Serpent Baron

He's the fire that consumes and burns
Half flame, half darkness
Universe creator, artisan of the world
Craftsman of earth!
Born from the depths of the ocean
Whipped by the northern wind
Dwelled on the mountain like a king
Banished to the underworld
Sealed by the burial dust
To abyss he was cast
He's the fire that consumes and burns
Half flame, half darkness
There's burning evil down beneath
I'm standing fearful
Cannot move and cannot breathe
He's crawling from the dark!
Poisoning our hearts
See the evil in his eyes
He's coming
Kills with venom
Behold!
Serpent baron
Can you hear the hissing from below?
Heralding the centuries of woe
He's crawling from the dark!
Poisoning our hearts
Master of his arts
He's coming
Kills with venom
Behold!
Serpent baron
Oh, Serpent baron
Behold!
There's burning evil down beneath
Raising the dead from his teeth!
He's crawling from the dark!
Poisoning our hearts
He will never die
Oh, Serpent baron
Behold!

Striking Solar Force

Wheel of fire between two horns
Rising higher
through the darkened clouds of the storm
Shining bright
Radiating beams of light
Dawning of the sacred arch
Eternal voyage of the solar barge
Illuminating force
Reign supreme
As we worship the sun
Fiery king takes celestial ride
Golden horses
slowly trotting on the azure tides
Majestic star
watching its life from afar
Like a blazing eye
of the ancient father in the sky
We worship the sun
sacrificing to fiery one
He who turns the sky
on the chariot of light.
Conquering the night
with his radiant crown
Blazing, burning
Carrying the torch of life
Apollo, Helios, Dažbog, Belenos
We invoke you
Crowned, enshrined and unconquered one
All hail to you
Seeking in you the wisdom and truth
The eternal source
Apollo, Helios! (Dažbog, Belenos)
Blessed be the striking solar force
We worship the sun
sacrificing to fiery one
He who turns the sky
on the chariot of light.

Sacrificer
04:35
|

|
Every winter he welcomes the new sun
Thanks to his knowledge the ancient ritual is done
His grey hair blowing in the wind
On the altar the blood is spilled
He leads the souls to the underworld
He drives away the death from a mountain's cold
Sacrificer!
From the temple hear the song
The sacrificer is cutting victim's tongue
He invites dead fellows to the sacred feast
He engraves the face of the wooden beast
The one and only
Sacrificer!
Dagger of steel now rise
You are the chosen one
Look into Death's eyes
and welcome the new sun
He's the one who instill a thunder in a heart
By will he ward off evil eye
Illustrious imperishable archon
He ablaze the flame and to the anvil he gives tone
Rhymester of the primordial myths
Guiding the landscape of gods

Sculptures of the Gods

Clay goddess dance
in the dawn of the fertile crescent.
Born of earth and fire
sublimed in tectonic trance.
Sculptures of the gods
Call of the wild
from times of ancient black earth.
Volcanic parade
Precambrian monument rise
Axis mundi
The eternal throne
Worshiped by man
Engulfed in total devotion
Sculptures of the gods!
More than meets the eye
Sculptures of the gods!
The pillars of the sky
Across the ages
there is a transformation
of man into god
Depicted in the shadows
Illuminated by ancient flames.
Clay goddess dancing in the dawn
Of earth and fire she is born
On every day she sits on the axis of the world
Sculptured by man or sculptured by a god?
From mountain's flesh
marked by the hammer of the storms
to erected stelae
on ancestor's burial mounds.
Burned by ancient flames
washed by mythical floods
rising from the shadows
Sculptures of the gods

Sacred metals
In fire they're forged
A wedding of dancing flames
Ancient rite is unfold
"The greatest sacrifice
must be done!
Come my brother! Closer to me.
It has begun."
Praise
the life
of the ancient steel
Devoted by free will
Bonded by blood
Caring 'bout legacy
So much you've got!
Open your mind... and veins
Crystal clear
Reveal your divine nature
That's what you revere
Praise
the life
of the ancient steel
Victim slayed
on altar bed
Majestic marriage begun
Flames are burning
in a forge of death
Dagger held high towards the sun
Holy chants
Sacred hammer pounding
On a pile of stones the blood is spilled
Conjuration
Calling the souls ancestral
Metal heart fullfilled
Praise
the life
of the ancient steel

Master of the Dawn
06:56
|

|
The light spread across the land
Morning star blink its eye
suddenly rooster cried
To whom belongs the horizon?
To poet or to Master of the dawn?
I'm the conqueror of night
Dressed in sunrise and the primal fallen one.
Who do you think you are? You descendant of mortals!
I'm the Prince of hell and this shall be my throne!
I'm raising head to your shining star
calling the falcon from a distant sky
Then came the Wicked one
through phosphorous air
Woke up thousand serpents
Now ancient spells are everywhere.
By the altar - forgotten art of old -
the young poet stood unshaken and bold.
You fool! What you have done to me?
Leave your dirty tricks and let that (shameless) falcon be
You're not able to win this elemental game
I'm the ancient serpent, Lucifer's my name.
Oh, lightbringer! Fabled son of dawn
Can I bear your torch and lead the way? Then I would be reborn
Master of the dawn
He's the one who brings the storm
He's the master of the dawn
The spellcaster on jewel throne
The falcon took the serpent right into his claw
Poet was enchanted by what just he saw
Swirling astral vortex reveals secrets from the past
Ground was dripped with blood of both
Poet was afraid:
Don't break the oath!
As the light spread across the land
I'm standing proud and now I'm deeply understand
Master of the dawn
He's the one who brings the storm
I'm master of the dawn
The one who brings the storm
Ruler of defiance
My enemies have no chance
And in the grass beneath
The snake crawls at my feet
as I walks towards dread
with a falcon above my head.
THE MASTER!!!
The Master of the dawn
