Therion
Aži Dahāka
[Verse 1: Thomas Vikström]
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!

[Chorus: Thomas Vikström & Chiara Malvestiti]
Down where fate abandoned you
In grief alone
Chained you are before the wall
Of mountain and of stone

[Verse 2: Chiara Malvestiti, Thomas Vikström, Choir, Thomas Vikström & Chiara Malvestiti]
The Draconic vulcan (Underneath)
Ashes black of life
Shall erupt in triumph (Mount Damāvand)
Covering the sky
End of days arriving (Tied to nails)
Empty are his chains
Horns of war are sounding (Of a thousand years)
May he reign again
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Thomas Vikström & Chiara Malvestiti]
Down where fate abandoned you
In grief alone
Chained you are before the wall
Of mountain and of stone

[Outro: Chiara Malvestiti]
Hear!
Hear and rise once more!
