Lyrics Codex Gigas - Therion

Night has fallen with whispering tongues
On the monastery
Sheets are empty, but who is the one
With the quill before him?

May you open Codex Gigas
What lies behind?
Spread the pages
Hell and heaven on opposite sides

No more ink is put down by the quill
Soon touched by morning
As in honour the monk greets the one
Painting his portrait

May you open Codex Gigas
What lies behind?
Spread the pages
Hell and heaven on opposite sides

Was there a prayer (may you open Codex Gigas), a special prayer
To have the one come forth (what lies behind?)
Spread the pages
Hell and heaven on opposite sides
Bearer of the cloth in white

May you open (may you open) Codex Gigas (Codex Gigas)
What lies behind? (What lies behind?)
Watch the riddle through the ages (spread the pages)
Hell and heaven on opposite sides (it will always remain) (on opposite sides)
Watch as it lies open (may you open)
Codex Gigas (Codex Gigas), what lies behind? (What lies behind?)
Spread the pages (spread the pages)
Hell and heaven on opposite sides
Bearer of the cloth in white
