[00:00.00]Sol, Sol Invictus
[00:05.76]
[00:46.46]In this holiest of seasons, twelve nights betwixt the years
[00:52.91]The silence of winter is all-consuming
[00:58.45]Our homesteads lie sleeping the old folks are watchful
[01:06.10]Gruesome tales of corn-demons (to forewarn) the young
[01:12.54]Over the mountain, to the hidden temple
[01:18.80]Where the pillar of flames shall be summoned by the priest
[01:25.29]On through the biting frost and the wind-driven snow
[01:31.28]A belling of stags echoes in the woods
[01:37.40]
[01:37.41]In this ice-cold Solstice night death and resurrection await
[01:45.63]To invoke the rebirth of the sun
[01:50.52]
[01:50.53]From darkness grows light, from ashes a fire
[01:56.77]To conquer the cold
[02:03.28]The rites of Yuletide defying the times
[02:09.52]The virgin-born child
[02:14.04]
[02:14.85]Sol, Sol Invictus
[02:21.07]Shining Guardian of the west
[02:27.50]In saecula saeculorum
[02:33.81]Conquer with fire and with faith
[02:40.11]
[02:54.82]A solemn pilgrimage through nightclad wintry woods
[03:00.92]Ghosts of winter screaming to lure us all astray
[03:07.40]Neolithic magick, wisdom without words
[03:13.66]Bloodbound memories pierce the gossamer veils of time
[03:19.82]
[03:19.83]In this ice-cold Solstice night death and resurrection await
[03:28.03]And summer shall fall on our soil
[03:32.91]
[03:32.92]From darkness grows light, from ashes a fire
[03:39.23]To conquer the cold
[03:45.55]The rites of Yuletide defying the times
[03:51.93]The virgin-born child
[03:56.80]
[03:56.81]Sol, Sol Invictus
[04:03.49]Shining Guardian of the west
[04:09.77]In saecula saeculorum
[04:16.18]Conquer with fire and with faith
[04:22.45]
[04:48.37]Blood-sacrifice for the three-fold goddess
[04:51.52]Summon the Goat with a Thousand Young
[04:54.65]Mithras Invictus Jesus Christus
[04:58.07]Fire brings cleansing, fertility through death
[05:07.67]
[05:13.95]Mummers rage through snow covered villages
[05:16.94]Reaping the souls of the careless and young
[05:20.24]Domina Perahta grant us good harvest
[05:23.67]In barter for the blood of one third of our youth
[05:26.78]
[05:26.79]The sunwheels are rolling, the hillside’s on fire
[05:30.05]From Albion to Attica old Europe’s ablaze
[05:33.05]Unbroken tradition, neolithic bloodline
[05:36.25]The Horned God approaches, the chanting now fades
[05:50.48]The chanting now fades
[06:22.58]
[06:25.03]Solo
[07:18.30]
[07:18.31]At the standing stones the scythe will set him free
[07:24.16]Bound to the oak, the Kingpriest’s life for our creed
[07:30.59]A crown of mistletoe, reborn for all to see
[07:36.80]For a new year, in a red dawn, as the new sun
[07:44.76]
[07:44.77]Sol, Sol Invictus
[07:50.65]Invincible sun of the west
[07:56.95]In saecula saeculorum
[08:03.27]Conquer with fire and with faith
[08:12.34]
[08:24.04]From Attica’s green pastures to Albion’s white shores
[08:30.40]From Thule’s boiling geysers to the walls of Hagar Qim
[08:36.87]Beneath the fragile crust of this modern age of reason
[08:43.16]A darker world lies waiting, primordial and pure
[08:50.02]Hidden in the shades from ratio’s great pondering
[08:57.76]to rise when the stars are right
[09:02.53]
[09:02.54]From darkness grows light, from ashes a fire
[09:08.48]To conquer the cold
[09:15.17]The rites of Yuletide defying the times
[09:21.46]The virgin-born child
[09:26.77]
[09:26.78]Sol, Sol Invictus
[09:32.95]Lightbringer of the dreaming west
[09:39.40]In saecula saeculorum
[09:45.86]Conquer with fire and with faith
[09:52.34]
[09:52.35]Sol, Sol Invictus
[09:58.35]Shining Guardian of the west
[10:04.89]In saecula saeculorum
[10:11.36]Conquer with fire and with faith
