trans-siberian orchestra - queen of the winter night (narration) lyrics

[spoken word]
and so back at the hotel
our angel again arrived
but this time he went up the front steps
which of course led him inside
it’s one of those things that architects conveniently decide
now hotels are quite like people
no two exactly the same
and this one had such a magical past
the angel found himself quite entertained
the foyer still had its elegance
that the years could not disguise
and the shadows of christmas eves long disappeared
this night still gently glided by
for in this hotel
here side by side
the past and the present dwelled
and the ghosts who lived here
not only lived, they honestly lived well
the lobby had a steinway piano
that was steeped in memories
and some said duke ellington’s fingers
still lingered on those keys
there was a grand palace ballroom
where princesses had once waltzed
who’s beauty and sense of style
the newspapers would constantly exalt
the ghosts of rockefellers and vanderbilts
still met at their christmas eve charity ball
raising money, not for themselves
but raising it for all
and the sound of their children laughing
still echoed in these halls
now these spirits of course
could not be seen by any human eyes
but each one smiled at the angel
when they saw him walking by
and these ghosts reminded the angel
how every human waiting to be born
and every life that had already left
when it was tired out and worn
were connected by those alive right now
which gave the living quite a trust
to pass on what was best and good
inside of each of us
now within each guest room
he heard many hearts
and behind each heart
there was a life
and the angel carefully read them all
with the next hour of that night
when he reached the grand palace ballroom
it was behind closed mahogany doors
and when the angel was passing by it
he could hear music begin once more
it seemed that since the room was built
musicians did permanently reside
and then the angel did what we all would do
he went to look inside
and there he found such a majestic orchestra
to please all it would be enough
but then someone plugged a guitar in
and the volume it crept up
so with a song inspired
by mozart’s famous queen of the night
the orchestra added the word “winter”
and some notes, some fog, some lights
