1. An Involution Of Thorns
Eko, Azarak
Eko, Eko, Zamilak
Eko, Eko, Cernunnos
Eko, Eko, Aradia
Darksome night and ardent moon
The chalice is passed, then ye fall North
Hearken to the enchantress' Rune
Listen to words to cry ye forth
Earth and water, ether and fire
Wand and pentacle and sword
Toil ye unto our desire
Hearken ye unto our word
Unfettered and censer, scourge and knife
Powers of the enchantress' blade
Waken all ye into life
Come ye as the charm is made
2. Descent To Acheron (Evolving Into The Progression Of Woe)
Pour water on thyself
Thus shalt thou be
A creator of thy dawn
An aurora of the sun
Charon will inhibit his entrance
The fields and dwellings of relapsing ruins
Find thou thyself in every Star
Achieve thou every possibility
Listen! Heed not the siren-voice of thought
The fable of river #5
Deliver me athwart the Earth
Forsaken loam of wondrous slumbers
Thee spiritual and thee fertile
A spawn of full equilibrium
But whose availeth is in this
For thereby there cometh impair
Facilis descensus Acherni
Noctes atque dies patet
Atri ianua Charnus
Sed revocare gradum sperasque
Evadere ad aurus,
Hoc opus, hic labor est.
Repeat 1st Verse
There was not a formal sepulcher
Not one sector for the interment
Troth with thee Empire of hope
All effects are welcome to Styx
3. An Equinox Of Fathomless Disheartenment
Ecliptic sects are obtained by fluxions
Phenomenon of the Holy Qabalah
Will intervene with the serpent of Daath
The inmost godhead of Phallus
Deems the temperament of Kan and Yi King
Ancient attitudes of equipoise
Drastic seasons of ceremonial permutations
There is not a creation in the firmament
The direction to conduct an angels choir
I'm still pleading to the heinous-eyed cherubim
To see this bemired vesture of waste
Equinox!
You are the force of Lotus
And The Path of life
The Venus in my Cancer
And consolidation of the dyad
You are the strict joy of ecstasy
And the power of yellowish light
Luster the Garden of Kundry and cover Laetitia
4. The Thrice Is Greatest To Ninnigal
The detestable Xul
Is chained to Ninnigal
Acknowledge the prayers
Subsequent to Earth
The Seventh gate of Nana
"Outcry thy sin!"
While the Sixth portal of Lord Mastema opens wide
Disengage thy passage
Nana: God of the Moon: I convoke to thee
Our terra firma regrets burning the scriptures
An abyss will seek menace towards the reign once again
Ostentation of your heart is a heart filled with lunar parallaxes
If you look
The elders anticipate the arrival
...Of the black and amoral innocents
If you look
The Celestial Pantheon will burn
...Burns the prediction of persecution
5. Infinite And Profane Thrones
As we journey over to the summit
We hear the echoes of dispossession
Who is to worry about our affliction
When my body departs from the shame
The wickedness! - My sinfulness!
You may swell to the Elysian fields, but the Befall of Marduk will trace the literal truth
The Utuk Xul! - Wine's Holy Fool!
Whereby to capture and atone the clouded soul
The weeping apparition
Looks for duration
Conjectures of being vulgar
Then godless ways
Euphony sounds the sanctum bell
I will structure the ordained spell
Guide the mistress versus the throne
Here's the first seed of the inquisition
Black lake current sailed past the rushes
Dismal heights will melt the scarlet snow
I'll give my sorrow to the lady in white
"O' pale flower, you'll feel the vein in depth"
The wanderers of the eroded
The Gates of Ganzir!
The Magnum Opus
The Xenolith!
Monuments of a vanquished civilization
A cenotaph of theomorphic conjurations
Sempiternity to the ones of our underworld
Archetypal images awaits the declivity
Infinite and profane thrones
Abysmal sighs of the damned
Feel the intention by depressing your own God
6. Fantasizing To The Third Of The Pagan Vision [Quoth The Sky, Nevermore (Act II)]
I stood before my reflection
With a beloved adherent
Waiting beneath the cross for a purpose
To drink my tepid blood from the chalice
Impart thou in the text of Scourge
And cleft through the veil of the Virgin
Purity is to live
To the Highest; and the Highest is unjust
Chorus
Fantasizing to the Third of my Gentile sight
In the gale of the mind appears,
And arise with turbulence called I
Repeat Chorus
The artfulness of the blind Shabbathai
For thee have I worshipped the Stars
I cried, while you perpetually died
.....On top of Black Montanus of thy Septentrio
Animus of an aged Tetragrammaton
With stains, a lucid cicatrix of disgrace
With joyful, elated Endeavour
O’ lilywhite goat
Frail as a thicket of thorns
With a collar of gold for thy throat
A crimson bow for thy horns
O’ lilywhite goat
You made my Paganal dreams erroneous
7. An Evolution Of Horns
Goat of the welkin, A Goat that dwells
Horned conqueror of the night
Lend your skill unto the spell
And force our will by magi(c)k rite
By all the endowment of land and sea
By all the might of moon and sun
As we do will, so mote it be
Chant the spell, and be it done

1. Apzu
Sea of Uruk
I taste the salt of you
I hunt through sands of Roba El Khaliyeh
Dumuzi Apzu
Your allure is so very pure
Zi Dingir Anna Kanpa
You shall drown the fearless ones
The sword of Lapis Lazuli Diadem
Your fullness and strength is my delight
Edin Na Zu, Edin Na Zu
The stars have spoken to me
They've told me the tale of your past
Battles were clashed by you
Long before the cosmos existed
O' mountains of Mashu
Please help me to find the grey stone
I lost it, yet it's symbol unequals your race
I am in search of the Northern Nineveh; it's beyond the hills of Zagros
I thrust my sword onto the veil, and then, in the Earth
Reversed lightning strikes Sumerian sands
They glance at me with eyes of Sunkun Varloorni
Their eyes flare red with glowing embers
Follow the path of gold and ye shall find the symbols: Arra, Agga, and Bandar
In my sleeping village of Bet Durrabia, Shabatu forces the nineteenth hour
Ye go to thy Apzu; the unsightly abyss of Enidu
Ye go to thy Apzu; the impious axis of Enidu
I have traveled beneth the seas in search of our master's palace
I have finally found the grey stone of the immemorial ones
I have raised my armies in the lands of the eastern, summoning hordes
I have seen Ngga, God of Heathens, as my sword Diadem gleams
The cosmos shall be greeted from the blood of thez serpent
A serpent well known as Tehom Mummu Tiamat
Man shall be greeted from the blood of Kingu
Thy queen of mashu will haunt the vision of your breed
O' my queen, I feel your skin of white, I touch your breasts of life, yet
there's a battle I must fight
Zagros, Avagon, Ngga, Shabatu
Thy skin of white misses you
Please don't leave me ever, nevermore
Unless you go, please take me with you
We'll ride onto wings of Anzu
I heard the bellow of wolves behind the half-burnt waves
The tides of Uruk swept your tongue across the salty floor
We have found the Apzu; our birthplace toward Avagon
We have found the Apzu; our meridian toward the dark

2. Feis Mor Tir Na N'og (Across The North Sea To Visnech)
Across the northern seas, we travel
The cold freezing winds will arouse us
Spells from a woman have sent us to the seas of Avagon
Transformed by our mother, we are
I am CuChulainn, the warrior of Ulster
We'll search the lands to discover the Tir Na N'og
The sea god guides our ship to Ireland
The storms push us to the palace of Visnech
Our swords with fire are rising
Our axes with fire have risen
The call from the silver horn to Visnech splits the air
Warriors answered the horn behind the western lands
Hoofs and steel hammered past the cries beyond the thorned hills
Acknowledging the commands from the king
Our play lies north to the path of Nite
And brings us upon the fortress walls where battles raged
Raise the magick hammer of Mjollnir
Your underworld of Annwvyn draws us through
Emer, thy lucious woman, I shall sleep with you
I kiss the naked skin of white
I lust your black hair, my woman divine
I see a holocaust in your eyes
(You are my princess of live)
(You are my princess of life)
Feis Mor Tir Na N'Og
In the land of Visnech, the darkness never sinks away
All will fall upon the southern steel, yet behind the burning fires
Now, we bathe at the bleeding coast, while women laugh with the Gailant
knights
How sad is it to see my father's fallen halls?
Can I feel the pure blast from the frigid winds?
I awake the gods Epona, Cernunnos, and Lugh
Yes, I'm CuChulainn, warrior fo Ulster
[repeat verse]
In order to worship with fire and sword
The storms shall force us to the palace of Visnech
Cold, cold, how cold are the plains of Lugh?
You should ask thy Emer to reply
We've finally found the last paradise
It remains in the light of Tir Na N'Og
With the hand of Ler, Irish Sea god
We shall complete our long excursion
3. Cyntefyn's Fountain
The dragon's guide is chance
When the waters are disturbed
In the name of the great Pythoness
Cyntefyn burns with the ground
4. A Quest Into The 77th Novel
Long ago
-in the shade of timberlands
Horses and wolves united
-with our invoking orbit
In order to blister
-the green summer plains
We heard commands
-from our benighted master:
"Reap from the illumated sky
...and become visible to thy eye!"
"I beseech thee; I entreat me"
"O circle of storms, my shield is cracked!"
We stand here to cultivate
And summon smoke from the meadow
A sweep of an athame
(The widdershin), willunlock the deep portals
Long ago
-in the shade of timberlands
Horses and wolves united
-with our invoking orbit
In order to blister
-the green summer plains
We heard commands
-from our benighted master:
"Ye overseer of the watchtowers below all clouds; we thank
you for framing the Rite of Hagiel. Bygone and beyond, we
must always and without ease, be explused.
The season or solstice is complete when the shepherd of
Wolves lie upon vanishing hill's way. We shall lure thy
lost flock from shadows onto day.
Aloneness is our space of winged sleep and sight; therefore,
watchtowers burn before the lift of the twilight"
5. Our Lust For Lunar Plains (Nox Luna Inlustris)
[Instrumental]
6. The Coming Of War
Evil
Summoned to war
Eternal conquest for power
Gathering armies of death
To fight and kill at will
Sinister weapons of war
Piercing metal and man
Warriors
Mounted on steeds
Ride out into the mist
Awaiting
The signal to attack
Swords clash and men fall to their death
Aimless pawn
Only to die by my hand
Battle cry
Blood stains upon his chest
Endless
Eternal Pain
Thousands die for a king
Wretched
Weary souls
Raging battle never ends
Hatred
Inflicting death
Destroying the weak at heart
Eternity
Becomes less
War has drawn to an end
Overthrown
The emperor falls in defeat
Great halls
Crack and decay with neglect
Dethroned
He cries out in vengeance
Impaler
Mark is words of death
Shadows
Crusades of the past
Triumph through the fog
Sunsets drip into dusk
Flows like blood on my blade
Massacre the feckless breed
Dismiss all empty thrones
Riding, beyond the clouds, damnation ends in despair
Awaiting
The signal to attack
Swords clash and men fall to their death
Aimless pawn
Only to die by my hand
Battle cry
Blood stains upon his chest
7. The Sun Of Tiphareth
Join us into thresholds of moonless light
Xekonaphim paints your worshipped wheel of flames
Incendere Magi Hortus Rosarum
Black roses, laced with silver, are now the ashes of Heximeth
The sten stars of Assiah wonders why the meadows are torched
The holocaust of Atu brings down the pyre of Chokmah
Chokmah fills lust into the virgin stream (silent waters)
A Heximethian spirit looks below the edge of a cliff
...and watches the thieves of serpents
(worm of the eight-fold-star)
Join us into thresholds of moonless light
Xekonaphim paints your worshipped wheel of flames
Incedere Magi Hortus Rosarum
The sun of Tipareth's circle arouses the warlock and seed
Sephiroth plants your heart to grow his oak of VITRIOL
Sepher Yetzirah is the deepest root of Atu
the sun of Tiphareth's circle dances until it falls
Tiphareth!
Your lordship is the sixth sword that triumphs teh jagged blade
Strike it downward to a rusty point
...and burn the earth as roses burn in the meadow
"Come forth, o serpent, and take your fill of poison"
I am above you and I am inside you
My fierce eroticism is in yours
"For he is ever a sun, and for he is the winged secret flame"
I am the snake that kissed Gehenna's own worm
I giveth knowledge and delight to the ones
Black roses, laced with silver, are now the ashes of Heximeth
The ten stars of Assiah wonders why meadows are torched
The Third Storm Of Cythrául
1. ...And Shineth Unto The Cold Cometh...
Laughter from Esharra is convincing, but unclaimed.
The last of Ka drifts across the river
- Our sky outside has not been named.
Two Ugalla-demons start their battle
- Tempest of the creek is floored in flames.
Winds of Imhullu foretold their weather
- Sea-dwelling floods reply without names.
Taste the salty tides of the Apzu
- Alight seven tablets wearing steel of lame.
Laughter from Esharra is convincing, but unclaimed.
Chorus
6000 years past away to let the Utu tribes hear the lying words against
Azzta's truth.
6000 years past away to let the Utu tribes hear the lying words against
Azzta's truth.

We are the ones who know the mountain passes,
and we'll search the battlefields,
in order to FIND THE ESSENTIAL WEAPONS corroded within the tan dust.
Marduk, Anu, Ellil, and Ea watch us all to test our bold and drastic strength,
so Tiamat SNEERS WITH THE HATE AND COMMANDS the storm-chariot of the horses.
Their teeth and heart carry poison to strike us down,
but cannot fill our veins with venom.
We warned you twice:
"WE COMMAND THE MUSHUSSU!"
"SHARP OF TOOTH AND STRIKE OF FANG!"
"HORNED SERPENT OF THE UNCLAIMED!"
"SHINE!"
2nd Verse
Make a path, fix the hour, and raise the seed
The dragon's semen is what you drink to be crowned by night
"Belet-ili, O great pythoness, kiss me!"
"Belet-ili, O great pythoness, kiss me!"
With the billowing fog, the abyss speaks below
Your wings of force cannot warp you through the times
"Belet-ili, O great pythoness, caress me!"
"Belet-ili, O great pythoness, caress me!"
In the ninth aeon, Esharra ceases the laughter
Then, Imhulla assembles the blazing cycllone
"Belet-ili, O great pythoness, embrace me!"
"Belet-ili, O great pythoness, embrace me!"
Now you are spiritually drunk from the dragon's semen,
So set your arrow in the bow and coat it with the poison
"Belet-ili, O great pythoness, clutch me!"
"Belet-ili, O great pythoness, clutch me!"
...AND SHINETH UNTO THE COLD COMETH...
2. Highland Tyrant Attack
"You will hear my commands when cries never fade!"
"I grasp my pole-ax in hand with stock, steel, and mace!"
"I clutch the soulless winds that stir the Ginger trees!"
"I extol beneath a wrathful, yet a constant lunar eye!"
The last clash will crown one son to the Pictish throne.
"My father's the king!" cries this tyrant, aimed for bloodshed.
Three flags will fly between the Esk and Dee rivers.
"The triumph's my king!" screams this baron son, devised for war.
Follow the tracks of this mailed horseman (geared with pole-ax in his hand).
The blades from Balkan Hills are sharpened (cut for slaying and whetted to
fight).
The child has proven his gallantry (he shall not abuse Teutonic codes).
He's spiked and sent forth in a frenzy (their king sits at his table).

"We'el pursue to spit on their pledge and curse them, as the light breaks!"
"...But is our king still sitting at his table?"

Black fuckin' leather is my way of life, as flames and burning winds cover the

Miles of frozen lands are far behind us...
We ride along the margin of the woods.
O' great is the black swords of Eire.
Thus to speak is the shame of your lord.
We ride through the bleak winter skies; hearts full of hate and steel shining
bright!
Alas, it's ill, to walk in my shadow...
O' master of doom, you are alone.
In chariots of fire we went forth,
To call the spell of blazing flames.
My black sword of Eire has returned.
In glory, of the land, of the flame.
Child of wisdom and words...
Son of magick and the sword.
Call the spells of burning winds!!

5. The Winter Zephyr (...Within Kingdoms Of Mist)
One silver cloud collapsed below the glow of a harvest fullmoon.
`Cause we're here to make an oath and we'll raise our realm in a sky of maroon.
Our stratosphere turned dark; however, the Western winds never stopped blowing.
All deceiving religions fall, we'll gonna close our hands, and make our own
way.
Chorus x 2
Ignite the wroth flames -
3 fires to the sky
Before the violence,
We'll rape the peace.
We stand before the most, wild beast.
Once again,
We summon you,
To join us all!
Standing upon the sand of the shores was a Queen, with a crown, of 13 stars.
She worships the dragon above, which exalts impiety in that wild beast.
Our father is here with us and we'll summon you to join us.
If we're bonded by jewels and blood on our fists, then we hail you within
kingdoms of mist.

A barbaric land where the sword is the law, and killing is the way of life.
An infernal wasteland and down a barren plain; A warrior stands the test of

His face is cracked from the wicked hands of time, and scars from war have
past,
Taking the reins from a shadowy steed, I shall kill the foyus at it's layer!
Chorus x 2
MORBID SCREAM!
2nd Verse
Skulls and bones lie relics in the sand; Remembrance of men that came before.
The ground is scorched from the dragon's breath, and corpses burned to stench

Our barbarous laws, my thundering axe, yet we'll fight the beast to it's death!

Two spheres are calling me to the "grounds" where I use to plead.

So, let me form the contours of your trance and lament with the virga that

Sapphire flickers of light divorce the leaves from an Oak.

Outside the winter zephyr,
When fables of sabers were strong.
"...For thou hast said in our hearts..."
"...From Celtic flames, we are born."
The Sky Clad flocks a carnal war,
So invoke their heartless cries.
"Crom Croich's at our side."
"He's made of gold, so shall we ride?"
From the mounts of Antrim,
Towards the glens of Visnech.
"...For thou has said in our hearts..."
"...From Celtic flames, we are born."
Any who live alone,
Long onlt for mercy.
"Proud, young men will die!"
"Fir Bolg rides the half light!"

From an empty house...
In take-flight, the grey hawks verged upon a sunless sky
Wild, whistling winds carried them sorely, and sailed them bristly in the same shady sky.
In take-ground, branded the mark of hall and heave; their martyrs never left

Chorus
"We'll kneel towards the foyer with our precious salz!
We'll sound with horn, clash with wood and cleave with calls!
We've whittled the blades of Hallstattian swords!"
In order to see such a legacy, fire burned with a past that turned;
Anvils were forged at an early stage, molded as cats or iarn-leastair.
Ioldanach has spied on this mistery, yet he's enkindled by the light
With hues of argent lightning and ore of purem the salt grants them mastery and might.

4. Never Blow Out the Eastern Candle
Never Blow Out The Eastern Candle
Your five-fold kiss was rather invoking;
Beside the chancel is your unphallic wand,
And use it wisely in order to fly.
MOONFIRE!
ALLAXITOS!
My jewel is the lust from your kiss;
Your breasts made me the lover of the three-fold locus,
So take thy hand and join me for elixir,
And we shall ride the portentous serpent tonight.
Your five fold tongue has defiled me,
I'm stranded by the tree of Storax
Thus, we banish your unphallic wand,
In order to make our nexus ecstasy
MOONFIRE!
CUM TO ME.
ALLAXITOS!
CUM WITH THEE.
NEVER BLOW OUT THE EASTERN CANDLE!
NEVER BLOW OUT THE EASTERN CANDLE!
NEVER BLOW OUT THE EASTERN CANDLE!

2. Pillars Of Mercy
Cairn Warrior's Atrocious Assertion to War
I (still) admire the flow of echoing horns.
Mimicking blows so boldly, I hear...
I stand visibly, high, on this splendid bastion,
To remember a High King, a tyrant of no fear
I am the first son: a commander without a father,
"Fortuitous doom," the last of his predictions.
I'll take advantage by igniting the balusters...
Preparing enraged flames with sweltering speed.
Chorus I - Cairn Warrior and Art Aenfer's War Exclamation (High King of Tara)
(THESE ARE THE) PILLARS OF MERCY!
Today, I am callous...
Tomorrow, I am king -
Immortal, strong, exultant, and conquering!
Chorus II
PILLARS OF MERCY!
My song and my word are iniquitous -
Gathering assemblies in days gone by!
Chorus III
(FIRE BURNS WITH THE) PILLARS OF MERCY!
My chariot races through saw-toothed hills,
And hurls through every valley and mere!
Chorus IV
PILLARS OF MERCY!
Watchtowers collapse before the lift of the twilight,
I am swift in battle-
My voice is heard!
PILLARS OF MERCY!
Frost, fire, and wind are pelting all the columns...
There is no dilution for them to fight again!
Only three chariots are seen on the charred plains -
Through all the throngs and clusters, lambs and stallions!
"If you should speak to me now,
Then I will chamber Tara's pinnacle.
Why my father? Another damning scuffle?
I (still) admire the sound of echoing horns!"
Chorus V - Cairn Warrior and Art Aenfer's War Exclamation (High King of Tara)
(THOSE WERE THE) PILLARS OF MERCY!
Frenzied vultures gnawed the necks of dead men,
As the sturdy, gilded columns had seethed!
Chorus VI
PILLARS OF MERCY!
Enemies' blood spurted like volley sprigs-
The blustery fight was planned, then fought!
Chorus VII
(FLAMES FLAYED ON THE) PILLARS OF MERCY!
Their vapid minds were troubled and sides were pierced-
And warlike deeds had been fulfilled!
Chorus VIII
PILLARS OF MERCY!
We saluted chieftains on the regal Tara -
We hailed the tyrants that governed our waters!
PILLARS OF MERCY!
STRIKE!
Terminus
There shall be no lack of dignity,
For those who oppose them.
Repeat Terminus
"THERE WILL BE PILLARS OF MERCY!"
3. A Shield With An Iron Face
Mongán
A Cairn warrior dressed in his harness feeling fury and frenzy.
His silky top had blood stained gauze stretched across his pecks.
His tartan had lines of symmetry running east and west.
An embellished shield with an iron face was embraced in his left hand.
Bridge - Eremon (Chieftain of Cairn)
"I welcome thee, o' victorious, I'm skirmishing...at the lift!"
"I welcome thee, o' victorious, I'm skirmishing...by the dark!"
Mongán
He rushed to feed the fire,
As honor gained him a home -
He veered beyond the pyres,
The Son of Cairn sat enthroned.
An iron shield gaped toward the sky,
With oak wood and leather backing;
Reprisal lead the way to his mind,
And so it did.
Cairn Warrior's Question of Vindication
"Cá bhfuilimid ag dul amarach?" ("Where are we marching tomorrow?")
Chorus - Ioldánach
A shield with an iron face gapes towards the sky,
The death of a man is never going to die.
A resolute falcon gawks back at the armor -
On the wing, yet on the lifting hour.

So I proudly state this spell has begun!

Stones of power within ire
are strong stones of cabal.
I am joined int he magick round,

Make my pathway carved and clear.
Give me a code that's no will of mine,
To show me your presence is here!
Repeat Cairn Warrior's Second Myaltic Rite

Courtly witch of the beast -
Courtly bitch of the daring arm,

That will unlock the spell...
Courtly witch, assist me!

Circulate: limpid-forming tears

The cosmic light is fading, as the shadow's won."

8. From Ancient Times (Starless Skies Burn To Ash)
Blazing to their pikes
Turning to dust
Gusting with the wind
They (still) dream of an older delusion
Reigning, raining
Dampening the empire
Their excursion burns with the ashes
Calm lakes mirrored
Glistening everywhere
They rove through the waters and fires
Silent seas paused
Enlightening low light
Their visions for imperishability
The weakened flesh
Expecting downfall
Their ashes spread through lightless, starless skies
The Eminence
Not expecting wind
They (now) think of a newer illusion
Chorus
PRAISE - The ancient times
AS EARTH - Equates their end
COMMAND - The ancient times
LIKE TARA - Shall never pretend
DIES - Irae, dies illa
QUIDQUID - Latet adparebit
NIL - Inultum remanebit
DEPOSE - Towards ancient times
Repeat Chorus

12. Stone Of Destiny (...For Magh Slécht And Ard Righ)
We are three high kings in honor.
We are the midst of Dagda's spell -
We are three armored forces, and
We are the gold-torqued leaders.
Three wild horsemen:
Three fearless in combat -
Three gold-crowned conjurers of clash, yet
Three clannish chiefs from the Kingdom of Midhe...
The leading, foremost tyrant -
The subsequent tormentor, and
The past intimidator of Cythrául
Are impending.
"Has there ever been a better idol than Dagda?
Will there ever be a better icon than myself?"
"In the eyes of myself, I fervently speak."
The trio goes out at dawn.
Fiercely, we plan to fight our assailants:
Three of us versus three thousand: complete.
"In the eyes of myself, I adroitly scream!"
"WE WILL ARRIVE AT THE STONE OF DESTINY." (Tara)
"WE WILL REACH THE PERDITION OF IBID." (Cythrául)
INVINCIBLE: we are to their spears!
INTREPIDLY: we occupy our posts!
A FORECAST OF DESTINY!
INVISIBLE: they are to their hands!
INSOLENTLY: they amuse their own pride!
INTERCHANGEABILITY: INNERCHANGEABILITY!
"With the sway of myself, weather means disaster.
I affirm each day for the men of the brave."
Repeat Verse
As our swords of steel, their mead, and courage are fused.
Is it not the throne for our Master of the Gulch?
On its trim are rings of pearls, polished.
One seat remains near the jaded citadel.
First Supposition - Narration
"The plains of adoration do lie somewhere below Tara, way below Tara, as a matter of fact.
Sometimes give as Moyslaught and as always, Crom Cruach is welcomed."
"With the sway of myself, weather means disaster.
I affirm each day for the men of the brave."
Final Supposition - Narration
"The notorious Klan stands by the ramparts at Tara where all enemies are approaching.
Being bound by a geis, the three have no choice but to stand against the feeble units.
Enveloping in an opaque mist, they suddenly find themselves in a magical place where they are
received by the deity Manannán and a courtly witch. Finally, they begin to walk up the steep
grassland of Tara, with wand and sword, which enables them to distinguish the truth from the lies."
It is the chair for our Master of the Tor.
It is embellished with bullion: marked.
It remains on top of the lofty mound.
It streams gray and silver lining.
It will be an accolade given to us.
That is, by the third of the last king.
13. Tara (Recapitulation)

Absu
1. Between The Absu Of Eridu & Erech
An empty void will always enlarge itself
It stretches from the nether waters inside
As the chaos lives again: vapors condense
Ushum-Gal allots the beasts to the chantry
Eridu!
Erech!
The waters twist and turn
The malign sprite dances
The natural fiend strikes
The bottom of the sea
How deep the engulfment sleeps?
And the chasm, how deep?
How deep the engrossment haunts?
And the gulch, how deep?
The bedlam is always wide awake
And the chaos alive
Between The Absu of Eridu:
It will call the temples
The bedlam is always wide awake
And the chaos alive
Between The Absu of Erech:
It will call the mountains
The bedlam is always wide awake
And the chaos alive
Between The Absu of Eridu:
It will call the temples
The bedlam is always wide awake
And the chaos alive
Between The Absu of Erech:
It will call the mountains
An empty void will always enlarge itself
It stretches from the nether waters inside
As the chaos lives again: vapors condense
Ushum-Gal allots the beasts to the chantry
2. Night Fire Canonization
Remember!
Remember the drift of the night's fire?
Where the flames run around with desire
Blazes spread to the fore charring the foe
Granting the competence and burning all
The headmaster of magicians is
The serpent-king and the slayer
The possessor of the torches speaks
To the night with desire
The night's fire dances to a song of fall and wonder
The sultry weapon that calls you here now
The majesty is the power
Which corrupts the offspring (the paltry)
That shall never transpire
And always be denied
That shall never transpire
And always be denied (be declined)
The sun is sable
The moon is weeping
The planets are failing
As the earth starts to shake
The flames look secure
Within all the chaos
The fire sounds safe
Like a voice from the sky
The keys to hereafter
The flaxen-crimson embers
The symbols and the signals of
Destruction and withering
A night's fire is
The portrait of what was
Of what is
Of what is to come
So we shall singe them and
We shall burn them and
We will destroy them to
Remember the pith of the night's fire
The night's fire torches hatred to stone
As the sun turns cold
The stars fall fast and
The earth turns black
3. Amy
Many became the victim of the hunt
and attack
Inside the Order was a ruse for the fall
A greater key was used to open the portals
Afterwards, mages were allocated
underneath
He practiced his knacks and skills of trickery
Most malicious, he became revolting
Spirits were locked inside the mirrored vestibule
The Circle was ambushed by cornered, lined frontiers
Grabbing a staff, he waited for the practical
Dressed in the robe, he adjured the Circle
(Faultless seal, a greater key, ascendancy)
"O' Amy, you're the foremost of sphere and space"
"O' Amy, you're the foremost of fortune and splendour"
He saw and aloof principle as one being
Most sharp-eyed, he watched day transfigure
to the night (from the fire, combustion)
The mages self-sustained the beckon (summoning)
Studying bleak matter tied to obscured strings
A morph-genetic field of imps disturbed then
And the lesson was a ruse for the fall (combustion, ascendancy)
4. Nunbarshegunu
The old woman of Nippur
Instructs Ninlil to walk the banks of Idnunbirdu
She thrusts he magic (k)
To harvest the mind of the great
mountain-lord Enlil
The bright-eyed king will fall to your anguish
His soul lures the hexagonal room
He who decrees fates - his spirit is caught
His soul lured to the hexagonal room
Nunbarshegunu
A silk veil strewn over you
Your face is the cosmos
You hide it in shame
The lord of fates enthralled
He's bound to Ninlil
The lord of fates enthralled
He's bound to Ninlil
Your daughter, your weapon
You want to be the cosmos!
No shame, no limits
Mother of Ninlil acts
Lord of the fates deluded
To Kurnugi, Enlil is cast
Sin is conceived in the monarchy of death
The dynasty persists: the lunar god comes
to life!
Nunbarshegunu
A silk veil strewn over you
Your face is the cosmos
You hide it in shame

O' formless, lifeless mock - your gray place
Thank you, O' Great Ones
Now, Kuta's repressed
My solar cantrip...
My fourteen afreets...
Anon, Gudua's placed
[Narrator:]
Three embraced each other
Namtar, Nergal and Mars
The truncheon gripped the light
Command - the bolts were shot
12. Ye Uttuku Spells
ANNIHILATE - the seeds of real
ABANDON - the standard dimension feel
ASSIMILATE - the logic of chaos
ABSU - Balance the serpent
At nightfall, burgundy eyes arise
Beginning of the cosmic dances
Surrealistic, the serpent's command
Ugallu, obey the magus' rule
ANNIHILATE - the seeds of real
ABANDON - the standard dimension feel
ASSIMILATE - the logic of chaos
ABSU - Balance the serpent
A frenzied rupture opens the stone
Out pours the beam and the shaft of light
Point it straight to the mountain's zenith
Ye Utukku awake, Utukku
ANNIHILATE - the seeds of real
ABANDON - the standard dimension feel
ASSIMILATE - the logic of chaos
ABSU - Balance the serpent
Unrestrained, the light razes the night
Savage, causer of the mystical
Bring the Ginyaatlie of lava
Achieve theory from the mythical
Nisir - Tedloonetaa of salvation
Nisir - Mountain of elevation
Kukhwa - Burn over the dome
Ye Utukku awake, ye Absu rage
ANNIHILATE - the seeds of real
ABANDON - the standard dimension feel
ASSIMILATE - the logic of chaos
ABSU - Balance the serpent
ANNIHILATE - the seeds of real
ABANDON - the standard dimension feel
ASSIMILATE - the logic of chaos
ABSU - Balance the serpent

Abzu
1. Earth Ripper
1st Verse
Invoking frequently, formless fires altered states
The Sun’s flares drenched the land beyond the seas (stars abide not)
Celestial disturbance caused sweeping climate changes
The dryness, pestilence was firstly observed by Ea
Chorus
The Earth ripped
Concords were lost
The Earth cleaved
Distress was fostered
The Earth wrenched
Closing rived skies
The Earth cracked
Life and death vacuumed
All Time crushed back into unblest everlastingness
The Plenum’s overwhelmed by the sphere’s desolation
Periapts and symbols warn of an impending spate
All of Anunnaki fled in broad trepidation
Repeat Chorus
3rd Verse
There is no hope in preserving
The globe’s swollen from the crumbling
It’s distended and withdrawing
Repeat 3rd Verse
Bridge
From the confines of space, the terrain collapsed…
Hath passed, golden twilight dropped before faces
Repeat Bridge
Repeat 1st Verse
Repeat Chorus
The Earth ripped
Concords were lost
The Earth cleaved
Distress was fostered
The Earth wrenched
Closing rived skies
The Earth cracked…
2. Circles Of The Oath
1st Verse
I stand in the center of the summit sphere
I wait for the sound of the clouted bell – the warning sign
This vagueness has not been named,
Yet I see hands which testify the vow
Exposing the uncalled, unknown and unsettled
My destinies marked!
Chorus
I confirm vigor of the Wise by stealth
With this spell, non-foul, creating combustion
I form the glow
Of the Oath, circles are blood and birth renewed
How keen the free star prevails – a strike of thrust
I forever reach
I seek doubled chains of Orgia’s durableness!
Repeat Chorus
I’m told by the garlanded that Atu and Tiphareth…
I’m told by the conquering they remain introducing:
The mentors of the Above
The forgers that speak Below
The savants of the Numbers
The solders of the Circuits
Decree
I’M
AEONS TENABLE
MARK MY WORDS
OF THE OATH
SEVEN
I’M
TREASURES TO THE STONE
HEAR MY LEAD
IN THE OATH

3. Abraxas Connexus
Vitriol = Abraxas = Xnoubis = Meithras
Visita = Sun = Heart = Gold
Interiora = Moon = Brow = Silver
Terrae = Mercury = Crown = Mercury
Rectificando = Jupiter = Navel = Tin
Invenies = Mars = Sacral = Iron
Occultum = Venus = Throat = Copper
Lapidem = Saturn = Base = Lead
By the sevenfold process, V.I.T.R.I.O.L reigns
No one can distress its southern point
By the evidence, nature delivered two
No one can disrupt their dual symmetry
Stare towards the heart – stare at the stone
Your eye unveiled – your nucleus
Writhe on the mace – skim on the throne
Your vessel sealed – your inmost light
They are Mercurial, active, both close at hand
It is balance of the hidden stone
One must never know more than the other
It is of knowledge: Prima Materia
Chorus
Saturn follows lead – ABRAXAS of draught
Eye of Asaru
Seventh is the root – Vitriolistic base
The triad and the position of Stone
Saturn follows lead – ABRAXAS of draught
Seed of Asaru
Seventh is the root – Vitriolistic base
The formulary of Tria Prima
Heart of bullion – the golden sun
The silver moon with distinct brow
Crown of the crown – thee – Mercury
Jupiter’s tin knifed in navel
Ironed by the rouge, sacral Mars
Throat of Venus glazed with copper
Repeat Chorus
4. Skrying In The Spirit Vision
East
Invoking: the breaking forth of the light
Instruments: forms of the coarse flames
Aeons of a bornless beyond:
Listen to the voice of Angle!
Devotion
Ever-burning lamps
West
Traveling: the Radix of vibration
Projections: in gale of the Ninth
Stirs of the invisible
Feel four-hundred fifty six winds!
Metatron
The wisdom of the breath
North
Emerging: advent of the visible
Conjectures: adventures into the chasm
Limpid with the brilliance below
Drenched and sodden: inundating
Quadrangle
An excess: abundance
Servants of thunder, they all deliver
Pulling together, all subquadrants fail
South (Dominated)
The speech in silence sounds the Third Angle
Drawn into naught, the points are now quashed
Hath passed and pure gold, the Lion of the Light appears before the faces of Aethyrs
Chorus
Folk of fear will drive
Astral planes toward the fade of age
Time is thronged by time
Skrying in the spirit vision

OODIORG
He of fire and justice
DOANZIN
He who names the waters
GAHTZA
HOATH
Repeat Chorus
5. Ontologically, It Became Time & Space
Yawning benthos came first, terra firma, next Desire
Erebus of old Night, Day of Aethyr
Neither of these were Being, reality, nor Non-being
Perdurability, neither of death
Chorus
The Wanderers of the Waste infested plateaus:
Time and Space
Then, Sirius prearranged calendars of lone
Continuum
Astral sketch was not self-incandescent
Its light was produced by rays of the Sun
Eyeless void felt generations of heat
The first seed of Mind – The Light of the South
Breath by itself
Without wind, pyramids…
Concentrated
Cyclic flux, triangles…
Air nor Earth nor were protected as of yet.
The water was not deep, yet unfathomable
Nonentity occurred
Darkness swathed in darkness: unmanifestation
Decree
CHAOS NEVER DIES
SOTHIS HIDES BEYOND THE AEON
LOCKED FOREVER
UNFALTERING
The Sun behind the Sun spawns twin aspects of tide
Up, down was beginning to frame itself
Casters of the second seed gained control. (of the Deep)
Energy was beneath - impulse above.

I sought after gold, but I found it not
My rules are found by the Conclave of Ur
I am the coxswain, as I shall valiantly face the dangers
With my chariot, I am declared!

I discover its foundations require cavernous mining in the primal basis
Enlil exhumes my unearthing and makes a sudden decision after Anu arrives
Chorus II x2
SHAR SHADI IL ENLIL ANA KAKKAB SHU GI IKABBI
B
You are falling into the squalls
Spirit fills itself with the tint of the teaching
Messengers of Namtar drink from your toxic well
And sink in the flood of black miasma - drunkenness
Chorus
You are neither male nor female
Don’t break the pledge of the zephyr
The broad corrals, high enclosures…
A myriad of portals
Evil it is: Nanna is nigh
Tear the wives from embrace of man
Snatch the child from knees of mothers
Opening the flaps of time

At last, my slog is Home to the Tides
Tablet of Fate obtained
As once, my trek is deftly guided
Blue-hued Antu: our way

1. Amenta: Accelerando: Azyn including Hierophantasmal Expounder
[Colin-Tocquaine/Givens/Gonzalez] {3:46}
Verse I
Cloud–compelling, slit in twain! Sharpening the stone! He is the catalyst Octinomos
Caduceus, staff in hand! Hypermnesia! Two adders: one white and one black
Grade of logos, hark in twain! Echoing the words! He is the mirage of the Treble Will
Silver tippet, switch in head, Cataplexia! Double quills: one dull and one sharp
Verse II
His necrophageous force appears, in the temper, under a certain guise:
His meritorious exposé bares the wisdom over a murky bize
Verse III
Uttermost, unity proves the gemmed azure is naked
He outshines with expenditures of energies
Futhermost, amity veils his serpent-soul divided
He misshapes back to indrawn criticality
Chorus I
Entereth between the myth
Uttereth betwixt the mouth
Exiteth between the Ma’at
I am the Phantasmal Expounder
Exiteth between the naught
Uttereth betwixt the night
Entereth between the Nox
I am the Hierophant Agitator
Verse IV
Over certain guises, in fits of ire, his mortification force appears
The stélé of his exposé
Verse V
Uttermost, unity proves the gemmed azure is naked
He misshapes back to indrawn criticality
Chorus II
Entereth between the Beth
(And the star of Set)
Uttereth betwixt Ma’at
(O’ Sirius)
Exiteth between the Moth
(The falling Sothis)
I am Hierophantasmal
Conclusion
Over certain guises, the force appears

2. Esoterically Excoriating The Exoteric
[Dorian/Givens/Williamson] {4:36}
Verse I
By the power of the sacred dreaming, and, within the conclaves
The lights of the body are the eyes; therefore, they are glimmering
Elision/Supposition I
Extrication from the thralldom
Verse II
Oily splashes lurking, lapping and licking the rotten timbers of the jetty
Faint green spirals of froth coiling upward on the pillars,
While the hallmark traces the fumes of a spasm awakening
Chorus
Nightmare in the eyes intensify
They wax, increase and they outshine
And still those slippery steps usher down
Down + down = deeper down
Chimera silhouettes the sky: encroaching the scum–laden tide
Verse III
Vapours of paradise, oblique and against the light
The diagonal reaches the pike, yet the parapet’s glacis height
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Verse III
Verse IV
Infinite billowing
Unlock the brightness it locks
In-betweeness gathers
Casting off disembodied emanations
Frenzy of distraction
Radiance covers flesh
Verse V
Darkening to a silhouette against the pallid, azure sky
The brazen moulding broke away revealing a slab of the squirming worms
Elision/Supposition II
The blare of diffidence is also the voice of Apsû
No gulf too wide, no cleft too deep, flung into lows and goaded onto highs
Elision/Supposition III
No gulch too vast, no rift too broad, churns into depths and narced onto heights
Elision/Supposition IV
Unctuous waters, turbid with dreams degenerate the last baluster
Elision/Supposition V
The blare of diffidence is also the voice of Apsû
Repeat Verse II
Repeat Chorus

3. Quasaric Pestilence
[Eriksen/Givens/Gonzalez] {3:29}
Prologue
Thus dreamt – I brought fresh fevers from the skies to disguise
I’ve known the secret door opening the “Outside” within the other side
Verse I
Thus hallucinated – I was the glare of the red flame
I knew, in presence, I was the Khab within the fervid Khu
Bridge I
Ra–Hoor–Khuit = Current
Verse II
Grappled the East at dawn (Ra)
Crowned art self with splendour of the unremembered
Fronted the South at noon (Ahathoor)
Honoured with the grandeur of the undetected
Verse III
The hawk–headed fey was within the skull of the man
I waxed the purple paean into spatial gateways: an accolade
Ophidian’s flux was made from aged shells
I jinxed an old sweetness, reddish red, to make the grade
Chorus
Tejolingam
Cingulam
Intricate
Deflagrate The Spectres Of The Legion Blessed
Equinox
Noumenon
Exasperate The Shining Ones Of The Pestilence
Bridge II
Nod to thee, o' mighty Kephra! The Sixtystone
Verse IV
Thus delirious – I was the word of the Zainion
I knew, in absence, I was the glyph within the fourfold Deep
Epilogue
Thus slept – I brought malady from the skies to disguise
There was a secret door opening the “Inside” within the other side
Bridge III
Current of Ma’at = Aum Ha
Verse V
Marked by the star from Ixaxaar's lunar womb
I was the inhaled speaker robed with the royal, lion's skin
Aditi, and unity, of Mentu’s force
Known to Lam, with scents and tastes, wrapped in cloth

4. Mirroracles
[Friedman/Givens/Gonzalez] {3:57}
Verse I
Reflecting initiations of a new aeon
Vibrantly, the whole planet must be bathed in blood
Echoing instigations to the pith of mien
Garishly, the sixth sphere must be…
Pre–Chorus
Refulgent < Luminous > Effulgent
Chorus
Oracles are victories of the vision
Visions of the susurrant
Susurrant chanting towards the science
Sciences of Hod’s gumption
Tiphareth and the Daäthian beyond
Beyond the zone of Yesod
Mirroracles are victories of the vision
O’ Lux–Nox: Gnosis: Ojas
Verse II
Ratiocination of the Kalas, I behold myself in crevasse
Existential Manichaeism, I meet myself in otherness
Verse III
The following, specious eiszeits are mauve, grey, black and dazzling white
Each represents light, darkness and the two twilights of shade and mist
Verse IV
They annihilate contingency: routing values, forms and sanity
They trample into nihility like a millipede’s thousandth footstep
Verse V
The mass of the mirror introduces something lowering, fratricidal and tornadic
The dazzling white light gleams like a mass of maggots: it passes with a touch of the spiritual directive
Repeat Pre–Chorus

5. In–Betweeness Gateway Commuters
[Dorian/Givens/Williamson] {5:26}
Prologue
The following formality was the formulae of the wayfaring
Verse I
Founder of the Zonei is the wanderer
Ašimbabbar’s the rank and his seal is first
He bears a staff of lapis–lazuli
Aedo Ooddo
He balances on the trapeze of tides
Ma–ion Marma
As the new moon appears above cloud–mottled skies,
He lauds and celebrates with a gaul–headed masque
Nanna jubilates the wrenching sound of screams
The parchment stamp is wrapped in a square of the finest silk,
Yet decay
He fosters a crown of sixty–six horns
Vide Supra
His essence is of quicksilver
As the inner planet outlines mould–mandalas,
He swoops with the vulture upon spewed carrion:
An interchangeability of the void–forms and their signs
Verse II
Be exorcised (by Nergal’s continuum)
The sole temper (who dwelt in the Cutha)
Be ostracized (by Queen Ereškigal)
O’ Sultana ('twixt stars twin unto sight)
Be unrealized (by Ningišzida’s asp)
The Krone–Bearer (of the intersection)
Be ossified (by Namtar and the eye)
O’ Nagallu (he of the grand array)
Omit the glyphs, of totality, in between the automatic augury
Verse III
Sin flaunts epizeuxis
He brays nocturnal grift
He hauls vast petulance
Sin greets Nychthemeron
No ray of sunlight will strike the seal
No flare of sunlight should strike the stamp
Lest its control be rendered
Verse IV
Namrasit
He steers tautology
He proves pleonasm
Sin meets Nychthemeron
All beams of moonlight shall strike the seal
All shafts of moonlight should strike the stamp
Lest its command be modeled
A “Rebus Sensation” forever links in the “Swapna Dance”
Verse V
Hušbisa, the steward, rings a major hand bell, which tantalizes the pre–abyssal syndrome
Šaršarbid, the butcher, forms a terror congress that intimidates the pre–abyssal syndrome
Ètana, the vizier, allows the eagle to eat the serpent’s children = pre–abyssal syndrome
Verse VI
The Deep Ones had steered Inanna once
The chanting and the glugging of sluggish water combined to contrive twice
The duskiness of the swampland was redolent of mephitic vapours: triplicate
Permutational Vectors
Non–Modality Being
Then, the gateways, in–between, became settled within ancient covenants
Epilogue
“Én–du–gu ka–ga ḫé–gál –
Šìr–gu géštu–ge na–an–dib–bé.
Gu–kur silim–éš du–ga–gá–kam,
Inim ap–sû–ke mu–ši–gá–gá–a–àm.”
Interpretation
“My songs: let them be in your mouths –
My hymns from the knowledge may not fade away.
The objective of my might is praised,
And the words, which Apsû has made, will be available to me.”

Chorus II
Coiled, constricted and chosen
Tortured, twisted and twined

Verse I
Flash forward on the bema’s fire
Fizzling once: hissing thrice: concinnity
Verse II
Bind the charmer
Mingle in the mocking measure and bind the ethos in the tether
Sound the sleeper
Be deference, deity and immortality
Scale the armour
Susurration, faint words and the curved are inferred
The death is the naming of that name
Repeat Chorus I
Repeat Bridge
Conclusion
The bifurcated circles are within the lemniscate

7. Dedicated To Thoth, But Azathoth Wasn’t Listening (A Necroloquy)
[Givens/Gonzalez] {3:28}
Verse I
Hence, Azathoth was not listening, so this is dedicated to Thoth
Eighteen reversed is the number to the Seat of Set or the Stone
“No turning back,” comports the leap, of the Copula Formula
Pre–Chorus
Both idols are enshrined within the nucleus,
But the Starry Wisdom Sect is nowhere to be found
Verse II
Hence, Azathoth was not listening, so this is dedicated to Thoth
The eighty-first instauration is the knurl to a diamond
“Par excellence,” with plate and reed, connects the ensorcellment
Chorus
They share the Hexecontalithos Apotropaism linked to Khem,
But one’s blind whilst the other’s possessing prolific thaumaturgy
Bridge
Agents of the Ubbo Sathla: centralized
They function in the Ibt Al Ghauzi: hypnotized
Two hidden doors to their own source: forgotten
They emerge from swamp quagmires: begotten
Verse III
Hence, Azathoth was not listening, so this is dedicated to Thoth
Eighteen revised is the secant of Taphthartharath
“Shut up and bound,” it is declared, Shiva’s shava without skakti
Repeat Chorus x2

8. Caliginous Whorl
[Givens/Gonzalez/Williamson] {3:22}
Verse I
Thee I evoke, the one
Thee I entreat, the range
Thee, that didst create the shrill stridulation
Thee I raise Ani – Ego
Thee, that didst devise the dextrorotation
Thee, that didst open the quashing ogle
Verse II
Thou art Malkunofat: the lead of all registers
Thou hast the excrement between the just and unjust
Thou art the hulking plyies: abode of the Deep Ones
Thou hast the mesial shell betwixt the grim and the chrome
Chorus
In the stance of thee is the flesh self–containing
Nucleus of the verisimilitude is impure
Habitat Rancor – The Caliginous Whorl
Verse III
Hear thou me, for I am compelling
Hear thou me, for I am leering
Hear thou me, for I skim the spasm of the serpent’s tongue
Here I raise Ayin – Trance – Ego – Vision
Hear thou me, for I wear the mer–masque of practice
Here I raise Khep–Ra – Basque – Apparition
Verse IV
This is the XXIII: the hiss of the Hanging Man
This is the congenital between the coition
Repeat Chorus
Verse V
Immoral Oracle
Exasperating aspirant engrosses me
Skyring
I am He
Casting
I am He
Tracing
I am He
Binding

Querying

9. The Coagulating Respite
[Dorian/Givens/Williamson] {2:44}
Chorus I
I Am Unicursal Menstruum: Prima Materia
Quintessential Acth Vel – Azoth: An Anima
Verse I
Upon the triangulum and atop the tacks of Ararita,
I go and becomest the yare, Lapidem Inaugurator
By the grand Arcanum of the Hexagrammaton,
I give flesh and feeling, carnality, unto Tiphareth
I am the acid that eats, that gnaws into the steel, unto the soul of Sol
Bridge I
From calcination, the welkin hatches the williwaws now
Verse II
I fill the Hexalphas with the inmost oils of V.I.T.R.I.O.L
Through the means of operation and omneity,
Permutation is two and the one is my idiosyncrasy
I am the helical gust, which clambers up the steep of time
Bridge II
From calcination, the welkin propagates the williwaws
To coagulation, I find amity and balance: it is within the hidden stone
Chorus II
White Agglutination: Adeptus Coquetting (The Within)
Incorruptible Passion–Play: Hovering (The Within + The Without)
Post–Bridge
In Kether, all is a festinated impulse
And with Daäth, the hatch between pure impulse and subtle phenomenon is formed (The Within)
Yesod dominates and Tiphareth compensates the Notariqon (Ibid) while Malkuth stroves
It is within the hidden stone

10. Prana: Therion: Akasha
[Dorian/Eriksen/Givens/Gonzalez] {2:47}
Verse I
As I advance to the East plane, I am now borne on these blue wings blazing
I will satisfy Ararita once my prayer tongue licks the scaling triangle
Chorus I
Lapis–Lazuli and the lambent flames are the solvents of two
I shall return to the Centre, and so to the Centre of All
Prana and the immemorial splendour proceed to arise,
Yet the Sapphire of the Star is bovine, there is no light in sight – not in the shrine
Verse II
In the West, Microprosopus connects
As reconciler, I am the one who arbitrates between the ingeniums
Chorus II
Lastly, at Midnight, let me greet the Sun facing front (fronts the sign of his grade)
Let me feel the gibe of the diapason
Gleam in the skies where the chained ones tremble and elope (hope for the Akasha)
Let me brace the luminescence of the crest
Bridge I
Roars from Shedu lead me anon to the central summit of the whispering, Caduceus Order
This writ prepares myself to face the deplorable awe of the Abyss, which lies between Therion and Babalon
Verse III
Teach me to know purgatory, agony, yet to challenge that destiny
Teach me to know silence, forever, as I accomplish the act of extirpation
Bridge II
Heart: Hexagram: Vnvs Devs: Self
Repeat Verse I
Repeat Bridge II

11. Tantrums Of Azag–Kkû
[Dorian/Eriksen/Givens/Williamson] {3:02}
Chorus
Azag–Kkû’s tempest carried forth spume
In those days, he gashed the temporal assembly
His amok mission delivered the di’u–disease
On middays, he bathed the welkin from blue to red
Verse I
Azag–Kkû Kima Mili Naru Ishup
The Azag–Kkû–daemon overwhelmed the people like the flood of a river
Repeat Chorus
Verse II
He trilled and whirled death on the orb like a storm
“Truculent Mehû!” cried the sietch (in essence, a tornado)
Amalgamated sag–gig entered their minds
Verse III
As the land–people were indisposed with the šanadûm–jaundice,
The spuming fardel continued to broadcast malaise
Bridge
Tantrums of Azag–Kkû: Di’u–Šuruppû
Verse IV
The incantations to repulse the acrimonious plaguer failed,
So the death–spirit continued to broadcast malaise
Repeat Bridge
Pre–Chorus
The daemon has infected
The daemon has befouled
The daemon has defiled with maximum, absolute…flout

Provoking The Mantilla
Invoking The Atalaya
Verse I
Heat and expansion draws the air in red fire, (Southern Quadrangle)
As white djinns of the culminating mid–day guard the flaming sword
Cold, contracting wetness makes the blue sign, (West Sextet)
And the grey ghost assists the Adeptus (Graduum Montis)

Akhera Goiti – Akhera Beiti (One Black Opalith for Tomorrow)
Between the sunset's bloodstained veil,
Thy horned prospect reflects on me.
The he-goat above – The she–goat below
Cried through beads of mirrored tears
It fills the air! – It fills the air!
An atmosphere that hath no key.
I'm disguised by the kindle of nite and I can fill your liquid, glass heart
Grasp your cold–shaded breath and whisper the sign of the hidden stone
I'm in the circle and I am the shell that granted you the horns of All–Begetter
A fixed, starless vision and a sullen fabrication cursed the Sun of which our lustful ways are performed.
Bridge
Half of me is all of her
Hath no shower; hath no sol
Half of me is all of her
Hath no shower; hath no sol
Half of me is all of her
Hath no shower; hath no sol

Chorus
Akhera–goiti
Akhera–beiti
Fantasies I realized
Dance of thorns, I thrive
For below the great abyss is a virtue contained in itself.
Repeat Chorus
"We shall eagerly expect one black opalith for tomorrow."
The Gold Torques Of Uláid
“I see you slippin’ away from my sight.
My vision is dwindling, it can’t be the night?”
The chivalrous dragoons race toward the line.
They bring crocks of barley, some honey, and wine.
“I am the Red Knight that charges with might!
I soar like a grey hawk I’ve seen in take-flight!”
The birds of prey land on the bleak river forks.
In their beaks, gripping, are three bloody torques.
It’s sad to remember those sickening years
that shed the tears – TORQUES OF GOLD
A dream of Earth, the dream of Seas,
we rode with spears – TORQUES OF GOLD
We brace ‘em bold – TORQUES OF GOLD
We’re wise, not old – TORQUES OF GOLD
The grey hawks flew in the mild, Southern wind.
The champions of the Red Branch Cycle defend.
“I’m Ross The Red of Ulaidh; I’ve never failed!
I’m the son, father’s the High King; we prevailed!
He saw you slippin’ away from his eyes.
His sight returned, as the night filled with lies.
“I weigh anchor hoist, ocean deep, then set sail.
I search for new Earth, Southern wind, and the gale.
WE’VE BEEN TOLD
YOUR PRIDE WAS SOLD,
SO FACE THE BOLD....
STRIKE!
Proclamation
FAR
...FROM HOME,
WE’RE
...SO FAR.
Hall Of The Masters
YOU HAVE SWIFTLY DISEMBARKED AT THE PASS
You smeared torment amongst all stocks of life
You, the spate, are ghastly for the decayed
You littered while ages past (in)
Mirage of conclave souls
You reverberated mirrors –
Figment of ancient Throk
You, tutor of the vaults, are the
Rash of forbidden forms
You have walked amidst the stars (in)
Glares of pewters
You have prepared
Gates at the Gulf
You, increaser of the pace, are
The Master of time dimensions
Bridge
Supplication of the dream
Granting haleness to the furtive light brigade
Abomination of the bond
Demolishing life's passing cycles in the...
HALL OF THE...
Bleeders will rise from the brume of R'lyeh
Victors will strike in a quicksilver sweat
You gnawed swiftly with scornful bite –
A terror of advent
You have illuminated three,
Perdu mazes
You, increaser of the pace, are
The Master of time dimensions
You stain the sphere of scream and screech
The Master of form and foulness
Chorus
Casting mantles of flesh of outward souls
Charms are torn by the injurious
Doom is at hand from an exposing door
Spawns have torn through the trustfulness
