There is a chapel in the woods
Where from the farthest-seeing senses rule
There is a scroll inside a casket...
Clear blue eyes have worn this outfit
Yes I knew it was no moonshine, it is real
I feel much better
Now I know this spiral shaft
Can possess the brightness of the light
Oh, I sayeth, thou art mine true companion
And I wish
Thou wilt enter my kingdom
Oh, mesmerising unicorn
When if danger it will glow
A glimmer can foresee all threats to come
Gone are disbeliefs and doubts
It would be nice, so nice...
Oh, I sayeth, thou art mine true companion
And I hope, thou wilt enter my kingdom
Oh yes, I wish, I really wish
Where from the farthest-seeing senses rule
There is a scroll inside a casket...
Clear blue eyes have worn this outfit
Yes I knew it was no moonshine, it is real
I feel much better
Now I know this spiral shaft
Can possess the brightness of the light
Oh, I sayeth, thou art mine true companion
And I wish
Thou wilt enter my kingdom
Oh, mesmerising unicorn
When if danger it will glow
A glimmer can foresee all threats to come
Gone are disbeliefs and doubts
It would be nice, so nice...
Oh, I sayeth, thou art mine true companion
And I hope, thou wilt enter my kingdom
Oh yes, I wish, I really wish

This is a great song. Just discovered it last night!
The entirety of this album is filled with images of fantasy. I keep wondering if the lyrics and themes were inspired by a book.
Either way, great song. Great album. Great band!
The song is about a woman about to finally lose her virginity. It is filled with sacred religious connotations, and archaic English, as it is significant milestone in a woman's life, dating back to the dawn of humanity. The chapel in the woods is the speaker's private sacred area. The scroll inside the casket represents the lips within the vulva. The speaker's blue eyes have looked at herself for years, anticipating this sacred day. Her dark days of emptiness and loneliness are finally over, and bright light fills her soul (and chapel) as the spiral shaft of the beautiful unicorn (her lover, with his penis) finally enters her kingdom. Now with her new companion, the speaker has someone to rely on, and is protected from danger. Note this song is "conservative" in nature, hence the archaic language and religious undertone.
