lyrics

You serpent of old are a scattering flame
Dispersed as by winds did all lands the image pervade
Whence comest you? and by what means?
Creature of obscure fame
Draconian, Panophion, Divine flame

A wealth of records and remnants
Testify to the universal character
Of its iconography
For it crept all over history and scripture
And adorns sundry temples and monuments
Which exhibit its indelible likeness

Enshrouded in mystery
Thou hast verily confounded the ages
As to origin and significance

A creation at once feared and esteemed
Injurious by nature yet virile for its form
Came to be venerated like to the Sun
No longer does the fire burn in its temples
The edifice still stands
But its order seeks the shadow
Like those elusive-god men
Who first bore the standard

Untold ages declare you
Antediluvian!Antediluvian!
Your mythos reveals you
Antediluvian! Antediluvian!
Let a thousand voices proclaim you
Antediluvian! Antediluvian!
Symbol and bearer oft’ become one
The spirit of antiquity is bygone
Your annals bear the mark of the Seas
Though removed by centuries
Untold ages declare you...Antediluvian!

You serpent of old are a scattering flame
Dispersed as by winds did all lands the image pervade
Whence comest you? and by what means?
Creature of obscure fame
Draconian, Panophion, Divine ...Flame

Pervious, imperious as dawn
...Panophion!
Igneous as the sun
...Blazing scion!
