THERION LYRICS

1. The Blood Of Kingu

[Lyrics by Thomas Karlsson]
[Music by Christofer Johnsson]

Collect the blood of Kingu from the great old sea
And Arrogate the primeval waters
Inside your veins the power of the demon flow
Have you ever searched for your descent?

Gaze into your soul, we are the children of the ancient ones
On the thin facade we are the kindred of the benign gods

Take up and read the tables of your destiny
they hang around the neck of Kingu
Prepare the war between gods deep inside your soul
You are the one to fight in this war!

[Pre-Chorus:]
March for war in your soul. Hail!
Demon Kingu rise, rise, rise from the void. Hail!
Kingu rules the honred dragons, Ugallu, fishmen,
Mushussu, umu, bulls, frogs, scorpions, dogs... Kingu rules the void!

[Chorus:]
Kingu is the blood of man drawn off from this early waren
In your veins you find the strength from the demon's heritage

Chaotic waters covered every part of earth
The old gods split it like shellfish
But in the shells the blood of chaos still remain
Mother Habur suckle her children

[repeat pre-chorus & chorus]

[Bass:]
Kingu, general of the host of chaos, fighting for Tiamat; Bearer of sky and earth

[Soprano:]
Kingu, the mighty master ruling eleven demons
Kingu, your blood is running insinde the heart of mankind

The ancient demon, they will return...
The blood of Kingu... their open gate

2. Son Of The Sun

[Lyrics by Thomas Carlsson]
[Music by Kristian Niemnn]

In ancient days of Khem
A Pharao was praising
The sun above Amon
Osiris, Mother Isis and Toth

The gods would punish the hybris of Pharao
He wrapped himself in false sunshine
He was the founding father of the only God
But he provoked a fit of rage

[chorus:]
Son of the Sun, it was his name
Son of the Sun, the sun will burn your wings
Son of the Sun, beware of Aton
Son of the Sun, your God will let you down

The Sphinx burst into tears
And pyramids are shaking
The precipice is close
When Pharao is losing his faith

Visions of madness led the Pharao astray
The portents were too ominous
Until this day his curse is still the plague of Man
We must defeat the only God

[chorus]

Apep will rise
Apep will come

[chorus]

3. The Khlysti Evangelist

[Lyrics by Thomas Karlsson (Russian Translation by Diana Vensktyte)]
[Music by Christofer Johnsson/Johan Niemann]

Как метель из Сибири пришел неизвестный монах
Распутин заповидил двор царя и сердце царицы

С мягкими словами и дявольскими глазами
Он учил секретный ум

[English translation:
As snow-storm from Siberia arrived unknown monk
Rasputin zapovidil the court of tsar and the heart of the tsarina

With the soft words and the devilish eyes
He taught the secret mind]

Rasputin, the Black Munk's
Coming like a new born

In Sibiria you saw the Black Munk preach
Russian Gnostic words of hidden wisdom
See the mistery in the ecstatic eyes
Hear a song as sinful as the moon

Rasputin, your fever
Will infect the women

Fell the ecstacy when he inverts the world
Secret Gnostic rites of Khlysti Gospel
FollowRasputin in the enchanted dance
Feel a heat as ardent as the snow

In Sibiria you saw the Black Munk preach
Russian Gnostic words of hidden wisdom
See the mystery in the ecstatic eyes
Hear a song as sinful as the moon

Fell the ecstacy when he inverts the world
Secret Gnostic rites of Khlysti Gospel
FollowRasputin in the enchanted dance
Feel a heat as ardent as the snow

4. Dark Venus Persephone

[Lyrics by Thomas Karlsson]
[Music by Christofer Johnsson]

Together in underworld, Hades and Persephone
Daughter of Ceres, a tragic fate
It fell to your lot the day you ate
Apples from the Elysian fields

Persephone in (the) underworld

Forever in the underworld, (the) fate of Perssephone
Only the summer will set you free
But you'll be forced back to your husband
When you taste the pomegranate juice

Persephone in (the) underworld

Inside the underworld
Inside the ice and winter snow
(In the) water of Cyane
Your girdle float

Underworld Venus Persephone

5. Kali Yuga - Part 1

[Lyrics by Thomas Karlsson]
[Music by Christofer Johnsson]

Into a fruitless desert, into a darker day
The world is falling down and the sun is painted grey
You hear no happy laughters, see only greedy grins

[Chorus:]
Living in Kali Juga - In the dark night of the soul
Living in Kali Juga - In the night we find a star

The only God has broken the chain of golden age
When gods and every human where connected by the chain
It's time for re-enchantment, to call the gods again
To worshio Mother Kali and to make this aeon end

[Chorus]

6. Kali Yuga - Part 2

[Lyrics by Thomas Karlsson]
[Music by Christofer Johnsson/Kristian Niemann]

[Verse:]
Iron age's, Kali's rage, Kali, Jai Ma, Kali!
Praise the mighty Devi who turn the wheel another time
Kali's face, burning blaze, Kali, Jai Ma,, Kali!
Hail to Mother Kali who burn the world another time

Kali Ma, Great Durga, black guna of Maya
See the signs in the end of kala in the yuga

[Verse & chorus]

Kali Ma, Great Durga, black guna of Maya
See the signs in the end of kala in the yuga

[Chorus]

Kali Ma, Great Durga, black guna of Maya
See the signs in the end of kala in the yuga

The stars are falling down, we all are trapped in modern time
There is no way ti hide from the yoke of this paradigm

Kali Ma! We transcend into your womb
In the void of time, Jai Ma Bhavatarini!

7. The Wondrous World Of Punt

[Lyrics by Thomas Karlsson]
[Music by Christofer Johnsson]

The caravan is close to enter
Inside the land of Punt
Rivers of gold and scented lakes
Beyond the desert dunes
Eye of the sun is hot and carving
Have we been led astray?
Punt is a world of unseen bliss
But can we trust the eyes?

A lost land. Precious dream
Wondrous world of Punt
Ruled by Bez
Listen when e's player his harp

In the desert you'll maybe find
Your world of Punt

Find a light in a dream

Neter Ta, the Land of gods and beasts
World of Punt, your dream is lost today

Neter Ta, world of Punt
You will forever live on the fields

The vision was so near, it was so real
Fata Morgana played her game
A world of wonder, you saw...
(But) in the morning it vanished in the night

8. Melek Taus

[Lyrics by Thomas Karlsson]
[Music by Christofer Johnsson/Kristian Niemann]

Fly, Great Bird Taus - Fly to the sunrise
Your feathers and the crown, the symbols of your strength
Taus (in) your follower's dance

The offspring of Azrael - Accused as apostates
But they're blessed by Mele al Kawat, aks whose guest shall the Sanjak be?

Melek Taus

Sheik Adi, Yezi - Say Hol hola!
The Peacock Lord is here, the Serpent King will rise

Seven angels, seven Seihs - Waiting on Mount Lalesh
Until the day theay hear you pronounce: "As behre Azide Sarum!"

Hear the Peacock Lord declare: "Don't say my secret name!
I was, am now and shall have no end...you will know me as Melek Taus"

Melek Taus

From a lonely star
Beyond the verge of universe
A sound is echoing
Call from another world

Lights from Sirius
Will take your from Oblivion

You feel a longing for the stars
Enter the limitless
Answer the call you hear

To free yourself from modern life
The sky will shine again

The Deep One is calling you
Call of Dagon!
Hear the night sky sing

11. Voyage Of Gurdjieff (The Fourth Way)

[Lyrics by Thomas Karlsson]
[Music by Christofer Johnsson/Kristian Niemann]

Walk all alone on a quest to wake up, as the day you said:
"Life is only real then, when 'I am'
When I walk on the way, of the Fourth Way"
When your jouney begins you'll meer the world
You'll see the sleep

[verse:]
Dance a sufi dance and fall into a trance
Like a Derwish you dance
Dance with Yezidis and lern their secret lore...
Voyage of Gurdjieff

Learn how to live, how to use the Octave
Listen to the tale (of) The lord of Flies tonight
Nine pointed star, it will shine on your soul
And you'll find your way like a Herald of Light
Who show the way like Gurdjieff

[verse repeat]

Learn how to live, how to use the Octave
Listen to the tale (of) The lord of Flies tonight
Nine pointed star, it will shine on your soul
And you'll find your way like a Herald of Light
Who show the way like Gurdjieff

Learn how to live, how to use the Octave
On the Fourth Way the life is only real
Then, when 'I am', when I walk on the way
On the Fourth Way, like a Herald of Light and the Dark

Is there life on Earth? The Worl will set you free
Voyage of Gurdjieff, are we like machines?
No, we can build a soul like black diamond
