Codex Gigas Songtext
von 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

Was thеre a prayer, a special prayеr (may you open Codex Gigas?)
To have the one come forth? (what lies behind?)
Spread the pages, hell and heaven
On opposite sides
Bearer of the cloth in white

May you open Codex Gigas? (may you open Codex Gigas?)
What lies behind? (what lies behind?)
Watch the riddle through the ages (spread the pages, hell and heaven)
It will always remain (on opposite sides) (watch as it lies open)

May you open Codex Gigas?
What lies behind?
Spread the pages, hell and heaven (spread the pages)
On opposite sides
Bearer of the cloth in white
