The Dark Moor

Tells the legend, there's a magic place

That could nobody find its trace

Land of darkness, land of forlorn songs

Where all is mystic all along

[The Traveller]

Where I am? Lost in the stream

Is it real or a dream?

My stunned mind listens to a call

Like a spirit into crystal ball

But in depth, I see a gleam

Fearful I'll follow the beam

With the shadows I will brawl

So I will arrive to the light hall

Dark Moor, Dark Moor

Welcome to the Dark Moor

Dark Moor, Dark Moor

Welcome to the Hall

[Spirit of the Art]

Who comes in the Hall of Olden Dreams?

[The Traveller]

I listen to a voice in my head

[Spirit of the Art]

Speak! And then I just could deem

[The Traveller]

I don't know why I am here

[Spirit of the Art]

I read in your fate

[Choir]

Choose your goodness! Choose your badness!

[Spirit of the Art]

You must cross the gate!

[Devil of Greed]

It is too late

[The Traveller]

Yes! I obey the command

Find the gate in Shadowland

If my destiny it wrote

Only the trust wants it to denore

Dark Moor, Dark Moor

Welcome to the Dark Moor

City of the dreams, where is its gateway?

Dark Moor, Dark Moor

Welcome to the Dark Moor

Among gothic gargoyles always the Art stays

Dark Moor, Dark Moor

Welcome to the Dark Moor

Sleeping in the darkness there's a light

Dark Moor, Dark Moor

Welcome to the Dark Moor

Bathing like moon in the silent night

[Choir]

Care with the nice evil lies

Because the greed never dies

Care with the sweet false promise

Which proclaims the paradise

[Spirit of the Art]

Don't listen to it's false word

Moreover don't fight with it's bejewelled sword

And ever don't play in its black rich board

Remember

[The Traveller]

Who's there in the dark?

[Devil of Greed]

I'm who keeps the ark

[The Traveller]

Why do you talk me?

[Devil of Greed]

Your friend I could be

[The Traveller]

Why'll I trust in you?

[Devil of Greed]

It would be a good view

[The Traveller]

Move away! With your false hopes

[Devil of Greed]

Your illusions are your slope

[The Traveller]

You don't try to cross my way

[Devil of Greed]

Riches you can not slay

[The Traveller]

Perhaps I cannot win

Nor a new world begin

But now and ever in my heart the Art will be my sin

Dark Moor, Dark Moor

Welcome to the Dark Moor

Sleeping in the darkness there's a light

Dark Moor, Dark Moor

Welcome to the Dark Moor

Bathing like moon in the silent night

[The Traveller]

I can see

In my soul

The gate's before me

Mystery's real

My destiny

[Devil of Greed]

You won't free

[The Traveller]

Let me go

[Devil of Greed]

You can't flee!

[The Traveller]

No!

I am falling slow

[The Traveller]

Then I crossed the Gates of Oblivion

In the dark moor my spirit could fly

I am glad about my decision

As my word could always testify

With the Muses I danced in the night

Beneath the full Moon I felt the Spell

And its poetry gave me its fine old bite

And I could never say farewell

And the music in my heart

Filled my illusions with the Art

And the angels showed me

Which is the way of the stars

[Choir]

Like a dream immortal

You crossed the dark Portal

You will be blasphemer, deemer, dreamer

This is the gift of the Gods

Which for men will be odd

This is the dream of the demons who envy it

[The Traveller]

Oh! In the end of time

Muses teach me that I'm

Who choose my truth forever

Oh! Spirit of the Art

If my soul must depart

My mind will stay with you

[Spirit of the Art]

Poet of the dark glance

In your eyes a romance

With it I dance

Musician of the dreams

[The Traveller]

My inspiration will be

All the strength of my destiny

I wake up and my throat screams

Was it real or a dream

But why's tears there in my eyes?
