Lyrics Ho dracon ho megas - Therion

Ho dracon ho megas

(Act 1: The Dragon Throne.
Act 2: Fire and Ecstacy)
ollow via nocturna and luna
join the dance of hexentanz
and meet the mephisto.
follow via nocturna and luna
all this fauns and weird companions
moonstruck witches and their demons
«follow the nightway and become one of us»
so says the celebrants of the hexentanz.
they gather at bro-cken, on hills and the seas
dancing to the flute of pan until dawn
they will show you strange worlds of the night,
land of the moonlight and of dark memories,
caress the lady who is leading the dance,
know her name is lilith — the queen of the night
she tells you secrets in the form of the owl,
open your inner passions and your desire.
«here in the wilderness we are really free
to do our true will and to be like the beasts.
some call us barbarians and we are proud of that,
no passion is forbidden, no pleasure or pain
I can show you a paradise you’ve called a sin
we do our true will and call it arcady»
via nocturna, the path of nahema
via nocturna, will lead you to lilith and pan.
in the deepest forest
in the deepest dark
you will find the fire
and this secret path
when you wake up you will believe it was a wonderful dream
and that you never will caress the lady of the night again,
but you will at once if you enter the via nocturna.
