Standing in cold
I'm waiting for the dusk
The secret door
will be revealed
Years of studies
have bore fruits
Ancient tales
have guided my steps
I found the way
towards the underworld
And its treasures
hoarded for centuries
From dusk till dawn
the guardians are asleep
One night per year
this night has come
As the last rays of sun disappear
I hold my breath
I stare at the rock before me
waiting with fear
A gap appears in the rock
splitting it in two
The hole is widening
the door is opening
In the heart of the earth
where the daylight never comes
The people of the underworld
keeps its treasure
But tonight there's no move
the eyes are closed
Thousand of heavy breathes
put rhythm into the night
I pluck my courage
to penetrate the way
And follow the stairs
engraved in rock
Some little torches
enlighten my steps
The low ceiling
force me to bent down
Now I'm running
in the half-light
Cause I know
the time is short
From dusk till dawn
the guardians are asleep
One night per year
it's now or never
The stairs come to an end
I walk into a dark maze
What I see square exactly
with what I read
Dark rooms and narrow alleys
are following each others
Worrying figures people
the corners of the rooms
In the heart of the earth
Where the daylight never comes
The people of the underworld
keeps its treasure
Time is passing
the eyes keep closed
Thousand of heavy breathes
are filling the night
I can't believe my eyes
I've reached my aim
I know this door is the last
Behind it, wait the treasure
Now nothing can stop myself
I put my hand on the latch
The door opens itself in a creaking
Now nothing can stop myself
I put my hand on the latch
The door opens itself
in a creaking
Jewels and gold all around
Crowns and rings, necklaces and tiaras
What happened to their owners?
I don't care cause now all is mine.
I walk into a sea of gold
I gather the biggest jewels
I'll never can, let one of them
Creatures of the underworld are no more still
The eyes are moving under the eyelids
The night comes to its end
The dawn is near
I can't make any choice
There's too more wealth
I play with gold
But time is flying
I know I should leave the place /
but the gold hypnotizes me
How can I abandon
the dream of a life
Now resounds the cockcrow
I must flee immediately
But I can't let the gold
I try to take as much as possible
But it's never enough
I fill frantically my sacks and my pockets
And slip on necklaces and bracelets
Finally loaded like a packhorse
I run towards the door
As soon as I leave the treasure's room
I see I'm no more alone
Creatures look at me with a dark smile
The hunt can begin
Driven by the lure of money
I sealed my own fate
I know my end is near
I hear their laughing
I'm running towards the dark alleys
Creatures are everywhere, behind each corner
I let my sacks far away
And I flee anywhere I can
Driven by the lure of money
I sealed my own fate
I know my end is near
I hear their laughing
I begin to ask myself
If they don't drive me where they want
I enter in a little room without any exit
Blood and bones on the ground
