well its a song of irony.. look at the title: if only tonight we could sleep
people usually do sleep at night.. so even when robert smith says a "deathless spell" he very well may be talking about death. its not that he necessarily wants to experience the death.. a deathless spell implies death without the dying. just an eternal sleep.
so perhaps it is, in fact, if only tonight we could sleep... forever.
thus supporting the use of death as a means of making love eternal.
