I_King Aiwass
In the land of the two horizons
In the Aeon of the Child
I heard a Hessian voice
Echoing in my heart
In the land of the Lord of Silence
On the Equinox of the Gods
That’s when he came to me
My Holy Guardian
“I’m the Assyrian King
He who dwells at Nineveh
Harken my words, oh child
Do not alter Thelema”
And it came to pass
That Egyptian night
His silent speech
Poured gently in my mind
And it came to pass
That Egyptian night
His sacred voice
Singing gently to my mind
“Oh dear child
Heed my words
Time is short
You must seek the Law”
“Oh dear child
Heed my words
Time is short
You must seek the Law”
“I’m the Assyrian King
He who dwells at Nineveh”
Under a veil of gauze he spoke
The sacred Law
Under a cloud of blue his eyes destroyed
Everything they saw
“I am the 8th cry
The Oversoul of Ra
Cross the Tigris
Into the temple of Ishtar”
And it came to pass
That Egyptian night
His silent speech
Poured gently in my mind
And it came to pass
That Egyptian night
His sacred voice
Singing gently to my mind
[“Oh dear child
Heed my words
Time is short
You must seek the Law” ] X3
“Oh dear child
Time is short
Heed my words”

II_God of Silence
Now the kaiser was gone and the silent God spoke with no words
We sailed across the Nile on a lotus of blue glow
“Set out with eager eyes upon the path of the wise
Free yourself of the ego of death if you wish to be a God”
“Silence is golden”, his eye commanded in a whisper
Where the sun rises
Where the falcon glides
We are the Gods
And They are us
Heed the words
As silent as you are
As the Ibis once said, “look upon all things on Earth”
Having seen and felt, you must understand
The bull, his father, met us on the other side
Breathing the winds of Nekhen, I beheld with my own eyes
That silence is golden
Where the sun rises
Where the falcon glides
We are the Gods
And They are us
Heed the words
As silent as you are
As the Ibis once said, “look upon all things on Earth”
Having seen and felt, you must understand
The bull, his father, met us on the other side
Having seen and felt, you must understand
That silence is golden
Where the sun rises
Where the falcon glides
We are the Gods
And They are us
Heed the words
As silent as you are
We are the Gods
And They are us
Heed the words of the Kosmic Thought
As silent as you are

III_Thoth
On the third moon of my journey across Khem
A figure in black hovering above my head
The water couldn’t be seen apart from the earth
But the breath of a word long gone
I recognized its beak, the head of the ibis
The shape of the Atlantean, the voice of my master
He spoke with no sound
And yet, he said all that I needed to know
Sit by the fire and hear my tale
Of ancient knowledge and technology
Don’t say a word, let yourself go
You’ll learn the secrets of forgotten laws
If you wish to be One with the All
My secret teachings you shall master first
If you wish to be an immortal soul
Your mind must merge into the morning sun
I’ve been a teacher of Assyrian minds
I stood beside Osiris and Ma’at
I overcame the curse of Ra
I gambled with what’s hidden in the stars
One has to know, there’s no such thing as chance
You’ll never ever be the same again
At the dawn of civilization I opened the doors
To the Hall of the Dead to master what I am to withhold
I chose my work among mankind
As awakener of the children of man
One has to know, that what’s above is so below
Within the mind of the All
One needs to look deeper, no sense in delving into whims
Just hide the truth from the weak
By my Orion blood, I swear
The secret lies beneath the Pyramids
So it is decreed, you own your heart
Closing your lips, you quell the chaos of your mind
One has to know that everything is and is not
That nothing will escape the Law
Shine as a light, the key is within you
Seek to hush
Seek to learn
Seek to understand

IV_The Outsider
It was never light
Inside those dark cold chambers
In that shadowy loneliness
Where the past turns to clay
Such a lot They gave to us
Forever clung to chaos of memories past
I still wonder why
Why can’t I reach the light?
I’ve beheld myself, an outsider
I’ve beheld myself, an outsider
A stranger among the living men
A stranger among the children of death
Who am I? Where am I?
What am I?
Ages of dreaming and waiting
But what am I waiting for?
I hear the Gods weeping with me
Forever doomed to secret silence
Gazing at the candles for relief
Such a lot They gave to me
I’ve beheld myself, an outsider
I’ve beheld myself, an outsider
A stranger among the living men
A stranger among the children of death
It was never light in those dark halls
In eternal silence I am doomed to remain
From beauty to savagery
From joy to sorrow
The antiprism was mine to hold
And I, I could rest no more
But the day will come
When at last I run free
Across the valley of Black Pharaoh
Until I become One with the All
I’ve beheld myself, an outsider
I’ve beheld myself, an outsider
A stranger among the living men
A stranger among the children of death

V_Héroes
Tantas veces caí
Aceptando el dolor de perder
Cuántas veces me pregunté
Si vale la pena seguir
Pero con vos acá
Nunca voy a olvidar
Me enseñaste a pelear
A que siempre habrá una batalla más
Lo que aprendí de vos
Nunca dejé de creer
Ganar o perder
Cada batalla es para crecer
No siempre voy a ganar
Cada golpe me muestra una verdad
Estés donde estés
Sé que siempre puedo volver
Tantas veces caí
Aceptando el dolor de perder
Todas las veces me levanté
Sí que vale la pena seguir
Porque con vos acá
Siempre voy a recordar
Sigo marchando
Con la frente en alto

VI_Battle of Maldon
Byrhtnoth made a speech raising his shield
Angry and resolute answered back
A payment in war-gear
Will do you no good in battle
An undaunted, undaunted hero
One who’s standing here
Willing to claim his land
Willing to fight till it’s time
Mind must be harder, heart keener
Your spirit be greater than desire
An undaunted, undaunted hero
One who’s standing here
Willing to claim his land
Willing to fight till it’s time
And so too, he advanced
At the front of the army
He slashed and slew
Until his last breath
Here lies our leader
A good man in the dirt
He who turns away
Shall always regret it
Byrhtnoth made a speech raising his shield
Angry and resolute answered back
An undaunted, undaunted hero
One who’s lying here
Willing to claim his land
Willing to fight till it’s time

VII_Chaos at Uruk
At dawn the Kings sailed across the sky
In the calm of the storm-God
The ocean swallowed mountain and land
Darkening all that was bright
The scream of the Goddess of wars
Speaking evil in the hall of Gods
A black cloud from the horizon
Set the land on fire
It is I who spoke evil before Them
Now the lost souls weep with me
The scream of the Goddess of wars
Speaking evil in the hall of Gods
Indeed the past has turned to clay
Like an ox she swept the land of Khem
The scream of the Goddess of wars
Speaking evil in the hall of Gods
Indeed the past has turned to clay
Like an ox she swept the land of Khem

VIII_Atlantean Dreams
I walk into the depths of the sacred temple
Trying to earn the keys to immortality
My heart, an ocean of Atmic thought
Like raindrops on the dry soil
I have become the ocean in the calm of souls
With the 18th’s rings, two hearts as one
When heaven meets the earth in Enki’s haven
Listen to the thunder roar
My mind is a spiral
A neverending golden whirlwind
Who am I? Where am I?
Is there a price to pay for eternity?
My mind is a spiral
A neverending golden whirlwind
Who am I? Where am I?
Is there a price to pay?
My mind is a spiral
A neverending golden whirlwind
Who am I? Where am I?
Is there a price to pay for eternity?
There’s always a price to pay
Two hearts as one
For eternity

IX_Hagalaz
Hear the sound of thunder roar
High above, the nine moons whirl in ice and fire
It’s the cry of the mighty aurochs
I’m surrounded by dark like a damned outsider
Icy walls above my head
As I walk along the field of the dead
Misty shadows dancing for me
I stand in the middle of crystal hexes
I hear His voice as the storm grows near
Heavy drops pounding on, “there’s no fear”
My field laid waste with merciless wrath
I call upon the Thrice Born
Hail
Cold sickness to evil snakes
Hail
My golden sleep
For the sake of rebirth
In the aftermath of the storm
I cry out in anger, damage done
The faint hiss of gnawing jaws
The Child crying, “All is not lost!”
My field laid waste with merciless wrath
I call upon the Thrice Born
A seed melting in my hand
A berry, a yew tree growing high
Brought from the Nine Worlds
Brought into unity with the All
By singing the spell of hagalaz
The dawn of ancient times
Hail
Cold sickness to evil snakes
Hail
My golden sleep
For the sake of rebirth
Icy walls above my head
As I walk along the field of the dead
Hear the sound of the thunder roar
High above, the nine moons whirl in ice and fire
It’s the cry of the mighty aurochs
I’m surrounded by dark like a damned outsider
By singing the spell of hagalaz
I know I can come back
[Hail
Cold sickness to evil snakes
Hail
My golden sleep
For the sake of rebirth] X2
“Standing on the icy mounds, I realize I’ve been saved
For hail is a cold grain
And the shower of sleet
And the sickness of snakes”
