Lord of Ages - Blood Axis

Fertile earth Pallas who procreates everything

Rock-bound spring that fed the twin brothers with nectar

This young bull that he carried on his shoulders

According to his ways — and I have received it I have borne on my shoulders the greatest things of the gods

Sweet are the livers of the birds but care reigns over

He who is piously reborn and created by sweet things

You must conduct the right through clouded times — together

And here, as the first the ram runs exactly on his course

And you saved us after having shed the eternal blood

Accept oh holy Father

Accept the incense-burning lions

Through whom we offer the incense

Through whom we ourselves are consumed

And hail to the lions

For many a new years

Hail to the lions

For many a new years

Hail to the lions!

Mithras, god of the Morning — our trumpets waken the world

Rome is above the nations, but Thou art over all

Now as the names are answered and the guards are marched away

Mithras, also a soldier, give us strength for the day!

Mithras, god of the Noontide — the heather swims in the heat

Our helmets scorch our foreheads, our sandals burn our feet

Now in the ungirt hour, now as we blink and drowse

Mithras, also a soldier, keep us true to our vows!

Mithras, Lord of Ages, below You we march!

Invincible Sun, the flame of Life, You dwell within our hearts

Mithras, god of the Sunset — low on the western main

Thou descending immortal, immortals arise again

Now as the watch has ended, now as the wine is drawn

Mithras, also a soldier, keep us pure till the dawn!

Mithras, lord of the Midnight — here where the great bull dies

Look on Thy children in darkness, oh take our sacrifice

Many roads Thou hast fashioned, all of them lead to the light

Mithras, also a soldier, teach us to die aright!

Mithras, Lord of Ages, below You we march!

Invincible Sun, the flame of Life, You dwell within our hearts

Mithras, Lord of Ages, below You we march!

Unconquerable Sun, the flame of Life, You dwell within our hearts
