Lyrics:
Insurmountable secrets of the ones that live below
Ingurgitate the glow of the virilis
Godly wisdom, Theosophia, come heal me
Crown me usurper over my inner daemon
We force a shape of light
As golden as we are
To become what we will be
Forever more
While the shade of light,
As vibrant as it seems,
is a sempiternal void
ringing like a dissonant chant
Ad arma!
Enter the arcane shrine of the hyperborean
Invigorating light shine down, clandestine and myriad
Bathe your tarnished self in the golden rays of zest
Exulting reincarnation roistering within
Ad arma!
Insurmountable secrets of the ones that live below
Clear becomes the voice of the virilis
Godly wisdom, Theosophia, come heal me
I become usurper over my inner reign
We force a shape of light
As golden as we are
To become what we will be
Redeemer incarnate
Enter the arcane shrine of the hyperborean
Invigorating lights shine down, clandestine and myriad
Exulting reincarnation
Kyrie tou pyros
Phere phos
Pyr aenos
Summoning light, summoning throe
The Hierophant way
Gathering the absolute ardor
The Hierophant way
Gathering the absolute
