Therion - The Palace Ball lyrics

Light of moon is falling
Through the evening curtains
Glittering when finding jewels, gold and all
Strolling in excesses
Fancy suit's 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
Silence is unbroken, a million words unspoken
Sleeping ghosts awoken at the palace ball
At the palace ball
