The Story Of 'Sadeness (Part II)' (口白)

The Story Of 'Sadeness (Part II) ' (口白) - Enigma

Lyrics by：Michael Kunze

Composed by：Michael Cretu

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 mouldy 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 massage

Viens chez moi je suis ton destin

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

Sade j'ai compris Sade je te suis

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
