Solar sulphur Cracks in the surface Fertilizing the stone Sulphur solis Endless circle Fire-spewing serpent Suicidal coiling Hissing with hate Devouring his own tail Absorbed by the fire Begotten by itself The tail-eater completely disappears Solar sulphur blazes and tinges The conquest of the mercurial serpent Returning to an immaculate condition Ready for solar rebirth To start all over again Lacking not the strongest of venom Awaking in the vast forest Seeing the first rays of the sun Its bright fire Through trees and bones Scatter abroad your poison Fly upward so fiercely Plumed all in gold Hovering on wings outspread Up to the high gods' halls Empty and mourning men No living creature shall stand before me Even the basilisk not equal Al my veins and colours perceived Down like the lightning, terrible and fast Caught in the vortex Entombed in the sphere of flame Burning in a furnace blast Flesh melting Needles through my soul Absorbed by the fire Begotten by itself The tail-eater completely disappears Solar sulphur blazes and tinges The conquest of the mercurial serpent Returning to an immaculate condition Ready for solar rebirth To start all over again Searing me through In the hour of my death I will not pray, i will accept Thou hast reached purgatory Embrace this sweet cleansing My venom becoming the greatest medicine Consuming my own venom Devour my poisonous tail Cosmic unconsciousness To be reborn and die forever Absorbed by the fire Begotten by itself The tail-eater completely disappears Solar sulphur blazes and tinges The conquest of the mercurial serpent Returning to an immaculate condition Ready for solar rebirth To start all over again Searing me through In the hour of my death I will not pray, i will accept Thou hast reached purgatory Embrace this sweet cleansing My venom becoming the greatest medicine Consuming my own venom Devour my poisonous tail Cosmic unconsciousness To be reborn and die forever
