Road To Pain - Lacrimosa

Why the fuck does beauty hurt?

Why the fuck does beauty lead to pain?

In both ways it ends in pain

Anyway — give me your beauty now

Anyway — blow my veins

Curse me and riddle me

The road to pain is paved by beauty

Oh, you incredible road

I don’t want to walk where else

I can’t beat you — since I can’t beat beauty

I only can scream in ecstasy

Praise the beauty and praise the pain

Double feature beauty is double feature pain

Whether I can take it

Or I’m damned to bleed

And blood can taste so sweet

Praise the beauty and praise the pain

Things to watch from afar

Are simply not to be touched

How much can you destroy

By getting yet to close

Oh, you incredible road

I don’t want to walk where else

I can’t beat you — since I can’t beat beauty

I only can scream in ecstasy

Praise the beauty and praise the pain

Double feature beauty is double feature pain

Whether I can take it

Or I’m damned to bleed

And blood can taste so sweet

So beautiful your body

So beautiful your face

Your voice is tender soft

And velvet is your skin

Only your words are a little week

Since your mind is kind of narrow

As your movements are little funny

Since you are trying to fake your nature

Trying to be a star

Growing in shallow adaptations

By loosing your nature given power

Praise the beauty and praise the pain
