Therion – Codex Gigas
Lyrics Codex Gigas – Therion
Night has fallen with whispering tongues
On the monastery
Sheets are empty but who is the one
With the quill before him
May you open Codex Gigas
What lies behind
Spread the pages
Hell and heaven
On opposite sides
No more ink is put down by the quill
Soon touched by morning
As in honour the monk greets the one
Painting his portrait
May you open Codex Gigas
What lies behind
Spread the pages
Hell and heaven
On opposite sides
May you open Codex Gigas
What lies behind
Was there a prayer
A special prayer
To have the one come forth
Spread the pages
Hell and heaven
On opposite sides
Bearer of the cloth in white
May you open Codex Gigas
What lies behind
Spread the pages
Hell and heaven
On opposite sides
Watch the riddle through the ages
It will always remain
Watch as it lies open
May you open Codex Gigas
What lies behind
Was there a prayer
A special prayer
To have the one come forth
Spread the pages
Hell and heaven on opposite sides
Bearer of the cloth in white…
