Sol Invictus - Atlantean Kodex

In this holiest of seasons, twelve nights betwixt the years

The silence of winter is all-consuming

Our homesteads lie sleeping the old folks are watchful

Gruesome tales of corn-demons (to forewarn) the young

Over the mountain, to the hidden temple

Where the pillar of flames shall be summoned by the priest

On through the biting frost and the wind-driven snow

A belling of stags echoes in the woods

In this ice-cold Solstice night death and resurrection await

To invoke the rebirth of the sun

From darkness grows light, from ashes a fire

To conquer the cold

The rites of Yuletide defying the times

The virgin-born child

Sol, Sol Invictus

Shining Guardian of the west

In saecula saeculorum

Conquer with fire and with faith

A solemn pilgrimage through nightclad wintry woods

Ghosts of winter screaming to lure us all astray

Neolithic magick, wisdom without words

Bloodbound memories pierce the gossamer veils of time

In this ice-cold Solstice night death and resurrection await

And summer shall (fall on) our soil

From darkness grows light, from ashes a fire to conquer the cold

The rites of Yuletide defying the times

The virgin-born child

Sol, Sol Invictus — Shining Guardian of the west

In saecula saeculorum — Conquer with fire and with faith

Blood-sacrifice for the three-fold goddess

Summon the Goat with a Thousand Young

Mithras Invictus Jesus Christus

Fire brings cleansing, fertility through death

Mummers rage through snow covered villages

Reaping the souls of the careless and young

Domina Perahta grant us good harvest

In barter for the blood of one third of our youth

The sunwheels are rolling, the hillside‘s on fire

From Albion to Attica old Europe‘s ablaze

Unbroken tradition, neolithic bloodline

The Horned God approaches, the chanting now fades

Il dyi ei ischturien.

Ei ven ad esser sarain.

Ei ven freid.

Dieus mora!

At the standing stones the scythe will set him free

Bound to the oak, the Kingpriest‘s life for our creed

A crown of mistletoe, reborn for all to see

For a new year, in a red dawn, as the new sun

Sol, Sol Invictus

Invincible sun of the west

In saecula saeculorum

Conquer with fire and with faith

From Attica‘s green pastures to Albion‘s white shores

From Thule‘s boiling geysers to the walls of Hagar Q‘im

Beneath the fragile crust of this modern age of reason

A darker world lies waiting, primordial and pure

Hidden in the shades from ratio‘s great pondering

to rise when the stars are right

Sol, Sol Invictus

Lightbringer of the dreaming west

In saecula saeculorum

Conquer with fire and with faith
