Eluveitie Ategnatos 1. Ategnatos On the winnow fields They beheld the gate Trembling with fear And afraid to forfeit Anxiously They clinged to table scrabs As if to aver Their deprivation And the swine crowed round The shining lot of pearls With empty hands The high king reigns Nothing but light The raven flies A fool is the slave Who fears not his fetters But watches over them with jealousy On the winnow fields They beheld their lives Paralysed with fear In the presence of the Vergobret So they cherished Doctrines of denial And wallowed In poor men's tales And the swine crowed round The shining lot of pearls Just like the vultures Grave cadaveric flesh With empty hands The high king reigns Nothing but light The raven flies With empty hands The high king reigns Nothing but light The raven flies 2.

Deathwalker In distress, chased and locked in stalemate Into the cauldron, to embrace eclipse And inhale the harrowing Withering, the sear flesh and blood Elapsed is the momentary host Limp, the broken will, worn down the last stand Extinction! Extinction! And I soar up high into the haven Of the starless night Borne by black wings of dawn I fly away from the bygone As I crossed alone The gold turned into dead stone And I did not look back Nor did I mourn At the gate in a place between dimensions I swathed myself, to embrace eclipse And to sink into the void And I chased through the nightly brake Unseen, shot through icy streams High above the crowns and down into the dark And I soar up high into the haven Of the starless night Borne by black wings of dawn I fly away from the bygone As I crossed alone The gold turned into dead stone And I did not look back Nor did I mourn (Aidus esti - io gnātā uer axsin Bitous uertassit in uextlon) On this bridge so narrow The shoddy rags fell off me Robed in nakedness I entered the gate Deathwalking o'er the searing bridge At the time between the times I witness and herald We do not perish but only slough And I soar up high into the haven Of the starless night Borne by black wings of dawn I fly away from the bygone As I crossed alone The gold turned into dead stone And I did not look back Nor did I mourn 4. Black Water Dawn At the gloaming shore, neither sea nor land The heaving immeasurable darkness ahead Moonlit the stannic waves swell up and threat And the nightly breeze is calling my name I gaze into the night, as if I could see No land in sight but a voracious deep I resign myself onto the barque To set sail to perdition, a fate so dark Can you feel them, can you see them The green hills, the silver stream Can you not see the newborn sky, the auburn sun You are so near the sun of the dawn Across the waves of the fever sea The lashing billows hurling curses at me Bawling the cormorant mouths open wide Snatching and gnawing, bane at my side Deathwards the ferry glides across the waters so deep To the foul land, athwart the venomous sea Resistance worn down and a broken will A crippled heart, sense come to nil Can you feel it, can you hear it The oaks song, the raven's call Can you not see the newborn sky, the auburn sun You are so near the sun of the dawn Can you feel them, can you see them The green hills, the silver stream Can you not see the newborn sky, the auburn sun Can you not see the sun of the dawn You are so near tir' jovincon 5. A Cry in the Wilderness In beauty pristine The nexus is concealed In the blackbirds ornate songs Lo, it is revealed Clandestine in the oaks Majestic crown By an ordinary act Of kindness it is known In the burden of distress There is an urging call In the unexpected chance A beckon from Lugus' hall In the bliss of true love There is foreboding And in suffering Oneiric revealing The endless knot At twilight's call Pervading the vastness of being The fingerprints of Antumnos Are everywhere around us The sun of the night is shining so bright On all we could see The umbilical cord Hark, it reaches down into the dark The sun of the night is blazing so bright The fire primal born from Antumnos Perpetually burning in the omphalos Was made flesh and dwelt among us Full of truth and grace The book lies open The gateways are calling The echoes ring out The words are heard The fingerprints of Antumnos Are everywhere around us The sun of the night is shining so bright On all we could see The umbilical cord Hark, it reaches down into the dark The sun of the night is blazing so bright Aidus esti-io gnata uer axsin bitous Uertassit in uextlon The fingerprints of Antumnos Are everywhere around us The sun of the night is shining so bright On all we could see The umbilical cord Hark, it reaches down into the dark The sun of the night is blazing so bright 6.

Mine Is the Fury With insatiable hunger the godsent avengers They feed on the volatile and evanescent Raving across the face of the Earth Cheering the gods in untamed frenzy Feel the bite of the flames, cathartic firestorm The seas of flames dance in ecstasy See the billows smother cleansing away Pruning of all filth Voracious blaze Engulf and erase In one colossal feast O deep blue flood Roar your symphonia Until there's nothing left Like a relentless wolverine the ravenous unleashed The blood-red swarm is devouring Inferno divine Revelling in sanctity Voracious blaze Engulf and erase In one colossal feast O deep blue flood Roar your symphonia Until there's nothing left Mine is the fury In my hands is justice I bring atonement And herald a new dawn I ring the knell I bring to life I am the healing I am the erasing I am the beginning I am the end The end With insatiable hunger the godsent avengers They feed on the volatile and evanescent Raving across the face of the Earth Cheering the gods in untamed frenzy Feel the weight of the waves, the cleansing storm surge The invincible shall pacify The wheel shall turn as it is foretold Exult and rejoice Voracious blaze Engulf and erase In one colossal feast O deep blue flood Roar your symphonia Until there's nothing left 10. The Slumber Step by step We trudge on On this scarlet road Adrift and immured Keen and uncured Grimly walking the will of the one One foot in front of the other one On this steep road paved with our blood Step by step we march a long walk And breath by breath we just plough on And I long to wake Come up for air But we stagger in slumber Sleepwalking and lost The long march we wander Dreaming of the promised land And mocked by the death knell at hand One truth after the other one Given and served we swallow down Day by day we drink the blood of our sons So they will walk this road again But we stagger in slumber Sleepwalking and lost The long march we wander Dreaming of the promised land And mocked by the death knell at hand Whitedreaming One, two! One, two! Forlorn, march! Linewalking Lift your eyes I can see the light March on, march on Lift your eyes You can see it too March on voidwards Lift your eyes I can see the light March on, we march on Lift your eyes You can see it too March on voidwards And I long to wake Come up for air But we stagger in slumber Sleepwalking and lost The long march we wander Dreaming of the promised land But we stagger in slumber Sleepwalking and lost The long march we wander Dreaming of the promised land And mocked by the death knell at hand 11. Worship And I saw a beast ascending up of the sea of the West And the beast whom I saw, was like a colossus Having a crown with ten teeth, and on the ten teeth the names of blasphemy And from his mouth ran the blood of men And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies and power was given to it And all men, worshiped it that dwell in earth Whose ears be not tethered to the divine tongue If any man can hear, hear he And I saw another beast ascending up from the abyss Alike a Taurus, and it had two horns made of gold And it spake blasphemies and did all the power of the former beast in his sight And it made the earth and all men dwelling in it To worship the first beast RĪGEI SESRONEŪI!

The last thing to see is The bottom of a fucking cask? Feeding the crows Dangling and putrid In the presence of my own hollowness Kindling the flames Scorching and charred The incarnation of my vainness What once was believed to be glory Paled into a scorn, left to derision Time stood still as I bode the cold iron And the tendonds coiled around my neck The carnyx shrill and a world once known Slowly sank in numbing red Will you remember me Still know my name When I'm set free? Is this the way it all ends now? Sense wrest from me And dignity stripped off it's meaning A plenary sacrifice The carnyx shrill and a world once known Slowly sank in numbing red The carnyx roared twice and once more Afore pervasively The raven's call rang out Will you remember me Still know my name When I'm set free? Will you still bide awhile At the great rock In the evening light? Will you remember me Still know my name When I'm set free? Will you still bide awhile At the great rock In the evening light? Will you remember me Still know my name When I'm set free? Will you still bide awhile At the great rock In the evening light? 14. Breathe Blind and beset They lurch towards pale void A ghostly host of exiled souls They've haunted us For they cannot see And burned the ones Who set them free I've yearned for you I've yearned for way too long I'm coming home Home again I'm now born again I lunge into you And I'll breathe again I'm coming home Behold, I have fought my fight, I've run my race I will be gone, I will be reborn Into the dark, into the rock Bright sun of the night, I'm coming home Home, home again I'm now born again I lunge into you And I'll breathe again I'm coming home Forsaken! Everything that was became what is And what withers and dies is but alike the larva in its cocoon I'm coming home Home again I'm now born again I lunge into you And I'll breathe again I'm coming home Home again I'm now born again I lunge into you And I'll breathe again I'm coming home Tigerne nemeson tigerne moníon Anson carantos arevoset ver roccíā Vediíomos cixset sī ambi bitun in esíās moníobi Sucelle ater argíī trē esíās moníūs wa Ad nemesā ad antumnon 15. Rebirth Oh bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee Oh ye amber golden light let the dark sweep over me Mighty cauldron, oh nidus I surrender all to thee Panacean nothingness when nothing is left These dreadful shades Dancing in my dwindling sight And crying out these hollow words A straying soul in my scorching flesh Dying down amid this fucking blaze My swooning world Infested by strident cries In a worship of the void All vanishing in a dull and distant noise Oh bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee Oh ye amber golden light let the dark sweep over me Mighty cauldron, oh nidus I surrender all to thee Panacean nothingness when nothing is left This was my rebirth As one with pain and with distress Sweet surrender in serenity Will I remember this womb at all? Will I ever know? Oh bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee Oh ye amber golden light let the dark sweep over me Mighty cauldron, oh nidus I surrender all to thee Panacean nothingness when nothing is left I am not here I do not last I am the grain in the earth I am the wave in the deep I am the softly whispered word In the murmuring autumn breeze In front of Antumnos' gate I beheld the mirror in the lake Recognize I did not Nor did I comprehend Oh bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee Oh ye amber golden light let the dark sweep over me Mighty cauldron, oh nidus I surrender all to thee Panacean nothingness when nothing is left This was my rebirth 16. Eclipse O bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee O ye amber golden light Let the dark sweep over me Mighty cauldron, o nidus I surrender all to thee Panacean nothingness When nothing is left O ye fathomless night I give myself up to thee And when my time is nigh Let the silent swallow me Sacred bosom, o dear grove I offer thee myself And I shall rejoice when nothing is left O bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee O ye amber golden light Let the dark sweep over me Mighty cauldron, o nidus I surrender all to thee Panacean nothingness When nothing is left O ye fathomless night I give myself up to thee And when my time is nigh Let the silent swallow me Sacred bosom, o dear grove I offer thee myself And I shall rejoice when nothing is left O bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee O ye amber golden light Let the dark sweep over me Mighty cauldron, o nidus I surrender all to thee Panacean nothingness When nothing is left
