Codex Gigas

Night has fallen with whispering tongues
On the monastery
Sheets are empty, but who is the oneWith 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?
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
