Primordial Breath The calling wind on my face Waving from the summoning of giants That heals my soul The virile fragrance of alpine tor The blowing breath of this fold That dreams me Pervading every single nook of existence Veidon anatlâ Trireinos koilon monis pantos Volevos kaion moricus Ni têrsos tenkos sves nâus-anatia In litaviâ votno-ûrâ Mê anatlô Qe tebô lama deivos skver-ollos [English translation:] Mumbling breath Flowing through the loins of my pain Plashing at the havens Of homeless sailors Mooring their soulships at the urgrounds shore I breathe in And touch the hand of the all-pervading Laden with the burden of this life The barque sails through endless waters Deep and dark Yet gestated pristinely and free Escorting to the biding warmth Of the womb "I'm a bard do you not vouchsafe my secrets to slaves I am a guide a judge if you sow you will labour" 3. Inis Mona Welcome to the land of questions Welcome to the isle of lore Where the veil came crumbling down There it all began, The germination Unveiling a cryptic door There it was revealed Hopes and aspirations Unclosing an enthralled door Escalate the sense Enhancing to join the dawn I close my eyes, Inis Mona And reminisce of those palmy days I moon o'er you, Inis Mona As long as I breathe I'll call you my home 20 years I have walked your barrows Years of emulous youth I followed the path of the wise There it all was sown The inspiration Removing the seven seals There it was revealed Enigma of freedom Unclosing an unseen door 4. Gray Sublime Archon I raise my hand against ye, thief! For we're accustomed to receive, Not to give hostages Hear these words! deeds are overt! As chaos evolves In worthless lies A crucial congress At saônes banks Gray Sublime Archon I've been called Through all these years I bore up Now may we all stay the course This day I raise my hand against it all I question now, did I fail? Or retain our dignity And shelter of this defilement? 5. Anagantios [Instrumental] 6. Bloodstained Ground What did I close in here? I can't remember ever shedding tears o'spite On this ground, cropping up the fatal frontline Like a soot-blackened palisade yet Impelled, void and abulic Legions delineate an omnious skyline As lifeless demons without soul These insentient hosts abide Engulfing war monger get away from here! Trod ye the path of vast deceit? Every piece of evidence was a lie The war, the threat's a hyping fake To move figures on the board! Stain bibractes ground! What do you see in me? Do you breathe-in dreams? What spurred you to come here? An oneiric picture of beeing... Like disaffected legions taken, lure I wonder what lies, what threat or promise Persuaded them to leave their home so far away ...did they really know? As the carnyx roared aloud I quaked not, yet just asked myself How their hearts took the bait, These sweetened words of bitter essence Face to face with nameless foes Scorching words, unspoken lorn Unheard quests remain the ashes of the dead Forsooth we'll bear the brunt Upright in life or in death Yet still the countless cries echo In silenced caves of nothing 7. The Somber Lay A murky presage roaming the land To silence the skylarks chant The somber kiss is at hand To impart the crimson robe Heed the darksome maid Dancing across this equinox To relegate persistence As the bleak darkness grows A cryptal impellent, devoted to the sublime round Beholden for the boons of light Retreating into quietness We harken the somber lay We sing the somber lay Close your eyes and heed and vide Then you shall see The sphere revolves as it's promised Flames flickering deftly To banish the nipping air The dark time is at hand Lighted by bardic chant Heed the darksome maid To enwrap all in bleakness A dark veil o'silence As quiet insight buds Darkness roaming the land Long dead the skylarks chant The dark vis usurped command To impart the sallow robe Sure a new light will come The lifewheel is rotating onward Given is the promise Thus assertive we wear on Life-given impellent, devoted to the sublime round 8.

Oh Sovereignty of my fathers Oh land of my countrymen! From your root sprang A glorious nation Of dure heroes. Oh dulcet blossom of the living world! Oh my fatherland, oh my Helvetia!

Tarvos In a virgin world primeval A newborn bullcalf emerged Wondrous and celestial Three cranes to be its witness and droves Its honour mantled the face of the earth A blessing unleashed to the earth Unseathed the embodiment of life Tarvos - the embodiment of life Tarvos - the genesis of time The earthy heathlands roamed by esus Questing condign sacrifice A divine yearning hushed by the prodigy Three cranes to wake up the slumbering taur To warn him 'gainst the imminence of a huntergod ravenous "A drawn struggle through innominate days As ultimately the sword of esus Pierced the bulls heart Three cranes to lament as its blood laves Creation wept under an eclipsing sun As gloom descended upon world Three cranes to catch a drop of blood And leave far away..." A blessing depraved from the world As snow fell for the first time on earth Three cranes returned Pouring out the blood To the ground of tarvos' death And out of nothing The soil sacrified, the divine bull was reborn Under a newborn sun nature rejoiced Thus spring came back on earth Overcame the brumal reign Through esus came back To fell the bull, the eternal cycle has begun Tarvos - will always be slain Tarvos - ever to be reborn again 11. Calling The Rain A nexus fruition Whirling cognition Ulterior, the failing of words A pageant to leave me bewildered Lurch at the sight of the clandestine ascendancy Pervading anima An awe-struck principle, an adytum to find our home Long for the rapture again Crave for the pristine light Vastness engulfing the soul Unfurling this truth, an orbit in sovereignty Sown into deep darkness The grain has to die, perish to bestow new life A vis major painting a rapturous view Heralding a vivid thema Heed, it's like calling the rain It's like bearing in pain Like embracing life an decaying in death Heed, it's like calling the rain It's like the caress of a mother Like life to go withered, a perennial pneuma I will not forget what I arose from Decidual the forests proclaim The glory primal, the rapturous supremacy Vanquishing the vile Burgeoning beyond, bearing the essence of life Crave for the rapture again Long for the pristine light 12. Elembivos The light, the life, the strength, the harvest, gratefulness In four moons the antlered on will go to rest
