Typhon is alive. Descending with allies From the mountain of the snake. In the deepest night of Pan Typhon will return. With Erebus and Nyx And a vision of the storm. And the Ocean and Tethys
[Chorus:]
The Dragon breaks the temple wall The Flood will drown our gods Break down the wall And let another kingdom rise The castle of Olympia Is shaking by the storm The King lost his crown And now the wall is tumbling down
Typhon overthrow the throne of Father Zeus The creation of the gods. And the order of Mankind Typhon is alive. Descending with allies And the empires will fear. All the power of their wrath
ather all the Ostrogoths And Visigoths! Ride like an arctic storm Across the world!? Leitmotif of the Gothic Army
Gather all the Gothic tribes, all the sons of Berik On three ships you sail away on a pagan crusade Tyrants of the christian world fear you more than their God Theoderik, gothic King The flashing spear of the sublime Is flying in the air Like the fear of the divine The goths are everywhere
In the ocean, deep down Under raging waves, wrapped in memories, you'll find Wrecks of stately ships, they all went astray
Captain, did you find Land of Mu, Eldorado for the seaman? Or did you sink in dreams (and) lose your ship In the Sirens' symphony?
When the sailman's sailing away He shows that the dream of Lemuria is true A land lost he will find again Hear the call from the depth of the anemone song Do you dare to enter the ship? Hear the call from below of an underwater world Land of Mu is close to the stars In the arms of the sea you will live as hypnotized
Call of Narayana, the seven-headed on Lemuria, rise!
When the sailman's sailing away He shows that the dream of Lemuria is true A land lost he will find again Hear the call from the depth of the anemone song Do you dare to enter the ship? Hear the call from below of an underwater world Land of Mu is close to the stars In the arms of the sea you will live as hypnotized
Wake up in the darkest hour! Angels are surrounding you In the borderland of heaven Lucid are yor dreams tonight
Open a door, a gate in a dream (The) dead will pass by to show you the sky
[chorus:] Astral presence everywhere In the dreams of Swedenborg He could see across the sky Through the boundaries of time Lucid dreams and astral sight In the dreams of Swedenborg Every part of universe's Corresponding to the world
Dream a vision clear and splendid When you visit afterlife Daedalus Hyperboreus Delinate the astral world
Write all your dreams in your diary Give to the world a glimpse of the sky
[Solo soprano:] Sunshine hides behind a cloud [Bass/Tenor:] Eiwar! [Solo soprano:] There's no light for us to see [Bass/Tenor:] Eiwar! [Solo soprano:] But a ray is breaking through [Bass/Tenor:] Eiwar! [Solo soprano:] The ignorance of human mind [Bass/Tenor:] Eiwar!
On Olympia the sun is born Radiating from god Apollo From the utmost North arrived a man And he took a spark, a shaft of light
Arrows from the sun, they penetrate the human mind Sophia is born when we catch one of these Arrows from the sun, they burn the soul and make us see Him who took the spark: Abaris Eiwar
Eiwar, Eiwar, take an arrow from the sun
Abaris, pilgrim from the regions of darkness
When you catch the sun, you'll ride a beam All across the world, in every place Like Abaris did, he took the spark As a riding broom; a magic world
Arrows from the sun will penetrate the human mind Sophia is born when we catch one of these Arrows from the sun, they burn the soul and make us see Deep inside the maze: the Psyche, the soul
An arrow from the sun is like a sceptre in your hand A key to time and space, to journeys within Arrows from the sun will open up your beating heart Sophia will shine when they hit your soul
Eiwar, Eiwar, take an arrow from the sun Abaris, pilgrim from the regions of darkness Eiwar, Eiwar, bend the bow now and shoot now Abaris, bowman, shoot an arrow from the sun

Eros and Thanatos are brances on the same old tree Rooted in the soil of shadow and light If God was separated from the dark twin, the Devil Could he ever know the soul of mankind?
We want a new god called Abraxas!
Enter the Pleroma and see that nothingless is all And you must destroy a world to be born Alpha and Omega are the beginning and the end United in the shape of Abraxas
Darkness and the light Sermones ad Mortous, empty fullness Abraxas, your words is a riddle to be solved
You bear the mark of Cain And you are fighting like a bird (To) free you from the egg, the egg is all the world The Sermon to the Dead A gospel to another life Hear the words of Cain, the sinner and the saint The grave is a flower And you are dying to be born Baptized by fire and you will slough your skin The sign of Abraxas The circle of the solar year Deep in the winter you'll see the sun be born
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 table 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!
March of war in your soul. Hail! Demon Kingu rise, rise, rise from the void. Hail! Kingu rules the horned dragons, Ugallu, fishmen, Mushussu, umu, bulls, frogs, scorpions, dogs... Kingu rules the void!
Kingu is the blood of man drawn off from this early war 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 a shellfish But in the shells the blood of chaos still remain Mother Habur suckle her children
March of war in your soul. Hail! Demon Kingu rise, rise, rise from the void. Hail! Kingu rules the horned dragons, Ugallu, fishmen, Mushussu, umu, bulls, frogs, scorpions, dogs... Kingu rules the void!
Kingu is the blood of man drawn off from this early war In your veins you find the strength from the demon's heritage
Kingu, general of the host of chaos, fighting for Tiamat: Bearer of sky and earth
Kingu, the mighty master ruling eleven demons Kingu, your blood is runing inside the heart of mankind
The ancient demons, they will return... The blood of Kingu... their open gate
In ancient days of Khem A Pharao was praising The sun above Amon Osiris, Mother Isis and Thoth
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
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
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
Apep will rise Apep will come
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
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

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
From a lonely stars Beyond the verge of universe A sound is choing (A) call from another world Lights from Sirius Will take your from Oblivion: dagon is here again
When you watch the sky You feel a longing from the stars Enter the limitless Answer the call you hear When you take the step To free yourself from modern life The sky will shine again
Call of Dagon! The Deep One is calling you Call of Dagon! Hear the night sky sing
[repeat]
Call of Dagon! It's the sound of universe Call of Dagon! Somewhere in your drems
