Therion - Hexentanz lyrics

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 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.
