Lyrics Aži Dahāka - Therion

Two snakes from his shoulders
Springing black through night
And their shadows lengthen
Sweeping past his eyes
Born a failed creation
Outcast down below
Time his only witness
Light the lunar torch
Down where fate abandoned you
In grief alone
Chained you are before the wall
Of mountain and of stone
(Underneath Mount Damāvand)
The Draconic vulcan
Ashes black of life
Shall erupt in triumph
Covering the sky
(Tied to nails of a thousand years)
End of days arriving
Empty are his chains
Horns of war are sounding
May he reign again
Down where fate abandoned you
In grief alone
Chained you are before the wall
Of mountain and of stone
Hear
Hear and rise once more
