The earth pulses with an ancient ecstasy,

As the shadow contracts, subdued.

Upon the sacred rock, beneath the leaden sky,

The blood of the earth boils in silence.

No mercy for the dying light,

For infinity begins tonight.

Burn, golden crown! Burn and consume yourself!

The woods whisper forgotten secrets,

The roots invoke the great inversion.

This is not the triumph of life,

It is the baptism of fire that precedes the frost.

At the highest point of your glory,

Darkness kisses your golden flesh.

Summer Solstice! Altar of flames!

The Midnight Sun blinds the mortals,

But we see the void beyond the light.

Fall, King of Light, fall into your abyss!

From this moment on, the night is reborn.

Solve et Coagula in the primordial fire.

O great star, despot of the sky...

We celebrate you in the hour of your decline.

On the longest day, we sow the night.

Your maximum light is the dawn of our era.

(V.I.T.R.I.O.L.)
