i think the song is about a girl that dances ( "I lie in your soothing arms" ) with a man. the song is written from the perspective of this girl. she finds this man amazing and calls him "Lord Hypnos" because the man takes her with the dance in his own world:
"Steep the spiral to your far abode
in the wake of slumber, on visions I rode
and fell like history through the chasm of ages
into the charged, forbidden zones"
"How I have searched
through a million worlds and faces
yet unaware, I have not found
my own true face, traceless and profound"
there the girl says that she searched this person shes dancing with "through a million worlds and faces". perhaps she is in love with the man, but she knows she never can get him.
"So, find me in these grandiose halls
where long ago summers eternally fall
and tune the strings of truthful longing
to the frozen music of gods"
while shes dancing with him she feels saved "in these grandios halls"
the next lines could say that the dancers had a great relationship long time ago, and the girl still wants to be in this relaionship, but knowing that its over.
"Hypnagonia´s lucid horizons
play with the yearning I´ve quelled
as I strike towards the Pantheon
and what therein is held"
the last phrases are difficult.
the pantheon is a building in which great men find their last peace. i think the relationship went wrong because the man found new friends.
