Once in a night
I spent in Istanbul
I had a dream of a forbidden world
Where even angels
Fear to look upon
A place where all of love is doomed to die
Her face appeared
Through clouds of bitter wine
Sour as the morning's early hours
She took my hair
And she curled it around
Her fingers
I was but a fool for love
The scent of Turkish oils
Mixed with the harsh tobacco
In the overcrowded bar
Hashish
And cool mint in her hair
I was a fool for love
I was a fool
She sang to me
A torch song softly laced
With mysteries Arabian
It poisoned my mind
A sickness in my soul
I tried
I didn't want to hear at all
A curtain fell
Before my eyes I did
Succumb into her healing breast
She sang that song
I gave her all my soul
And my all
To the pleasures of the flesh
I cried that night
For those forsaken times
Those times when I was
Simply satisfied
I turned to dust
That night a thousand times
That night a thousand times I died inside
And through what's left
Of my sad life I hear
Her singing in the fevers of the night
Look into the mirror of my eyes
And tell me what you see
It's not your love I need
You'll see
Sorrow, tears and darkness
These are the pleasures
Beyond your dreams
I found myself
Down by the sea
A hundred years ago
When I was in my teens
And years go by
I turned into a man
My childhood trapped within the sand
I crawled through life
On broken glass through hell
It seems I wakened my desires
And woke one day
Wet with the sweat of fear
Wet with the sweat of fear
As now with you
I'll reveal your mother
Come to me
I'll take you to the safety of the womb
Tell me your secrets
Sorrow tears and darkness
Pour out your heart
Sorrow tears and darkness
You'll be a fool
A fool for love
And hell had never seemed so good
As when I lost my soul
Became a fool for love
Help me, please to find my way
Look into the mirror of my eyes
Your kiss has clouded up my mind
And tell me what you see
I was a fool, a fool for love
It's not your love I need
I cried for those forsaken times
You'll see
She took my soul in Istanbul
Sorrow tears and darkness
She left me on that night to die
These are the pleasures beyond your dreams
These are the pleasures beyond all my dreams
I am lost
Help me to find my way
Here in a world where angels fear to gaze
My love is doomed to die
Alone tonight in Istanbul
And I a fool
For
Love
You say I'm your mystery
Please don't ever solve me
Because I won't be a mystery anymore
Something's holding my breath
Strikes the moment down
Gives me greater heights to reach
Sensual
Seriously sensual
We are all in search of the sensual
Eros
Erotomania
Brings ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy
Little lover
Let's explore a little while
Dance upon my heart
Take me on, you say
I'll be your mystery
We'll unveil a little more each time
A little more
Sensual
Seriously sensual
We are all in search of the sensual
Eros
Erotomania
Brings ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy
Do I ever feel tired?
I answer yes each time
It takes a little more to feel inspired
I'm a teardrop in a storm
A storm at the end of the world
I love you
I'd love you if you weren't you at all
Sensual
Seriously sensual
We are all in search of the sensual
Eros
Erotomania
Brings ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy
My room is flooded blue and green
It's completely real this dream seems
I need you
Or I need somebody now
This hurt it takes me to the edge
The moment when I taste my breath
Sweet with fear
And near to death
A kiss tastes sweeter on the brink of life
On the brink of life
Sensual
Seriously sensual
We are all in search of the sensual
Eros
Erotomania
Brings ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy
You say I'm your mystery
Please don't ever solve me
Because I won't be a mystery anymore
Something's holding my breath
Strikes the moment down
Gives me greater heights to reach
