An Arrow from the Sun - Therion

Sunshine hides behind a cloud

Eiwar!

There's no light for us to see

Eiwar!

But a ray is breaking through

Eiwar!

The ignorance of human mind

Eiwar!

On Olympia the sun is born

Radiating from god Apollo

From the utmost North arrived a man

And he took a spark, a shaft of light

Arrows from the sun, they penetrate the human mind

Sophia is born when we catch one of these

Arrows from the sun, they burn the soul and make us see

Him who took the spark: Abaris Eiwar

Eiwar, Eiwar, take an arrow from the sun

Abaris, pilgrim from the regions of darkness

When you catch the sun, you'll ride a beam

All across the world, in every place

Like Abaris did, he took the spark

As a riding broom;

a magic world

Arrows from the sun will penetrate the human mind

Sophia is born when we catch one of these

Arrows from the sun, they burn the soul and make us see

Deep inside the maze: the Psyche, the soul

An arrow from the sun is like a sceptre in your hand

A key to time and space, to journeys within

Arrows from the sun will open up your beating heart

Sophia will shine when they hit your soul

Eiwar, Eiwar, take an arrow from the sun

Abaris, pilgrim from the regions of darkness

Eiwar, Eiwar, bend the bow now and shoot now

Abaris, bowman, shoot an arrow from the sun
