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

By sleeping ghosts awoken at the palace ball
