Pater Surgens Lyrics


Comes from above

Into the pebbly hole

Refulgent arrow

Its shining strings are braided with the antler.

A creative force appears to me

Increasing energy

The spiral of a highest will!

See the Aurora's touch

The brightest line!

Deaden my limbs!

Her steers run side by side

Striking the air

The Newday's ride!

O crying sister, heroic prominence!

How many gazes are there in your rays?

How many ashes will carry your sons?

Waiting for the undefeated Sun!

From the ancient Sabinian soil we wake!

Through your light the chosen race prevails!

Cutting the air his breath

Striking the weakness of your flesh!

Eighteen arrows come from him

Cutting the air with flames

Guarding the ancient Venus dance and Ceres rest...

Leading intention, guiding light

A hidden force blinds my sight

To the Earth, the pre-existing wise

Brings the seed of an empyrean light!
