Tarvos lyrics

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
