Lyrics
The Palace Ball
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
