Once More the chains of time are fading As the three-fold goddess shows her face Neath dark horizons armies gather Apostates tremble as we march The godless heathens they cower in their crannochs As we march forth from Autumn's golden mist Ten-thousand Strong, in search for glory and wisdom The ageless altars of reason now in sight The gates of twilight open, a crown of oak and bone Enthroned in stone and starlight The goddess unfolds the path Arise now from thy sleep* Cast off the chains of guilt Her voice is calling you The goddess stands unveiled In the light of the evening star** Wooden idols gaze from solemn dead eyes Witness to the pagan age When blood was spilt in hope for summer and corn And dead cold bodies lowered to the moors The road to Keter beckons Crown of the Sephirot Vanquished is all iniquity Dominion of timeless bliss
Arise now from thy sleep* Cast off the chains of guilt Her voice is calling you The goddess stands unveiled The goddess in the darkness spoke Of days to come and empires to fall Awake now! From the sleep of thousand centuries The spell has been broken Your soul is free to soar For all the words unspoken, for all the deeds undone For all our shattered dreams, for all the songs unsung For all the lines unwritten and all our broken hearts For all our wounds still bleeding and all our kingdoms come For all loved ones never forgotten and all burning memories Goddess take our hand, oh won't you grant us peace For all that we are longing for yet we shall never have Beyond the dreaming west, once we all will be healed [* "slumber" is given in the booklet but "sleep" is sung] [** This line is given in the booklet but is not sung]
