-enchanted,    I feel the rain, I know time's passing, I'm unchanged    Marble-enchanted,    Life flows by, the rosebush grows, the bindweed climbs    The seasons change,    But the princess is still lying dead-asleep   Marble-enchanted,    Her heart wouldn't know now how to beat      A black rose in her hands   The princess is still asleep   Since so long that her heart   Wouldn't know how to beat      That craving, silently put out   Will never be rekindled   No world now, just the dreams      Dancing among dreams, spinning among tears   I think I am no longer here   Dancing among dreams, spinning among tears   I think I am no longer here...
