Lyrics The pagan cycle Ancient

The pagan cycle


Eurus, we call upon the east wind
Notus, we call upon the south wind
Zephyrus, we call upon the west wind
Boreas, we call the north wind
Spirit mother hear thy pagan son
On winter solstice night
Waxing mon reveals a new dawn
(The) dark king transforms to infant light
The cycle of ancient times has begun
IO'EVOHE we are reborn
Candlemass brings the (growing) child sun
The triple goddess comes shining down
As witches sing with inspiration
Spiral dancing round and round
The spring equinox rises high
(The) dark maiden returns to us
The woods abound with faery goblins
Pan performs his songs of lust
Rejoice in the beltane sabbat
When lilac performes this magickal night
Naked we leap the sacred fire
And feast upon fruits and violet wine
On the day of summer solstice
The sun king will embrace the litha queen
And perish in the wake of Lughnasad
So may a splendid harvest be reaped
On Mabon we follow the lord of shadows
The empty season is upon us
Lady autumn blows leaves of sadness
Chanting as our offerings turn to dust
Ancestor wraiths ride on Samhain night
To proclaim the mystery of passing
Wearing a death cloak smiles the waning king
Let us see what the future will bring
Death is rebirth
The end brings new beginning
Ever turning
The wheel of the Pagan cycle
Anadia... Klephera... Nuit... Mercury... Hestia...
Horus... Brigit... Vulcan... Aphrodite... Ea... Isis...
Akasha... IO EVOHE!

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Ancient is a Norwegian black metal band from Eidsvag, Nesset, formed in 1992. The band has released six full-length albums for Metal Blade Records. Ancient initially possessed a raw black metal sound, similar to Darkthrone's works. Starting with *The Cainian Chronicle*, they moved towards a more Nordic/atmospheric black metal sound, akin to Emperor. After a period of turmoil concerning their lineup, they went on to add gothic-style instruments such as violins, female vocals, and synthesizers to their music. Some representative tracks include *The Cainian Chronicle*, *Blood of the Gods*, *Through the Darkest Hour* and *In the Shadow of the Serpent*.
