THERION LYRICS

1. Aeon Of Maat

No earth, no air
Enter shapeless void

In the chaos within our bosom
She would venture to rule the motion
(Before the birth of movement
Darkness of all origin!)
Led by Ra through the secret portal
Into stars and the deeds of mortals
(Before the birth of movement
Darkness of all origin!)
On the hillock of all creation
Bringing balance before damnation
(Before the birth of movement
Darkness of all origin!)

Lead mankind
(Into the)
Aeon of Maat!

From within the temple of Karnak
The voices call...

Conceived deep in the heart of Pharaoh
Order, justice, to act with honor!

Greet your fortune beyond the feather
By her wisdom may all be measured
(Before the birth of movement
Darkness of all origin!)
Meri-Maat, wear her name believing
For your soul in the heart lies grieving
(Before the birth of movement
Darkness of all origin!)
Raining dust upon black emotions
Death becomes but a vague illusion!
(Before the birth of movement
Darkness of all origin!)

Lead mankind
(Into the)
Aeon of Maat!

Lead mankind
Into the
Aeon of Maat!
...Maat!

2. Litany Of The Fallen

Outcast down from heaven
From grace holy severed –
Return now forever!
Echoes from the past inferno
Climbing on a new crescendo!

Gateways, light forbidden
Wisdom to us given –
Reclaim what was hidden!
Those tongues that could not be silenced
Carried on our voices rising!

Back in the days of Jared
The silhouettes of angels
Upon Mount Hermon gathered
As brethren, as forsaken

Dragon Mother rise
Spread your wings this night
And fly to alight the star of sin
Sharpen the claws again
Bringing rapture inhumane and fly
A new day will begin
All your wisdom bring, thy kingdom born within!

This day, the beginning
Speaking of the ending
Of times soon descending!
Tread now on the sacred meadows
Covered by your ancient shadows!

Beauty veiled in darkness
The sun shall devour –
Enter night time hour!
Insight to your true disciples
Once more to derive from Qliphoth!

They would become the Watchers –
Grigori, Shemyaza
To wield the arts forbidden
And drink the wine from Naamah

Dragon Mother rise
Spread your wings this night
And fly to alight the star of sin
Sharpen the claws again
Bringing rapture inhumane and fly
A new day will begin
All your wisdom bring, thy kingdom born within!

Dragon Mother rise
Spread your wings this night
And fly to alight the star of sin
Sharpen the claws again
Bringing rapture inhumane and fly
A new day will begin
All your wisdom bring, thy kingdom born within!
Dragon Mother rise
Spread your wings this night
And fly to alight the star of sin
Sharpen the claws again
Bringing rapture inhumane and fly
A new day will begin
All your wisdom bring, thy kingdom born within!

Come forth, Imamiah!
Come through, O Armaros!
Come forth, Amazarak!
Come through, O Forneus!
Come forth, Asmodeus!
Come through, O Focalor!
Come forth, Sathariel!
Come through, O Gomory!
Come forth, Chazaqiel!
Come through, O Hagenti!
Open the gates!

3. Alchemy Of The Soul

Mythical the essence, the spark of alchemy
Philosophers' stone, creation from Carmot –
Mercury refined is to gold

Through the elixir of life
Immortality achieve you shall
By enlightenment of the night
Perfection gilds the mind

Water, fire, earth and rain –
All made from Primo Materia
Incombustible in flames
As Magnum Opus shines

Words of Mutus Liber the third eye will unveil
Philosophers' stone, oh spirits now give way
To the souls of nobles again

Through the elixir of life
Immortality achieve you shall
By enlightenment of the night
Perfection gilds the mind

Water, fire, earth and rain –
All made from Primo Materia
Incombustible in flames
As Magnum Opus shines

Alchemy of the soul
Watch the sun turning black from red
Alchemy of the soul
Never rose, it shall never stand

Azoth!
Azoth!
Azoth!
Azoth! Hail!

4. Lunar Coloured Fields

The strings of broken lyres
The sound of ashes spread
Of ashes spread
One by one your stars become undone
And seal the path on which you tread

Lift those hands from your weary eyes
Watch nightside rivers unfold the sea
Diamonds black fall from astral skies
Upon the lunar coloured fields

Within your soul no beauty
Lay down the course of time
The course of time
Wounded deep dimensions bow and weep
The flowers sleeping in your mind

Lift those hands from your weary eyes
Watch nightside rivers unfold the sea
Diamonds black fall from astral skies
Upon the lunar coloured fields

Lunar coloured
Lunar coloured
Lunar coloured, lunar coloured
Lunar coloured, lunar coloured fields!

Where desert hearts abide – dry
Parched with thirst they lie

Lunar coloured
Lunar coloured
Lunar coloured, lunar coloured
Lunar coloured, lunar coloured fields!

From sparkling kingdoms hidden
A crystal flew away
Flew away
Darkened wings – so glorious the sin
Dissolving our yesterday

Lunar coloured
Lunar coloured
Lunar coloured, lunar coloured
Lunar coloured, lunar coloured fields!

Untouched by empty hands
May you be born again

Lunar coloured
Lunar coloured
Lunar coloured, lunar coloured
Lunar coloured, lunar coloured fields!

5. Lucifuge Rofocale

Hail thee Lord of Saturn! Hail thee Lucifuge!

In the mist an exploring heart
Enter the gates of an unknown path
Anchored was by its chains before –
Drifting on waves now through secret doors

Calling on thee! Summoning thee!
Rise like a god! Come unto me!
Stargate and moon Mimas arise!
Power invoked! Conjured through eyes!

Hail thee Lord of Saturn! Hail thee Lucifuge!
Travel pathways astral – reach the tree of shadows!

Sail through the void – the third horn
Guardian of gates – pass and appear!

Lead me to thy treasure realm
On the third Qliphothic sphere
Ruler of the vision of
Sorrow through dark resonance!

Measuring of thy ancient words
Music form that is yet unheard
Hands will reach and eyes will yearn –
Whisperings soft into chanting turn!

Hail thee Lord of Saturn! Hail thee Lucifuge!

Colours all into one shall bleed
Triangle drawn – come demonic seed!
Hazel wild shaped to magic wand
Moving again, may thy will be done!

Enter through realms darkened and old!
Lonesome within the afterglow!
Bring unto form shapes undefined!
Grant them thy name! Grant me a sign!

Hail thee Lord of Saturn! Hail thee Lucifuge!
Travel pathways astral – reach the tree of shadows!

Sail through the void – the third horn
Guardian of gates – pass and appear!

Lead me to thy treasure realm
On the third Qliphothic sphere
Ruler of the vision of
Sorrow through dark resonance!

6. Marijin Min Nar

Breathing night born of magic
In astral flight (Astral flight)
Wings corrode air of heaven
That once was strong (Once was strong)

Flock of shayatin
Fire of the wind
Shadow on the wall

Invisible
Marijin min nar
Soon in the mist of our dawn
Will appear

Storms of sand - battles raging
In every man (Incantation near)
Changing shapes, moving quickly
Through time and space (Bring temptation here)

Flock of shayatin
Fire of the wind
Shadow on the wall
Flock of shayatin
Fire of the wind
Shadow on the wall

Invisible
Marijin min nar
Soon in the mist of our dawn
Will appear

7. Hades And Elysium

Bells do echo, sad is their toll
Close to Hades' misty abode
Di inferi shape the dark waving of Charon
'Cross the Styx shades must travel just like yours

Concealed forever within the silence
You'll feel the grief of Acheron
You'll hear the moaning from the tongues of the ancients
All shrouded spirits awaiting judgement
To reach the Elysian fields
The solemn shoreline rests in nightfall eternal

Fragments of today are close but far away
For all that is time sails in the moment
But a memory

At the crossing, three are the roads
Fate shall greet you forevermore
Will the fields of Asphodel or Elysium
Save you from every curse of Tartarus...?

Concealed forever within the silence
You'll feel the grief of Acheron
You'll hear the moaning from the tongues of the ancients
All shrouded spirits awaiting judgement
To reach the Elysian fields
The solemn shoreline rests in nightfall eternal

Fragments of today are close but far away
For all that is time sails in the moment
Fragments of today are close but far away
For all that is time sails in the moment...
But a memory

8. Midnight Star

Through her dark eyes
She's gazing at the stars of night

(Break the chain!)
Sister of Zorya
Secret one coiled in the shell of her dreams
(All will end!)
Guardian of the night
No light has one so mysterious seen

Deep within the star of midnight
She is close to the gates of the sun forever
Mark the birth of all existence
Life begins in her realm of the night forever

Grasping fingers –
The moon is resting in her hand

(Break the chain!)
Sister of Zorya
Silver is touching the white of your hair
(All will end!)
Guardian of the night
Who are you – where do you mirror yourself?

Deep within the star of midnight
She is close to the gates of the sun forever
Mark the birth of all existence
Life begins in her realm of the night forever

Путь полночный чист, дивно манит он
Там, на гребне скал, вечно ждёт рассвет
Путь полночный чист, дивом манит он
Где-то в её снах утром сгинет прочь

Следуй по стопам её босых ног
Лунною тропой вслед за врата грёз
Воссияет вновь дочь во мгле ночной
Не сойдёт с тропы падших мудрецов

Путь полночный чист, дивно манит он (Славься, Зоря Полуночная)
Там, на гребне скал, вечно ждёт рассвет (Ключ от Врат Зори несущая в мир!)
Следуй по стопам её босых ног
Лунною тропой вслед за врата грёз

[Translation:]
Midnight path is clear, it beckons marvelously
There, on the crest of the rocks, the dawn is always waiting
Midnight path is clear, it attracts with marvel
Somewhere in her dreams, it will perish away in the morning

Follow the footsteps of her bare feet
By a lunar path following behind the gates of dreams
The daughter will shine again in the darkness of the night
She will not come off the path of the fallen sages

Midnight path is clear, it beckons marvelously (Glory to Midnight Zorya)
There, on the crest of the rocks, the dawn is always waiting (Bearing the key to the gates of dawn into the world!)
Follow the footsteps of her bare feet
By a lunar path following behind the gates of dreams

9. Cavern Cold As Ice

Soft, enchanting music darkness bring

When autumn winds lay your body down
Four queens ascend through the cosmic soil

Somewhere in your eyes the night flew by
Seeds transpired from the light
No pulse of time, no rhythm and no rhyme
Enter dreams, enter me — cavern cold as ice

Across the spheres every dream commence
As tongues begin by your will to dance

Somewhere in your eyes the night flew by
Seeds transpired from the light
No pulse of time, no rhythm and no rhyme
Enter dreams, enter me — cavern cold as ice

Hear Agrat bat Mahlat sing to thee...

The siren's call of a nightingale
Invoked arrives pleasures to unveil

Somewhere in your eyes the night flew by
Seeds transpired from the light
No pulse of time, no rhythm and no rhyme
Enter dreams, enter me — cavern cold as...
Enter dreams, enter me — cavern cold as ice

10. Codex Gigas

Night has fallen with whispering tongues
On the monastery
Sheets are empty but who is the one
With the quill before him...?

May you open Codex Gigas – what lies behind?
Spread the pages – hell and heaven on opposite sides

No more ink is put down by the quill
Soon touched by morning
As in honour the monk greets the one
Painting his portrait

May you open Codex Gigas – what lies behind?
Spread the pages – hell and heaven on opposite sides
May you open Codex Gigas – what lies behind?
(Was there a prayer, a special prayer, to have the one come forth?)
Spread the pages – hell and heaven on opposite sides
Bearer of the cloth in white

May you open Codex Gigas – what lies behind?
Spread the pages – hell and heaven on opposite sides
(Watch the riddle through the ages – it will always remain.)
(Watch as it lies open)
May you open Codex Gigas – what lies behind?
(Was there a prayer, a special prayer, to have the one come forth?)
Spread the pages – hell and heaven on opposite sides
Bearer of the cloth in white

11. Pazuzu

Pass me the torch of night
Son of Hanbi, thy might!
Lift my mind on your wings
Flapping shadows they bring

Clouds of sleep are breathing dreams
The shortest straw of future seeds
Let worlds below my path expose
Through secrets deep where mountains darker rose

Demon of old Babylon
A shield before the wrath of gods
Save me from winds of the west
Once born in the land of the dead

Old tongues speak and demand
(Rise and descend!)
Fruits of all that I am
Travel through the abyss
(Start at the end!)
Just like time from the crypts

Silence bleed unearthly light
Behold – Pazuzu will arise!
Tomorrow shall disperse the signs
Where every trail away was swept by time

Demon of old Babylon
A shield before the wrath of gods
Save me from winds of the west
Once born in the land of the dead

Storm bring Pazuzu!
Leave Pazunia!
Breath clouds of poison!
Breath through the portals!

12. Pazuzu (AOR Version)

Pass me the torch of night
Son of Hanbi, thy might!
Lift my mind on your wings
Flapping shadows they bring

Clouds of sleep are breathing dreams
The shortest straw of future seeds
Let worlds below my path expose
Through secrets deep where mountains darker rose

Demon of old Babylon
A shield before the wrath of gods
Save me from winds of the west
Once born in the land of the dead, of the dead!

Old tongues speak and demand
(Rise and descend!)
Fruits of all that I am
Travel through the abyss
(Start at the end!)
Just like time from the crypts

Silence bleed unearthly light
Behold – Pazuzu will arise!
Tomorrow shall disperse the signs
Where every trail away was swept by time

Demon of old Babylon
A shield before the wrath of gods
So save me, save me from winds of the west
Once born in the land of the dead, land of the dead!

Storm bring Pazuzu!
Leave Pazunia!
Breath clouds of poison!
Breath through the portals!
