Phoenicia, Possessor of seas. To Latium, Into the dream. Marked Stones, Arrayed, The Horse, The Hawk, And the many rayed Sun. The days, Divine, To plough the seas, The fish swim to the East. The Sun is shot, Dead face the East. The days divine, Only a dream. Sun-fire, Returns, The setting Sun, Enters the gates of night. It flows, As fire, The door open, From one world to the next. Phoenicia, Possessor of seas. To Latium, Into the dream.

Two days and a night by sea, To find the land, Leogecia. Wasted desolate city, No living soul to bar the way. Dusk on the abandoned island, Setting forth unto a nameless temple, There to find, Find her shrine, Strangest dreams. Gods bequeathed to you the sea, To find at last, your destined seat. Calm upon deserted shores, The quiet woods and empty halls. The Goddess shall appear before him, Answers given to the dreamer waking, Fate decrees, The Western sea, To call your own.

Though Brutus felt uncertainty, In visions from a dream, They ploughed on through the waves. The dream compelled him to the sea, To sail for thirty days, Beyond the salt-pan lake. Sail past, The Pillars of Hercules, There to find kin, Of high antiquity. They cast anchor in the Loire, Then came ashore, To hunt in woods and fields. When stopped, they slew Gaul’s messenger, Then joined in war, Against all in their way. Dead night, By little known trackways, In the depths of the woods, Corineus lay in wait. They stopped a thousand hearts, They sliced and tore apart, The force of Aquitaine. They named a city for their dead, In victory they fled, Back to the sea. Sail on, Above the Deep, Find the land, Across the Western Sea.

New Troy 02:16
One step across, Across the sky, There to raise, A second Troy. Along the shore, A pleasing place, Enriching lands, New city raised. Waters deep and cold, Glisten shards of light, Heed your call, Blue mist of dawn, The White Island, Shall be yours. One step across, Across the sky, There to raise, A second Troy. Along the shore, A pleasing place, Enriching lands, New city raised. To find the cooling woods, The richest lands and streams, Heed your call, Blue mist of dawn, The White Island, Shall be yours. One step across, Across the sky, There to raise, A second Troy. Along the shore, A pleasing place, Enriching lands, New city raised.

The Sun 02:29
The Sun’s last touch Transmogrifies The earth, the sea, and the sky. Rum gold, deep pink Intoxicates, Warm orange spirit flows. Transfix in light The saline beast, The flowing in of the fire. The right-hand path, A glowing shard, To vanquish the deep death. The Sun’s last touch Transmogrifies The earth, the sea, and the sky.

Indara 03:39
True Sun-fire, Burns again. Each spark returns, To the flame. Indara, Bring waters roaring forth, Indara, oh,oh, The shining Sun-cross. Once was lost, now revealed. In the Sun's, Burning seal. Indara, Bring waters roaring forth, Indara, oh, oh, The shining Sun-cross. Swell high like rivers, Waters of the deep, The Sun with its brightness, The Snow with its whiteness, And Fire with all of the strength that it has. Indara, Bring waters roaring forth, Indara, oh, oh, The shining Sun-cross. Indara, Bring waters roaring forth, Indara, oh, oh, The shining Sun-cross.

Kud Gal 05:45
She's a good girl, I read her name, It's six thousand years, But our words sound the same. From the mounds of the Earth, He cuts her free, The Underground Sun, Upon the wide sea. The light, It shines, In spirals on the sea. The waves, Alight, A glittering galaxy. Priestess of the Sun, Abandons fear, Beyond the false light, Those six thousand years. From the death-throes, To rise again, Phoenicia, The fire is tamed. The light, It shines, In spirals on the sea. The waves, Alight, A glittering galaxy. She's a good girl, Don't know her name, It's six thousand years, But our words sound the same. We lost or forgot, But there's no blame, Bright Sun will rise, Once again. The birds in the sky, Horse on the hillside, Soon you will feel, Powerful waves.
