Xaos Oblivion - Serpent Rites

The memories carved in stone
Buried int he darkest roots...

...of Yggdrassil

Forgotten lore of cosmic rights
Runes as old as the world itself
Deepest thoughts
Consciousness spread its glorious wings
Over the highest mountains
And forgotten forests
Yet again, we see the
Infinite cycle of life and death
The essence of all

Forest rise its wings
Feathers made of autumn leaves
And bellow the darkest paths
Only the great serpent knows
The beginning and the end

We call upon the...
Ancient snake
Mentioned in the primeval chapters
Soul of the norse realm - Ragnarok Wyrm
The unnamed destroyer of Eden
King of serpents that wraps
The highest peaks of fortold Tatra

He is life
He is death
He is evil spirit avenger

Bright tempter of first men
Infinite Uroborus and
Nature own creation
The beginning and the end
Only the great serpent knows

The mountains are far away
Too far to see the light

So he brings the fruit
Forbidden flame banned by the gods
Eyes were open, mind was released
Free will was born from the ashes
And dust, the way, that was
The begging and will be the end

Now after many dark ages
And cold winters humanity forgot about
His shimmering presence
Once more long forgotten ancient rights
Shall be remembered with the stimulated awareness

Since now, the gleam of will is gone
We all sit on the throne of sorrow
Dressed in black nausea, or we sleep
In the cradle of neverending trance
In the realm without doors

Awake us, dragon
Awake us, snake
Awake great wyrm, lightbringer!
Let the serpent cast away our spirit
From the depths and realms of endless
Cold void - Ginnungagap!

He is life
He is death
He is evil spirit avenger

Bright tempter of first men
Infinite flame and
Nature own creation
