Via Nocturna - Therion

In the forest you will meet

Silhouettes of your dreams

Dancing on the path you walk

Things you have frightened

You now find so sweet

On the path of darkness

Your wishes become real

On the crossroad you will meet

What your heart desire

Take a glance upon the shadows

On you see your face in them

When you wake up you wish

You will sleep again

Part II: «Hexentanz»

Follow 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 Brocken, 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 an owl

Open your inner passions and 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 call 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 to 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 when enter the Via Nocturna
