the palace ball

Therion

[Guests:]
Light of moon is falling through the evening curtains
Glittering when finding jewels, gold and all
Strolling in excesses, fancy suits and dresses
Raising our glasses to the palace ball

[Helena:]
Follow me Johanna
Join me in a toast

[Johanna:]
Not so fast, Helena
Where is our host?

[Helena:]
Over there, I see him
Elegance and pride

[Johanna:]
Let us go to greet him
Look into his eyes

[Seth:]
Enchanting, yes it is to meet Madame again
Allow me now to kiss your tender little hand

[Helena:]
Such an honor, Caesar, to kneel here at your feet
Next to me, my sister, I wish for you to meet

[Seth:]
This must be Johanna
Your eyes do mine entrance
May I have the pleasure to offer you a dance?

Like wings you cross the air of our tune
As night birds do when tides obey the moon

[Johanna:]
Deeper is your soul than a waterfall
Drowning in your memory of God

[Seth:]
To dance among the somber shadows
Pain shall be the drying sun of every rain

[Johanna:]
What have you to show?
Powers from below
Powers that are dangling from a string

[Seth:]
Light and darkness are the chords we play
Two melodies will find a common way

[Johanna:]
Listen I will not to this evil plot, Caesar
So I thank you for this dance

[Guests:]
Light of moon is falling through the evening curtains
Glittering when finding jewels, gold and all
The silence is unbroken, a million words unspoken
By sleeping ghosts awoken at the palace ball
