Wand of Abaris

Therion

Live Gothic

2008

Walking through heat and desert sand
High priest of the Egyptian land
On his way to the land of snow
From his wand all the magic flows

The wand is glowing in the dark
Abaris show the way to man

Sparks and arrows of the sun
Penetrates the human mind
Sparks and arrows of the sun
Leave the groves of Arcady
Take the wand across the sea
Leave the groves of Arcady

The rune of Eiwar is guiding you
A Delphian forecast of what to do
Enter Sanctum of Uppsala
Earthly foretaste of Walhalla

The wand is glowing in the dark
Abaris show the way to man

Sparks and arrows of the sun
Penetrates the human mind
Sparks and arrows of the sun
Leave the groves of Arcady
Take the wand across the sea
Leave the groves of Arcady

I see divine Abaris in the labyrinth
I hold the bow and arrow made of hidden runes

Not so much pathos these days
You are still set in your ways
This planet shakes in your rays
Mistakes repeated again
Too much hubris in these men
Let loose your arrows at them

High in his throne is The One
Exalted, worshipped anon
Apollo God of the Sun

Your majesty Pythian
We hear your hymn the Paean

Straight to hell banishes his enemies
From the dead resurrects his devotees
Back to life through the gates of old Hades
Great Archer, power over pestilence
From Delos the golden isle into the West
Side with us, help us to destroy the rest

Great Apollo, radiant son
Offpsring of the mighty thundering one
Helios, Titan God of the Sun
Leader of muses, Olympian!

Bless paean and propitious to my prayer, illustrious pow'r of Memphian tribes revere
Slayer of Tityus, God of health, Lycorian Phoebus, fruitful source of wealth
Spermatic golden lyre the field from thee receives its constant rich fertility
Titanic, Grunian, Smythnian I sing, python destroying, hallowed

Delphian king, rural light bearer and the muse's head
Noble and lovely, armed with arrows dread
Far running, Bacchian, two-fold and divine
Pow'r far diffused, course oblique is thine

O Delian king, whose light-producing eye views all within and all beneath the sky
Whose locks are gold, whose oracles are sure, whose omens good reveals and precepts pure
Hear me entreating for the humankind, here, and be present with benignant mind
For you survey, this boundless aether all, and every part this

Terrestrial ball, abundant and blessed, thy piercing sight
Stands beneath the gloomy silent night, beyond the darkness a starry eye profound
The stable roots, deep fixed by thee are found
The world's wide bounds, all flourishing are thine

Thyself the source and the end divine
Tis thine all nature's music to inspire, with various sounding harmonizing lyre
Now the last string thou tunft to sweet accord, divinely warbling now
The highest chord, the immortal golden lyre

Now touched by thee receives a Dorian melody
Nature's tribes, to thee their difference owe
Changing seasons, from thy music flow
Hence mixed by thee, in equal parts advance

Summer and winter, in alternate dance
This claims the highest, and that the lowest string
The Dorian measure tunes to the lovely string
Hence by mankind, Pan royal, two horned named

Emitting whistling winds, through searing flame
Since to thy care, the figured seal's consigned
To stamp the world with forms of every kind
Hear me blessed power and in these rites rejoice

And save thy mystics with suppliant voice
