Leviathan III
1. Ninkigal
ليل
إلهي
End of days, Sebitti of the night stare into the chaos in their eyes
Babylon destruction brought to earth by the curses of tides
God Ea, you alone knows the magic name, the only name
To make the universe tremble and defeat the dark parade
ليل
إلهي
Golden ash shall burn again!
God Ea, you alone knows the magic name, the only name
To make the universe tremble and defeat the dark parade
Children of both wrath and all revenge of the deep the temple set aflame!
Nin-kigal, they are your instruments, your name
God Ea, you alone knows the magic name, the only name
To make the universe tremble and defeat the dark parade

إلهي
2. Ruler of Tamag
In ancient of times through a rhythm divine
The God of creation would bring
The birth of his son, wrapped in power and strong
Whose name every legend will sing
A wielder of dreams Erlik han came to be
His wisdom would revel in pride
And thus he was cast down where fire shall last
Forever consuming our minds
Karaş Han! Karaş Han!
Karanlığın hükümdarı
Çıngay Han! Çıngay Han! (Ey Kara Yer'in Dokuz Oğulları!)
Kargaşanın ulu hanı (Başlatın dünyanın kadim zamanını)
You're destined to rule over judgement and doom
Inferno of Tamag inside
Where sinners do bleed, damned to always receive
And summon the tears that they've cried
Descending through hate, human hearts to create
Such evil those spirits unleashed
Your blackest of eyes greet their blood-sacrifice
As prince of thy darkness supreme
Yere inerken Maytere
Sustur onun fermanını!
Yerin dokuz kat dibinde
Son bulsun tutsaklığın!
In ancient of times through a rhythm divine
The God of creation would bring
The birth of his son, wrapped in power and strong
Whose name every legend will sing
A wielder of dreams Erlik han came to be
His wisdom would revel in pride
And thus he was cast down where fire shall last
Forever consuming our minds
3. An Unsung Lament
Weaving threads at dawn is the silence around
With the golden light, morning and harmony comes
The singing wind seeks Pan, awakening him
Rays from his eyes will guide the sun to find everything
Upon the dewy grass, alone he will pass
(Deep inside the forest there are poems that no one is able to find)
Breathing the colours and let them ascend to the sky
Upon the dewy grass, alone he will pass
(Deep inside the forest there are poems that no one is able to find)
From the god of the leafy green, now hear an unsung lament
(In grief I roam the forest...)
What he has told the trees at night, morning born he will not tell
(I will preserve the secret...)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Arcadia praise its mountain for him
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Arcadia praise its mountain for him
Echoes call from the battle of Typhon and Zeus, raging within
(Remember, remember...)
They are drawn to the surface, rising
(Ah! Remember, what is your fate? Remember)
To the glance to form a view of his own eternity
(Remember, remember)
Lord of the wild, shepherds and nature unbound
Joining the nymphs as spring seduces winter to pass
Pointing horns of goat, see them gracing his head
Feel the infernal fury of beast and of man
Lord of the wild, shepherds and nature unbound
Joining the nymphs as spring seduces winter to pass
Goddess of the moon Selene - shines to once again attract him
All fertility concealed inside brings fire to ash
(Tell me, can you see me by the moonlight I am yours)
In peace for a moment, he is caressing the sky
And the flute made in honour of his beloved Syrinx
He closes both his eyes
Puts down his flute in silence, hearing her voice call unto him
Walking in solitude eternal and divine
For to venture on alone destined you are
Pictures of yesterday, no memories
Chase the singing wind tomorrow and another age will trace the sun
Pan hear me!
I hear you but tell me now
When stars begin to falter, where am I as I am not here?
Reborn to the human soul
4. Maleficium
The eve of thy souls unreviving tomb
Maledictum
Ex hac die
Darkness sublime, the scythe of time
Vae vobis
Ad finem
Whispers of deep despair echo through temple ruins
Winter scent
May the frost blight thy crops of creation
Spirit cold
Shall perish in the stream of pure dismay
To eclipse the day
Maledictum
Ex hac die
Vae vobis
Ad finem
From thy crown jewels shall be removed, torn asunder!
May no more seed be sown as thy last tree is plundered
Spirit cold
Shall perish in the stream of pure dismay
To eclipse the day
Maledictum
Ex hac die
Vae vobis
Ad finem
Maledictum
Ex hac die
Vae vobis
Ad finem
Fathomless, darkened dreams now have spun webs of shadows
Unmade, blind and bereft of thy mind - tread the hollow!
Spirit cold
Shall perish in the stream of pure dismay
To eclipse the day
5. Ayahuasca
At sunrise the Chacruna leaf
Gather to brew Ayahuasca
The plant Caapi ad to fire and clean the wine (Liana of the soul set free)
Pray to brew Ayahuasca
See the shaman entrance you to treasure the sacrament
La purga awaits you to open your eyes
O luna sail
The firmament forever and bring your ship to find us
O luna sail
O luna sail
Wrap your light around us to meet the cosmic serpent
Luna sail away
Silver lining run to the astral sun, it will glow and arise
Sante Daime ritual
Set to praise Ayahuasca
Spiritual revelation, awakening (Liana of the soul set free)
Flower of Ayahuasca
As the key to the secret is turned by the universe
Beware that the Brujos might lead you astray
O luna sail
The firmament forever and bring your ship to find us
O luna sail
O luna sail
Wrap your light around us to meet the cosmic serpent
Luna sail away
Silver lining run to the astral sun, it will glow and arise
O luna sail
The firmament forever and bring your ship to find us
O luna sail
O luna sail
Wrap your light around us to meet the cosmic serpent
O luna sail
Sing to me of days blowing the wind
Through the veil of earth and sea
Sing to me of days blowing the wind
Through (blowing through) the veil (the veil) of earth (of earth) and sea (and sea)
Stand amid the waves as you aim for distant shores
To forget when time portrayed the indifferent stars above
Sing to me of days blowing the wind
Through the veil of earth and sea
Sing to me of days blowing the wind
Through (blowing through) the veil (the veil) of earth (of earth) and sea (and sea)
Stand amid the waves as you aim for distant shores
To forget when time portrayed the indifferent stars above
Let the nightingale in the shadow of your mind
Guide you from misleading ways to the wonders you shall find
6. Baccanale
Whirling round, they all await climax approaching them now
Soon divine, Bacchantes are dancing, madness to enter
Possessed, empowered by his spirit
In praise of Bacchus you consume
Both wine and grapes, his incarnation
To get a glimpse of him inside you
Titans of the underworld severed and tore him apart
His return, Demeter saw, led him to be reborn
Possessed, empowered by his spirit
In praise of Bacchus you consume
Both wine and grapes, his incarnation
To get a glimpse of him inside you
The snake, the phallus, we wear and wield them!
The snake, the phallus, we wear and wield them!
All incite each other to ecstasy sent from afar
Dawn of youth soon Liber will carry up to the stars
Possessed, empowered by his spirit
In praise of Bacchus you consume
Both wine and grapes, his incarnation
To get a glimpse of him inside you
7. Midsommarblot
Dawning, sunrise, daylight dethrones the dark
Crowning, gilding beauty on high
Time shapes a paradise of earth and the sea
Gather us mortals to thee
Prepare our sacrifice!
Goddess Freja, mistress of human lust
Verdure, bring us, daughter of Njord
Come forth Brisingamen, of fire do shine
Forged to a jewel divine
Enrich our sacrifice!
Mighty Sunna, sailing on Alfrödull
Cover skylines, seek and arrive
Circle of Blot will praise this season and thee
Into the fireplace, gifts now we bring
Midsummer ritual fulfilled!
Sacrifice!
Sacrifice!
Sacrifice!
Sacrifice!
Sacrifice!
Sacrifice!
Sacrifice!
Sacrifice!
8. What Was Lost Shall Be Lost No More
Eyes they are pulsing through the dark of an enlightened heart.
Out of the nothingness arrives morning at dawn from which the sun departs.
From this womb emerges a stench both foul and strong, so magical.
Riding upon the majestic and infernal dragon
Spawn of beyond with a viper in thy hand.
Gloomy angel, revealing beast
Thorns are crowning eternal wings.
Shrouded silence ignites the soul.
Grant thy fire Astaroth!
Bring the key of night, arch demon far
And unlock dreams pages hold in thy grimoire.
Eyes they are pulsing through the dark of an enlightened heart.
Out of the nothingness arrives morning at dawn from which the sun departs.
From this womb emerges a stench both foul and strong, so magical.

9. Duende
Oh talento oscuro, estro febril
De noche el arte con su fuego viene a mi!
Spirit possessed throughout creation
Captures your soul in ecstasy
Beauty dressed in darkness crossing limitations
Conquering your sanity!
Move to the music bound for a realm of different dreams
Sing with the voices found on the path to mystery
Storming all gates of your protection
Poison to reap the human mind
Rushing flood and birth of evergrowing passion
Coiling like serpents inside
Viaja a la mente y al alma
Cala hondo en mi garganta
Cuerpos que a la deriva están
Sierpes del arte poseerán
Toca, duende! Canta, duende! Baila, duende!
Breathing through void of disillusion
Dancing on strings of hidden art
Glass remaining darkly mirror retribution
Channels the source in your heart
Rhythm shall conjure up every flame to spread the heat
Center of the abyss lead its spark into your feet
Viaja a la mente y al alma
Cala hondo en mi garganta
Cuerpos que a la deriva están
Sierpes del arte poseerán
Toca, duende! Canta, duende! Baila, duende!
Estás poseido?
Eres su instrumento?
No? No? No? No? No?
Sí! Sí!
10. Nummo
Come forth speaking silence
Calling of the universe
Sirius shining
Circling around is the old world of knowledge
Mystery in our dreams
People of Dogon sees
Nummo, the serpent of God
Show us your home and the stars
Glowing so far away
Unveil today the creations from far
Nummo, the serpent of God (Moving are waters of the stars and planets)
Show us your home and the stars
Glowing so far away (As we gaze further away than our eyes can see)
Further than eyes can see
Shine on Po Tolo!
Ogotemmêli, the one!
Emme Ya Tolo!
Distant - the light and the source of the knowledge
Mystery in our dreams
People of Dogon sees
Nummo, the serpent of God
Show us your home and the stars
Glowing so far away
Unveil today the creations from far
Nummo, the serpent of God (Moving are waters of the stars and planets)
Show us your home and the stars
Glowing so far away (As we gaze further away than our eyes can see)
Further than eyes can see
11. Twilight of the Gods
In three they passed as Fimbulwinter
No summer born in between
Garm! Helgrind!
Garm! Helgrind!
In times of brother killing brother
Came war and famine to be
Seas had found mountains crumbling down
The sun was soon devoured
Fenris on the loose would swallow the moon
The Midgård serpent entered
Into the twilight of the gods
The whole of Yggdrasil was shaking
As man would march close to hel
Garm! Helgrind!
Garm! Helgrind!
From Muspelheim to splinter heaven
Arrive did Surt with his sword
Time for war of what was before
Heard the horn of Heimdal
Folkvang opened up
All warriors sought to storm out from Valhalla
The sloaps of Vigrid the final ground
Thor, Odin met their fate as they all fell
Into the twilight of the gods
Into the twilight of the gods
The gods
Fire and darkness! The world went under!
As all returned into Ginnungagap
There on the plains of Idavallen far
Gods that remained saw Nidhugg still alive
Livtrånad, liv new era had arrived
Lyrics in plain text format
