[Composer: Christofer Johnsson, Mats Levén]
In the end of time, in times of revelation
lion from the north appear in the dark nation
Löwe aus der Mitternacht

Ecce vicit Ariel

When Man has found all the three treasures
stars will fall and the Lion rise
Ariel, break the seventh seal
Abaddon, rise from the great black sea
Read the forecast - Fear the Eagle
See the wonders - Trust the Lion
Read the prophecy, the saviour of midnight
Ascending right now to bring us Borean light
Löwe aus der Mitternacht

Ecce vicit Ariel
Break the seal and make the Lion rise
When Man has found all the three treasures

Abaddon, rise from the great black sea
2. Gothic Kabbalah
[Composer: Petter Karlsson]
Listen when the Sibyl speak
(of) prophecies and ciphers in the sky
Adulruna is her name
I will follow - Come to me!
Fifteen runes (were) revealed to me
A holy message from the Frey to Man
Secret letters in my mind
the door is open in your dreams
From ancient days the Sibyl speaks to me
through the northern wind
the Talisman of Gothic Kabbalah (she) reveals to me
The staves and runes are written in the sky
Read the book of Gog
The Talisman of Gothic Kabbalah (will) unite your soul
Kabbalah Upsalica
Odin, Thor and Frey, you'll find them here
I'm the runic kabbalist, the door is open in your dreams
From thrones and temples of the mighty gods
in the halls above the words and runes of
Gothic Kabbalah (are) once again revealed
The soul will fly, ascending into the sky to the halls above
The words and runes of Gothic Kabbalah
they'll break he chains
From ancient days the Sibyl speaks to me
through the northern wind
the Talisman of Gothic Kabbalah (she) reveals to me
The staves and runes are written in the sky
Read the book of Gog
The Talisman of Gothic Kabbalah (will) unite your soul
3. The Perennial Sophia
[Composer: Johan Niemann, Mats Levén, Petter Karlsson]
Enter paradise, the snake will find the way
She is Lilith, fallen from the sky
Fall into our world, the Snake of paradise
(You're the) Maid of Wisdom in (the) songs of Orpheus
She's the wisdom, she's the truth: The Eternal Sophia
Perennial, beyond the time, she is the one
You're the river, you're the womb
The perennial
The Sophia
Sophia is here
do we need to fear?
She's the gem of (the) mind
... (or the) serpent for the blind
She will make me see
or she will punish me
She appear in a glare
or disappear
She's the wisdom, she's the truth: The Eternal Sophia
Perennial, beyond the time, she is the one
You're the river, you're the womb
The perennial
The Sophia
Shekinah, Shekinah
Eternal Sophia
Shekinah, Shekinah
Eternal Sophia
She's the wisdom, she's the truth: The Eternal Sophia

You're the river, you're the womb

Sophia...
4. Wisdom And The Cage
[Composer: Kristian Niemann, Petter Karlsson]
I am trapped in matters cage
I am locked in heavy chains
Sophia, please rescue me, from the carnal darkness in the shades of reflections
Break the chains and the cage!
Byrghal is the only door to the path of Tinctura, (to an) alchemy within my soul, that will guide my spirit and may lead to perfection
Break the chains and the cage!
Sophia, I believe in you, your light...
Shine inside my soul, I feel the sun from above
Sophia, I believe in you, your light is so bright
Shine inside my soul, I feel the sun from above

6. Tuna 1613
[Composer: Petter Karlsson, Snowy Shaw]
Flash of light, from the sky above
I'm the augur of runes
I'm the Lion Man
Flash of light, early in this winter dawn a vision of hidden truths in Tuna
IVDICIVM, the year I have waited for. I read it (in) the prophecy
Year of doom...
I can see! I'm filled with this fantasy
The King is my company in Tuna
The judgement day, it has been revealed to me (in) a moment of ecstasy
I can see!
Flash of light, from the sky above
I'm the augur of runes
I'm the Lion Man
666, the number was shown to me
I'm filled with this prophecy in Tuna
A Momentum excitationis
In the year of IVDICIVM - year of Doom
Flash of light, from the sky above
I'm the augur of runes
I'm the Lion Man
7. Trul
[Composer: Petter Karlsson]
If you run in the track of wolves you're entering Trul
A land beyond the Shepherds grove in the depth of night
Do you understand?
Runes expelled from the world of God, (runes) with demons and trolls
(They will) push you down with the trident fork, (the) four stave rage of man
Enter Trul
Wolves are going to hunt the shepherds flock and tear them apart
Bear the sign of the beasts of Trul, (the) four stave rage of man
Enter Trul
8. Close Up The Streams
[Composer: Christofer Johnsson, Mats Levén]
"Close up the Streams", I was told
"Look, (the) meadows have drunk enough"
In words like this, there's a sign: A secret I will proclaim
Run to meet me, said the voice
Run to meet me, walk to me
GÆGHN MIS, GÆGHN MIS
Run to meet me, walk to me
RIVos IaM CLaVDe
pVer sat prata bIberVnt
Close up the streams, now it's time for revelations to come
Angels are grinding their swords
Muses are singing their song
Run to meet me, said the voice
Run to meet me, walk to me
GÆGHN MIS, GÆGHN MIS
Run to meet me, walk to me
RIVos IaM CLaVDe pVer sat prata bIberVnt
9. The Wand Of Abaris
[Composer: Christofer Johnsson, Kristian Niemann]
Walking through heat and desert sand
high priest of the Egyptian land
on his way to the land of snow
From his wand all the magic flows
The wand is glowing in the dark
Abaris show the way to Man
Sparks and arrows of the sun
Penetrates the human mind
Leave the groves of Arcady
take the wand across the sea
(The) rune of EiwaR is guiding you
A Delphian forecast of what to do
Enter Sanctum of Upsala
earthly foretaste of Walhalla
The wand is glowing in the dark
Abaris show the way to Man
Sparks and arrows of the sun
Penetrates the human mind
Leave the groves of Arcady
take the wand across the sea
I see divine Abaris in the labyrinth
I hold the bow and arrow made of hidden runes
10. Three Treasures
[Composer: Christofer Johnsson]
One day three men will find the cure of all pain, hidden somewhere between the realms of France and Spain
Iliaster!
The first man thirty two, last one twenty eight
The second is fifty
The finding is their fate
(The) spirit in the bottle, they will set it free
(It is) made of salt and sulphur and of mercury
Old hidden treasures, three we will find
Diamonds and pearls, the gold of the mind
One is found in Weida, one in Germany, between Schwaben (and) Bayern
Gems of alchemy
Iliaster!
All of this (a) legend of the great man Bombast, the second Trismegist,
Philip Theophrast
Old hidden treasures, three we will find
Diamonds and pearls, the gold of the mind
11. Path To Arcady
[Composer: Petter Karlsson, Kristian Niemann]
When I recall your name, I recall the time
when Hermes (Trismegist) and Orpheus wrote down the rhyme
When I recall your name...
When I recall your name...
Follow the emerald of eternity
Follow the path of Thor, and a path to Arcady
When I recall your name...
When I recall your name...
When I recall your name, I recall the time
when the philosophers where striving for (the) sublime
When I recall your name...
When I recall your name...
If you recall the name, you recall the sight
of the perennial and of the eternal light
When I recall your name...
When I recall your name...
12. TOF - The Trinity
[Composer: Kristian Niemann, Mats Levén, Petter Karlsson]
Inside the hof, the statues stand
They talk to us through sacred wood
Odin, Thor and Frey the god
We worship them, this trinity
Sacred lore of father Thor - the superior in the sky
was brought to us, by the lion. The salvation when we die
Door of Thor to Walhalla, is wide open to the one
who knows the key of Jupiter - adulruna of the sun
Byrghal, Sunna, Idher, Man, Haghal
Kaghvänd, Thora, Signum foederis
T. O. F - Trinity
Open the door - O' father Thor
T. O. F - Trinity
Deep in the well I gaze, the fire of Thor I face
The surface exposes the god who's present inside my blood
To walk with gods is the goal of my spirit, body and soul
I find the gods in the maze in thunder, and godlike blaze
T. O. F - Trinity
High one and low one, you will be one
climbing the mountain, enter the sun
Byrghal and Thora, you will unite
like Frey and Freya, darkness and light
Open the door - O' father Thor
Deep in the well I gaze, the fire of Thor I face
The surface exposes the god who's present inside my blood.
13. Chain Of Minerva
[Composer: Johan Niemann, Petter Karlsson, Mats Levén]
Adelruna antiqua
The prophecy of Sibylla
I look into the mirror, a picture appears
Future, future...
A prophecy I see
I behold in the well: 2012
On the cross, on the hanged man's flesh you can read the runes of this prophecy
I can read the signs
I see!
Eagles don't eat flies
Movements in the sky predict the year
The mind of mine flies high
Adelruna antiqua
The prophecy of Sibylla
I stand on the mountain
I decipher the runes
I see, I hear the link of Minerva
The sound of astral bells
2012
I'm a link on Minerva's chain
I'm the lion
Bure is the (chosen) one
I can read the signs
I see!
Eagles don't eat flies
Movements in the sky predict the year
The mind of mine flies high
Adelruna antiqua
The prophecy of Sibylla
14. The Falling Stone
[Composer: Petter Karlsson]
It's about to crack the crystal sphere
Let a flake of heaven fall to Man
(The) falling stone
Do you want them to read just like us, all the signs?
Fifteen runes on the cube, all of the keys above
Yes, let us give them Abaris wand
Fruits of wisdom make them all ascend to the sun
But they may be sunblind from the light of the stone
(the) burning crystals of light, the gem of Lucifer
I will bring them keys to eternity, on this ladder (they) all will come back to me
When they rise up, soon they will fall again like the angels, waiting for a descent
It's about to crack the crystal sphere
Let a flake of heaven fall to Man
(The) falling stone
Do you want them to read just like us, all the signs?
Fifteen runes on the cube, all of the keys above
I will bring them keys to eternity, on this ladder (they) all will come back to me
When they rise up, soon they will fall again like the angels, waiting for a descent
15. Adulruna Rediviva
[Composer: Christofer Johnsson, Kristian Niemann]
Shine on me Runa
Rune rediviva, you're reborn at last, from the past
GÆGHN MIS
Adulruna Rediviva Adulruna
Hear the calling: "Walk to meet me! Run to meet me!"
In ancient days, in an ancient world, the Sibyls sung their melodies
But the song is lost, and no one hear when Sibyls speak the words of gods
the world is deaf
Ancient Sibylla we will follow you...
Adulruna, old Sibylla
Hear our calling, speak to Mankind!
O' Hermes Trismegistos, Orpheus, Zarathustra, Pythagoras and Plato
Mediate the wisdom!
Philosophers eternal, make the spirit flying, rising to spheres harmonic
where Sibyls are still singing
Leo, are you roaring to make the world awake again?
See Sophia descending from the sky
Drink the sacred nectar from the rose
The maiden has returned!
The root of mandragora (is the) foetus of Sibylla
The pages of the Runa, mediate her message
Sibylla, Sophia, she is born (the) female Christ
Aphrodite from the sea, (O) sacred rose come to me
Come, come
Rise, Rise
Venus Venus
The nectar and the bloodred wine, intoxicated, expel the time
O' Hermes Trismegistos, Orpheus, Zarathustra, Pythagoras and Plato
Mediate her message!
Rise O' wise Venus, Rune Rediviva!
