Lyrics Therion – The Palace Ball

GUESTS:
Light of moon is falling through the evening curtains
Glittering when finding jewels, gold and all
Strolling in excesses, fancy suits and dresses

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:

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
