3. Cults of the Shadow (5:13)
Secret Chiefs cloaked in wisdom
Dark illuminators of ZYX
Brings the putrifaction process
To lead the soul across the Styx
Ludul bel nimeqi ea
Naramtu dianau Apsu
The Seven Ones of Babel
offer the Grail of Ecstasy
to open up the Eye of Shiva
through the Great Work of Ecstasy.
Celebrators of becoming
Appears in the Sethian mystery
To turn lead to gold
Through the Great Work of Al-Khemy.
The Secret Sign of Mendes
Unveil the Magick of the Goat
Cults of the Shadow
Under Ilan Hizon's root.
La tapallah puluthu
Utukke lemnuti Apkallu
The Seven Ones of Babel
offer the Grail of Ecstasy
to open up the Eye of Shiva
through the Great Work of Ecstasy.
Celebrators of becoming
Appears in the Sethian mystery
To turn lead to gold
Through the Great Work of Al-Khemy.
Erset la tari ki-utu-kam
Adapa baru sar kissati
Ziqqurrat Kutha pet pi Girru
Erset la tari ki-utu-kam
Subigo inimicus
