In a virgin world primeval
|
|
A newborn bullcalf emerged
|
|
Wonderous and celestial
|
|
Three cranes to be its witness and droves
|
|
Its honour mantled the face of the earth
|
|
|
|
A blessing unleashed to the earth
|
|
Unseathed the embodiment of life
|
|
|
|
Tarvos - The embodiment of life
|
|
Tarvos - The genesis of time
|
|
|
|
The earthly heathlands roamed by Esus
|
|
Questing condigh sacrifice
|
|
A divine yearning hushed by the prodigy
|
|
Three cranes to wake the slumbering taur
|
|
To warn him 'gainst the imminence of a huntergod ravenous
|
|
|
|
"A drawn struggle through innominate days
|
|
As utimately the sword of Esus
|
|
Pierced the bull's heart
|
|
Three cranes to lament as its blood laves
|
|
Creation wept under an eclipsing sun
|
|
As gloom descended upon world
|
|
Three cranes to catch a drop of blood
|
|
And leave far away..."
|
|
|
|
A blessing depraved from the world
|
|
As snow fell for the first time on earth
|
|
|
|
Three cranes returned
|
|
Pouring out the blood
|
|
To the ground of Tarvos' death
|
|
And out of nothing
|
|
The soil scarified, the divine bull was reborn
|
|
Under a newborn sun nature rejoiced
|
|
Thus spring came back to earth
|
|
Overcame the brumal reigh
|
|
Though Esus came back
|
|
To fell the bull, the eternal cycle has begun
|
|
|
|
Tarvos - Will always be slain
|
|
Tarvos - Ever to be reborn again
