From the aged bridge,
I saw and mesmerized
By the meaning of the ancient writings;
I felt the anger
Of the ancient gods
My fathers are at the end of dark tunnel
With their shining eyes
I am at the other side of it
Waiting for them with my burning flames
I greet the raising chaos
In spirit of an elder Sumerian
I praise and reply its ancient virtue with pride
Within the coming echoes
From the far side of the stars
From the shadows and the flames They fight! They raise!
Within the coming echoes
From the far side of the stars
From the shadows and the flames They last! They dominate!
Io Kaos! Io Kaos! The great mother dragon Tiamat!
Io Kaos! Io Kaos! The great king Absu!
Io Kaos! Io Kaos! The warrior of Kaos Kingu!
Io Kaos! Io Kaos! The great priestess Linbur!
The years of war is near
As in the time before the time
Primal waters stir in her dreams
The seven glorious gods
Arise from a slumber
The sunken land of the elder ones
Beneath the season the dying earth
Noone summon beyond the death
All shall flesh before the end
