Opera IX - Maleventum lyrics



Tracks



01. Maleventum

It's the night of Shabbat The Plenilune Feast
Rise from your mortal sleep and let your astral body glide away
With the sacred ointment plunge into the new dream
Follow the way of the secret life
Silently graze archaic dimensions
On water and over wind

The god of woods call his sons,
Enraptured by his power,
Follow the divine melody
The magic key
Penetrate the forest's heart and be led to the Sabbath,
Till the flight's end
Vivid flares flashing in darkness are reflected
In the owl's fixed eyes
Walk along the hidden paths

Nine kinds of wood nourish fire and fire marks your destination
It reveals the glade
And the walnut you knew through the deer's eyes

Maleventum

A long black robe appears among the trees
His gaze lighted upon the moon
His barbarian hymn hails to the moon
Nine words of nine letters thunder in silence
And the night's star reveals its secret nature
His shout opens the black diamond doors
The circle holds on tight to him
The old chant sing out

Palas Aron Ozimonas
Baske Bano Tudan Donas
Geheamel Cla Orlay
Berec he pantaras tay

02. Princess Of The Ancient

I'm the encounter dance I'm the chain dance
I'm the blending of darkness and light
I lead the snake's circle in the thirteen moon's night

I give my blood to mother earth

Burn fire, burn bright Burn fire, burn bright
Fire, bright Fire, bright

Come to me, pure vision
Lead my steps in this night with the power of your light
Come to me, pure vision
Lead my steps in this night with the power of your light

Oh, master of winds and magic dances,
Take my most solemn prayer with you in the star's circle
Listen to the invocation words
Listen and reveal yourself, Isis

Celestial arc, earth,
Life's and death's donor,
Persephone, Astarte, Astoreth, Inanna
We are born from you

Lead us in the earth deep in ourself
Let us drink the hidden spring's water and we will see what we will not reveal

I'm the end of the shady path,
Me, Diana of cross-roads,
Hecate, Selene of the Moon
Sink Into the eternal and primordial sleep
Sink Into the inner earth's secret heart

Forget and keep silent,
Drink Persephone's water,
At the secret source, beside the sacred tree
Now I'm the secret queen
Of air and earth, of fire and water,
Of human souls and destiny's dream

The chant is dying out In a vibrating echo,
Dusk melting Into the silvery night of plenilune
Hoor Apep The depth's dragon will rise, now
Hoor Apep The depth's dragon will rise, now
Now!

03. Unearthed Arcana

Consecrate the altar with your symbols
This is the night when the breeze will rekindles the sacred fire and when the sacred stones will sing your new name
It's the night of the breeze rekindling the sacred fire, (It's The Night) of the sacred stones singing your new name
Draw the circle with the Athame and undress your candid body
To let the eye of the Gods see your essence

Guardians of the north, sacred spirits of the earth In the dark of your warm womb accept my death I offer you my greetings
And I welcome you

Guardians of the east, sacred spirits of the Air As the sun rises from the east
After the night, guide my soul to a new birth. (Lead my soul to a new dawn)

Guardians of the south, sacred spirits of the Fire
Protect me and lighten my journey on the new path
Watch over me and make my journey on the new path bright and clear
I offer you my greetings and I welcome you

Guardians of the west,
Sacred spirit of the water purify me and make me clear as new spring
I offer you my greetings and I welcome you

Death is waiting and widening its voracious mouth.
I am entering the dark before the creation
I am entering the womb of the Goddess
May my body born again
May my soul stay in peace,
May my heart be ready

Sink yourself in the warm earth
Sink your mind in the ancient litany
Dark mother take me in

Let me be born again
We all come from the same womb
This is the song of the goddess,
The key to the great union.
Anoint your breast and your womb
Widen the door of the new fate
And introduce yourself with your new name

Ensemble of flesh enlived by new power
Take the cup and the Athame
Raising your arms to the sempitern eye
As the cup is female so the knife is male now joined they bring blessing
Consecrate your sacrifice and
Enjoy the gifts of the great mother
Close your circle and step over,
In the truth that all (the) circles hold

Go now you, new creature
Now the master of the Only art
That all the arts contains
And where all the arts come from.
Live with honour
And with honour die
You the master of the
Only arcane craft
That all the arts gathers

04. In The Dark I Found The Reflection Of The Hidden Mirrors

The breeze, with its tossing about, speaks of the movements on the water
Surface and sends out the shivers
From those waves I will read the future fate

Oh silphs, inhabitants of the Air,
Be the mediators between me and the immaterial beings
By Paralda dominated

So that I may decipher to roar of the wind

Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas

The ethereal foundation, void of every substance
Ouroboros you are the void that everything is,
You are the primordial substance that is chaos
Now no more shapeless and empty as the central fire
Vibrates and floods it with light
The real secret is still unspeakable

Only through the mediation of symbols it can be pronounced,
Its thought has been awaken by the changed vision of all things
Oh silence, teach the disciple of the ancient wise men,
So that every shape may become expressive and every sign may suggest deep
vision

The snake, son of Apsu generates the chaos,
Its motto is one for everything

05. Muscaria

Circle within circle
Towards the warm heart of the earth
Circle within circle
Falling, falling inside my wideness

I opened wide the doors of the underworld
Fragment making up a part of the eternity
In the eternal forest shelter I found
Guest of its big trees
Fed on its abundance

Through unknown land I traveled
In the fatherland, over there
Where the giants dwell
I followed gods' footsteps
Towards a high mountain
Set in its stone a great throne I saw
And on it a small and wrinkled man
Looking at me frowning under its big red hat

I am the great deer
Who runs between dimensions
I am the mother
Who gave birth to all religions
I am the stairway linking the opposites
I am the door leading to the sidh

Great is my spirit, matchless my power
Fear of me, (Mortal) men
If afraid of me you are
Then your trembling soul I will eat up

Great will be your medicine
If my words you are able to listen
Great will be your strength
If from the deer's flesh you feed
Great will be your wisdom
If you know how to ride on me.

So then at the house of the gods
I will lead you going up the great river,
Going up the great river

Towards the starry sky
And of a different destiny
I will clad you
You will meet all the spirits
And with them you will compete your strength
To be a real man
Your humanity you must shed
And when the right time comes
I will kill you

So that you might be born again to life
The only master of your destiny becoming

Circle within circle
The tired reality is closing
Like a flower at dusk
Waiting for the cold dew
Circle within circle
Following the path of the dawn
Through the night crowded with its dreams In a sacred glade
I woke up, three moons in the sky I saw
On my knees at the foot of the king's rock I greeted them

Circle within circle
Then into a wolf I turned myself
And in the night I ran away
Circle within circle

06. Forgotten Gods

Through the eyes of the raven
I saw the rain falling on the world
The entire nature bending
Under the vehemence of the furious wind
That was the time,
The favour of the Stone, I asked
And they, water in ice,
Turned in response
Widening their warm mouths
Down they pushed me
Into the great bear's den

Rich and prosperous land,
Of noble blood, of ancient and fighting race made
Through a veil of dreams never born
Drawing the sword
Their king I challenged
Smiling over there I was taken
Where the mystery of the springs lies
I drank and (Under the spell) dreaming I fell

It was the wind primary engine
To give me the knowledge of the eternal movement
Then the earth
A body gave me and the space was limited
The water
Blood became and my dry flesh refreshed
And above all the fire
Of inspiration the main source

Along the black spiral
Where the eternal tree walks on
Up to the roots of the true power,
I danced
At the base of the spine
The pillar that sustains the worlds,
The great stone have tuned up a new song

Unlucky you who don't recognize who gave you life
Small your flame and
Recid your light shall be
If from your land power don't draw
As a new new baby suckling a right nipple to suck

You should to find when the thirst for knowledge
Your throat will dry
Then you'll become the voice and the action of the earth that made you
And shaping it in return
Under our verb it will be

We the forgotten gods,
Stronger than ever we will be back
When the track is beaten
And the great stones once again will be honoured

07. In The Raven's Eye

So the vision began
And a mighty wind shook the roots of the nine worlds
The great wolf of the night roused
And a deep slash cracked open the primordial ice

I saw him coming from the north
The father of all gods
Two crows next to him
Two wolves at his sides

In the grey cape wrapped I saw him coming,
With the name of all things in his hand.
He widened the big eye, this he said, War!

I know, for nine whole nights you hung down from the tree
By the mercy of the wind shaken
By the spear injured

To Odin sacrificed,
Myself to myself
On that tree, of unknown roots, grown

Nor bread nor drinking horn was given
Towards the ground my look I cast
The runes I picked up, shouting I took them
And from up there I fell
The eye shut itself
And from his hand I fell
The human error I understood

Almost no soul to sustain me
As if an infernal wind wanted
To tear it away from me
Through the pain I saw and through it I understood

As too great was the chaos (at the beginning)
Now too great was the order
The great millstone of the sky
A new circle was about to be prepared.
It was time for war
Next to our fathers we would have fought once again
