Ballad Of The Maiden, The Monster, And The Gates.

My dreams are always tempting, never releasing me
Off into the real world, where I'd rather be.
But who would truly want me to go increasingly
Mad of this temptation, that keeps chasing me?

[chorus:]
Oh, will you come with me to take on your destiny,
That is always waiting and longing for you?
Oh, please, quit hesitating; yours incontestably,
Life behind the gates is the one you once knew.

Is this voice calling me? but whereto is it inviting me?
Why should I go? And who is the girl?
While my answer is yes, the gates are closed nevertheless,
And if it is no, then answers the Owl,
"Nevermore"...

[instrumental]

It happened in the winter, frosty and lonely night,
I was on the road, when the clatter arose,
I turned to see a monster, charging and fire-eyed,
All I did was whistling; with terror I froze.

[chorus]

And it swallowed me whole with its gaping maw of a hole,
Screeched and roared and moved down the road!
In its smelly entrails with leather seats and iron rails
I said a prayer, then asked with despair,
"Who is there?!"

[instrumental]

A demoness came up to me, speaking of reason to
All, about the answers and the meaning of choice.
The succubus was talking, but I didn't listen to,
Falling deep asleep to her angelic voice.

[chorus]

I woke up at the place of summer and unearthly grace.
I was alone, the monster was gone.
She came out of those gates, the angel with evergolden braids.
I saw her smile, and there, in her eyes,
Paradise.
