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 Raising our glasses to the palace ball 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: Deeper is your soul than a waterfall Drowning in your memory of God 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
