Lyrics
Two snakes from his shoulders
Two snakes emerging from his shoulders
Springing black through night
Swiftly moving through darkness
And their shadows lengthen
Their silhouettes grow longer
Sweeping past his eyes
Passing by his vision
Born a failed creation
Created unsuccessfully
Outcast down below –
Exiled to the underworld
Time his only witness –
Only time as a witness
Light the lunar torch!
Ignite the moon-like beacon!
Down where fate abandoned you
Where destiny deserted you
In grief alone
In solitary sorrow
Chained you are before the wall
Chained before a barrier
Of mountain and of stone
Composed of rock and mountain
(Underneath Mount Damāvand)
(Beneath Mount Damāvand)
The Draconic vulcan
The fiery volcano associated with dragons
Ashes black of life
Dark remnants of existence
Shall erupt in triumph
Will burst forth in victory
Covering the sky
Enveloping the heavens
(Tied to nails of a thousand years)
(Bound by thousand-year-old nails)
End of days arriving –
The apocalypse approaches
Empty are his chains
His restraints now empty
Horns of war are sounding –
The commencement of war is signaled
May he reign again!
May he rule once more!
Down where fate abandoned you
Where destiny deserted you
In grief alone
In solitary sorrow
Chained you are before the wall
Chained before a barrier
Of mountain and of stone
Composed of rock and mountain
Hear –
Listen –
Hear and rise once more!
Listen and rise again!
