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?
