I'm not surprised that this is apparently a cover, because this has never sounded like a Therion song to me. The lyrics are so different, and the melody simply isn't the kind Therion is known for. Glad that's explained. One thing I always think of when listening to this song (though there are contradictions--a train, for example) is Odysseus. But I think I just have ancient Greece on the brain.
