Illustrious Furies
Illustrious Furies, hear my voice. Maids of Vengeance, in these rites rejoice.
Dark Queens, whose glittering eyes burn bright with radiant fires
Attending mysterious rites, furious and fierce, whom Fate delights
We beg upon our knees, suppress your rage.
Revenge and sorrow to you belong, in savage veil severe and strong
With piercing sight and lawful mind, suppress your rage and to our rite incline
Hear, Eternals, we beg upon our knees, suppress your rage

Mother of Gods
Hecate of the Path, I invoke thee
Lovely Lady of the Crossroads
Celestial, Chthonian, Marine One,
You feast on our hearts.
Tri-Head, Three-Voiced
Daemons quake at your roar
Mother of Gods, Many Named
Wherefore they call you?
Destroyer, Nocturnal, Devourer of the Untimely Dead
Choas, Invinsible, Who Drink Blood
Keeper of the Keys
Torment, Exalted, Armed with Untiring Flame
Mother of Gods, Many Named
Wherefore they call you?
Nurturer, Maiden, Light of the Ways
I pray to thee
Be present at our hallowed rites
Justice, Goddess, incense burns for Vrimoh
Mother of Gods, Many Named
Wherefore they call you Hecate

Helios

Helios
Hear, golden Titan, whose eternal eye with broad survey illumines all the sky
Self-born beaming light
Vig’rous mirror of delight
Lord of justice, golden beam
Ruler over all supreme
Foe to the wicked, but the good man’s guide; over all his steps, you preside
Chorus: Helios!
Thy right hand is morning light;
With thy left, you endeth night.
Our almighty lord of years
Bearing fruit, all power reveres
On these mystic labors auspicious shine; and bless thy suppliants with a life divine
Chorus: Helios!

Under the Willow Tree
The song turns our gaze to where the harps are hung
Bowls of silver and gold are laid as gifts
Under the willow tree
A life is given, a voice is gained
Under the willow tree
The salt of our tears is spilled upon the soil
Nothing left to grow upon the earth
Under the willow tree
A life is lost, a lesson learned
Under the willow tree
Attend, Musaeus, to my sacred song and learn the rites where praise belongs:
Jove I invoke, and Solar light, and Moon’s pure splendor and the Stars of night;
Bacchus, honored by the heavenly choir and raging Mars and god of Fire;
Thee, the ruler of the Sea profound, whose waves encircle the solid ground;
Attis, the mother of the powers on high, and fair Adonis, doomed to die;
Ceres, abundant and of lovely mien, and Proserpine, infernal queen;
I call Enodian Hecate, lovely power with celestial flame,
Bless the incense sent on high and grant us now our just desire.

Sister Medusa
Sister, mortal made
For your beauty famed
Words fail to tell the glory of your hair
Minerva’s devoted girl
All your charms
Helpless against the Sea
Forfeit your dignity
Enraged, she turned away, that ruler of war
Hid with her shield callous eyes
Her heart, so cold
Sister, eyes of stone
Sister, all alone
Words fail to tell the glory of your hair
Sister, all alone

Where is Thy Daughter
04:04
|
|||
|
O Mother, Queen of Earth, source of wealth, giving birth;
Widely wandering, oppressed with grief, in golden valley find relief.
For a sacred youth the world you stray, Phosphoros lights the way
In darkest palace, the vernal bride, to lay at rest all mankind
Where is thy daughter, oh earthly queen?
In dread Avernus, your Persephone
Bright Goddess come, with summer, she will return, your holy daughter.
Come mother, to nature inclined, bless the fruits with favoring mind.
Where is thy daughter, oh earthly queen?
In dread Avernus, infernal fiend
Lost in the autumn, with spring’s morning dew
She will arise and return to you

Burning Eyes

|
See
The sorceress
Dragged, with streaming hair
From Athena’s temple
Virgin daughter, whom Apollo craves,
She has drained to dregs the cup of fate
She lifts her burning eyes
She lifts her burning eyes
She lifts her burning eyes to heaven in vain

Chthonius
04:44
|
|||
|
Hermes Chthonius, whom Fate decrees to dwell
In dark paths that lead to deepest hell.
Who constant wanders through the sacred feats
Where hell’s dread empress, Persephone, retreats.
To wretched souls the leader of the way,
When Fate decrees, to regions void of day.
Thine is the wand which causes sleep to fly
Or lulls to slumberous rest the weary eye
Psychopompos, Angelos,
Keryx, Hegetor, Oneira
IO IO IO!
For hell’s queen, through Tartarus dark and wide,
Gave thee forever flowing souls to guide.
Come, blessed power, the sacrifice attend,
And grant our mystic works a happy end
Psychopompos, Angelos,
Keryx, Hegetor, Oneira,
Psychopompos, Angelos,
Soter, Kratus, Diaktoros

Bearer of the Vine

|
|||
|
Son of Jove, son of Fire,
Wild-formed, young and fair,
Horned One, divine son
Bearer of the Vine
Born of violence, torn apart,
Two lives lived in your mad heart
Secret Flower, son of Fire,
Daemon of the Sacred Feast,
Prolific One, Bacchus Bright
Bearer of the Vine
Born of violence, torn apart,
Two lives lived in your mad heart

Thanatos
04:16
|
|||
|
Here me, Thanatos, whose empire unconfined
Reaches mortal tribes of every kind
Oh death, common to every creed and age
Oh death, nought escapes thy all-destructive rage
In thee the end is known. In thee all judgement is absolved alone.
Oh death, no prayers thy dreadful blade control
No vows revoke the purpose of thy soul
