Therion
The Arrival of Apollonius
[Intro: Messenger, women & men]
Hear me now
Greet the one approaching you
One man so amazing from the dawn of time
Master of the eastern light
Wisdom from afar
Answering the stars
Guiding to embrace
Every human eye collecting secret wonders from grace
Tell us more
He is the answer
To our restless minds gazing through
The blindfolded eyes of pride

[Verse 1: Messenger]
Sorcerer of dreams
Bringing magic
Sailing on the seas
Deep to purify all that we have seen with rivers between

[Chorus: Women]
Sorcerer, we find thee beautiful and mighty
Serpent of temptation, what will your creation be?
Foreign is your flower in our sleeping garden
Sparkling from the diamonds we can't see
[Verse 2: Men & women]
And never so strong
We admire
Envy who you are
Immensely your strength and pride
Mighty one
Come to me
Mighty one
Mine shall be now

[Chorus: All citizens]
Marching into heaven through the use of magic
Meeting our savior; he has maybe sent for him?
Everything will silence in the final moment
Ready to behold him and to dream

[Bridge: Men & women]
Soon awaken and then we will
Carry home colors from the sun
Eyes in shadows, sleeping has still
Come to pass, dreaming has begun

[Outro: Women, men & all citizens]
Great shining star! In the sky bright you are
Everything changes and flows
Magical man, we are part of your plan
And shall be flowing again
