paroles de chanson The Palace Ball - Therion

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

Follow me, Johanna, join me in a toast
Not so fast, Helena, where is our host?
Over there, I see him, elegance and pride
Let us go to greet him, look into his eyes

Enchanting, yes, it is, to meet Madame again
Allow me now to kiss your tender little hand
Such an honor, Caesar, to kneel here at your feet
Next to me, my sister, I wish for you to meet

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
Deeper is your soul than a waterfall
Drowning in your memory of God

To dance among the somber shadows, pain
Shall be the drying sun of every rain
What have you to show? Powers from below
Powers that are dangling from a string

Light and darkness are the chords we play
Two melodies will find a common way
Listen, I will not to this evil plot
Caesar, so I thank you for this dance

Light of moon is falling through the evening curtains
Glittering when finding jewels, gold and all
The silence is unbroken, a million words unspoken
Sleeping ghosts awoken at the palace ball
At the palace ball
