about

A real soft one, some of you may think... but this is part of the dualism, life's built on. You think hate can exist without love??? You guess light can be without dark??? Excuse me, you are wrong, if you do think so!

Besides, all sentiments are based on the potential of love and hate.
"Body of clay" is about loss, which unites love and hatred into one unique sentiment: regret. This is about my very death, leaving behind the one, whom I love, whom I adore. I bet most of you know this feeling...

"the cold and never-ending rain", Life itself, demands our tears, for different occasions, for so many moods, so that we have the feeling, we become one with the struggling of a living. It's like we discovered a way to communicate with life. Only thereafter we realize how important the warmth of love can be, in order to keep your balance. Yet, in time, we become more vulnerable and weaker ( the flood devours all ), though our sentiments grow stronger and the inevitable end seems so irrelevant, that, together with that sentiment of love and adoration, death becomes so fantastic, like a fairy-tale ( death becomes angels ) ...and our nothingness slips into oblivion ( defying ...my body of clay ).

Having this sentiments illusionating reality, I cling on to what I preciously have, letting death's angels filling my decaying being. Unable to act in any way. Not seeing an exit from this ( we end up like moles ) she weeps my tears, my essence becomes her suffering ( let me be, darling, tears in your eye...)

lyrics

Cry with my tears
Cry with my pain
Still in the cold
Neverending rain

With one of your kisses
My words you'd freeze
From one of your kisses
My bleeding would cease

Shed all my tears
The flood devours all
The earth, us, rushing...
A shy, whispered call

Death becomes angels
Who won't turn away
Defying all my yearing
And my body of clay

Cry with my crying
You end up like (a) mole
Death loves the angels
Retired into my soul

As I'm drained and welken
My last wish I sigh
Let me be, darling
Tears in your eye.
