Текст песни Enigma - The Story Of 'Sadeness (Part II)' (The Fall Of A Rebel Angel (Limited Super Deluxe Edition) 2016)

The sound of an organ draws you in
Invisible hands touch you and push you ahead
By and by, your eyes adjust to the darkness
A million prayers and a billion curses float through the
Air and tumble to the ground, turning into red smoke
This cathedral is terribly dilapidated
The pews are broken
The walls are crumbling
Some ragged flags, some moldy saints, and a large hole in the roof
At the sanctuary, a group of monks in red-
Bordered frocks chanting blasphemous psalms
A magic ritual inspiring an ecstatic priest in ceremonial attire
He's facing the altar with arms extended, turning his back to you
Is he praying?
No
He listens to some mysterious message

You're intrigued
You walk up to him, and when you're right behind
Him, he turns around, and you stand petrified
The priest is a woman
The face of the limousine driver
She's half-naked, lascivious smile, sensuous lips, perfect body

Angel or devil?
You're tempted, confused, scared
She beckons you to come closer
Her eyes hold you
Her words grab you
Her beauty feeds your dreams
Your fear catches fire and burns to ashes
You feel lighter, better, saved
Being aware, of course, you're still lost
You're ready to give in, ready to give up
You need to touch her, but you grasp at nothing
She's gone
A vanished illusion
The image remains, stored
