Mana-Yood-Sushai Maker of all lesser gods Before Zeus and Helena Before Allah was Allah Creator now in quiescence All that’s followed comes from his kin The cosmos and all that is within But only the lesser ones Prostrate as his sons And when eternity ends All worlds and gods await destruction “And the gods and the worlds shall depart, and there shall be only MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI.” Sitting in the mist in a time (between) both before and after time Awaiting the victor between Fate and Chance Mana-Yood-Sushai And none knoweth who strode through the endless mist Towards Mana-Yood-Sushai And said, “Now make gods for Me”. All that’s followed comes from his kin The cosmos and all that is within But only the lesser ones Prostrate as his sons And when eternity ends All worlds and gods await destruction All Hail! (Guitar Solo)

(Spoken excerpt of The Hero of Esthonia): "KALEV and Linda lived very happily together, and were blessed with a numerous offspring; but the Country was small, and as soon as the children were grown up they wandered forth into the world to seek their fortunes, more especially as Kalev had determined that one son only should be the heir to his possessions. At length Kalev began to grow old, and felt that his end was approaching. Two of his younger sons, who were still little boys, remained at home; but the youngest of all, the famous Sohni, more often known by his patronymic, the Son of Kalev, was still unborn. Kalev foretold the glory and greatness of this last son to Linda, indicating him as his heir, and shortly afterwards fell dangerously sick. Then Linda took her brooch, and spun it round on a thread, while she sent forth the Alder-Beetle to bid the Wind-Magician and Soothsayer hasten to the bedside of her husband. Seven days the brooch spun round, and seven days the beetle flew to the north, across three kingdoms and more, till he encountered the Moon, and besought his aid. But the Moon only gazed on him sorrowfully without speaking, and went on his way. Again Linda spun the brooch for seven days, and sent forth the beetle, who flew farther this time, through many thick forests, and as far as the Gold Mountain, till he encountered the Evening Star; but he also refused him an answer. Next time the beetle took a different route, over wide heaths and thick fir-woods, till he reached the Gold Mountain, and met the rising Sun. He also returned no answer; but on a fourth journey the beetle encountered the Wind-Magician, the old Soothsayer from Finland, and the great Necromancer himself. He besought their aid, but they replied with one voice that what the drought had parched up, the moonlight blanched, and the stars withered, could never bloom again. And before the beetle returned from his fruitless journey the mighty Kalev had expired." Walking through the moors  Covering the graves of legends  -The tombs of their tales  Heroes of the past now shadows forgotten  In the dreary rain I can feel their pain  What fate for the slain  Empathize their disdain  Darkness creeps along the horizon like a tide of the ocean blue  The wave is famished and hungers for all whom shall be consumed   Like the lycanthrope its power is unleashed by the moon  Swallowing the song of the loons  The moonlight shines like a silvery sword’s blade  It pierces my eyes with its gaze  The thanatopolis grows vivacious in its necromantic hand  Far and wide the way becomes to find another land
