Gorath
The Fourth Era
1. Sagittarius
Once our human language has been transcended
Verbal experience acquired by numbers
All is number ‒ God is number ‒ God is in all
Our link with the galaxy is unifying
This world age cycle will close down
The dying old world will transform
As the grand wizard of time
The shield's message is revealed
The end ‒ the shift ‒ the time
In a manner which cannot be denied
The living prophecy will take its form
In the dark rift of constellation Sagittarius
A bifurcation caused by interstellar dust clouds
Higher goals are set
In this black road to the underworld
To battle the lords has begun
Even the sun would sink into this dark cleft
We all will drown into unknown consciousness
This is the exact entrance taking you the to heart of sky
The grand cycle of evolution will culminate
Winter solstice ‒ the quickening
The Earth will transit the twelve signs of the Zodiac
This is the dawning of a new age
2. Xibalba Be
Hear the chants from deep below
Enticing mortal hearts prepare to part
Now enter the realm of the dead
Known as the giant Hun Came's kingdom
Co-reigned by the sun, the moon and the light
Vucub Caquix ‒ Deadly death God
Vucub Caquix ‒ black hole prophet
Another night swallows daytime light
Breeding all what we will never know
And never want to know
The steep road that lies ahead leads to a dark place of fright
All covered with thorns and flanked by abysses
Face evil demons daring to challenge the Gods
Mysterious star ‒ super nova ‒ X1
Zodiac Cygnus with your fake sun
Burn in flames and fulfill the creation
All covered with thorns and flanked by abysses
Face evil demons daring to challenge the Gods
Vucub Caquix ‒ deadly death God
Vucub Caquix ‒ black hole prophet
Another night swallows daytime light
Breeding all what we will never know
All covered with thorns and flanked by abysses
Face evil demons daring to challenge the Gods
3. Create & Renew
Source of matter ‒ source of spirit
Spiralling in and spiralling out
People growing towards the sun
Grow together and live as one...
As one...
Create, centre and renew
Before the first dawning ever known
Gods gathered on sacred ground
Confessing sins around the fire
Search the stars for what we are
And find we need not look so far
Inside of us, deep down inside
Are kept the secrets of all time
This ambitious divine self offering
Feels there's plenty of time to stop, to end the rituals of its first creation
And make the sun to be born
Search the stars for what we are
And find we need not look so far
Inside of us, deep down inside
Are kept the secrets of all time
Finding rhythm ‒ Speaking rhythm
Renew the ancient paradigm
Movement and measure, sowing and dawning
Star of the evening, star of the morning
The heart of all space sets the horizon ablaze
A mysterious day sign, bringer of birth
A new world was finally born
And the first deed was brought to an end
It comes from the stars and springs from the Earth
One Ahau will start the churning
Watch for Venus, begin the learning
Teaching us the way to see and how to climb the Sacred Tree
One Ahau will start the churning
Watch for Venus, begin the learning
Teaching us the way to see and how to climb the Sacred Tree
The Sacred Tree...
4. Descending (The Realm)
5. The Fifth Birth
During the first era there was Earth and all living creatures living on it
Nor bird or beast fit the match fine and pleased the Gods they should
During the second and third era there was men not as we know it in post-modern times
No men whatsoever fit the match fine and pleased the Gods they should
Perception nihil ‒ triple annihilation
During the fourth and also last era men returned never to match again
Time is ending the invention itself
As everything reduces to the outset
In nanoseconds the previous doubles
Defined methods become infinite
And time will exist no more
Cloning the invincible landscape
The Mandelbrot fractal pattern reveals each time sixty-four times life on Earth, times another creation, times historical time started
And a year of many changes
During the fifth era a new dawning will be born
It will be known as space being reshaped
The new math of nature exploding all what once was
A spiritual re-birth on the point of null
Inverted psychological collective consciousness
We embrace the world in our hands...
6. Zenith Point
Godforsaken astral intelligence
Suck us into your vortex world
Take our worthless being to a summit
To a zenith point between the stars
Perceive the beauty of a blooming desert flower
May the dream of life run in circles wide
Through the soil we will live as Gods
And in eternity we will extol
We will extol...
As not forgotten our true filthy nature
The source of where it all springs
Earth, water, wind fire
The four elements hatching a Devil's breed
Earth, water, wind...
Fire
Self destructive intentions
Genetically hand down ambitions of greed
Just a few steps to go under
The soil where it all was set in motion
Live by the traditions of the maize
And despite the empty minded we should embrace
Each evolution is a step backwards
With no minus zero decisive answers
7. Cosmogenesis
Raped from her own mother's womb
She gave birth to where time is not defined
Raped from her own mother's womb
She gave birth to where time is not defined
Aligned with the aisle of the stars
Life has been created at all times it was before
An in-existent notion undefined
Each centre has its deity
Some were false others were proven good
In a world of which cannot be said
Intelligence has reached borders abroad
Once foreground and background itemize
Add the ir- on reversible
To recognize time does go back
To primeval galaxies not imaginary
Some may deny of what cannot be sensed
Yet they do glorify
Know there where three cosmic centres: polar, zenith and galactic
Some may deny of what cannot be sensed
Yet they do glorify
A cosmological orientation points out there is only one
One shift unable to turn
One room divides darkness from light
Our own spiral of life
Our nature of it all
Each centre has its deity
Some were false others were proven good
In a world of which cannot be said
Intelligence has reached borders abroad
Once foreground and background itemize
Add the ir- on reversible
One
8. The Astronaut of Palenque
From across the endless oceans that border these ancient lands
The bearer of the serpent seal came
On a dragon cutting through the waves
He bore the traits of a race unknown
His weathered skin was fair and pale
His imposing beard bore the same colour
As furious wave tops breaking on the shore
So was his hair, waving in the briny wind
His fierce, piercing erudite eyes in between
Seemed to contain the bluest mountain sky
When he spoke, he did in a tongue unknown
The strange words that rolled over his lips
Were previously unheard on these Mayan shores
Yet his deep voice conveyed divine wisdom
Patiently the stranger initiated them
They learned to grow crops and harvest
The art of writing was revealed to them
One day, the bearer of the serpent left
Back over the great ocean, never to return
Never, never, never...
Votan...
Throughout the ages, generations came and went
Men and their sons would gaze at the horizon
In vain waiting for he, who gave all meaning
Still his name would echo for Aeons on end
He bore the traits of a race unknown
His weathered skin was fair and pale
His imposing beard bore the same colour
As furious wave tops breaking on the shore
