Verse
A subtle memory
The other side is the place to be
If you could only see
You would not comprehend me
More than a ritual
Inside you’ll find something mythical
But you must secretly slay the deity
Chorus
Seeds beneath the ground
Sprouting into existence
Creation uniquely bound
Life and death make the rounds
Verse 2
Those oil pastel skies
Will chew you up and eat you alive
You sail through the divide
But the pieces you can’t find
I am sacrificial
This beast you kill is primordial
Creating what you see
Tauroctony
Chorus
Seeds beneath the ground
Sprouting into existence
Creation uniquely bound
Life and death make the rounds
Many seeds beneath the ground
Sprouting into existence
Creation uniquely bound
Life and death make the rounds

Verse
I am Sol Invictus
The unconquered Sun
What you soon will witness
Will be the birth of creation
Time and season
From blood their sprang the ears of grain
And from the bull the moon became
When soon my cloak to my surprise
Laid out the vault of the sky
Before my eyes
Chorus
I am the lion
Solar divine (Lion, Shinin’) Serpents entwined
Soldier of seasons
Keeper of time
I am the unconquerable sun
Verse 2
At first I was reluctant
To act out such demands
Slaying one so sacred
Staining my mind and my hands
Then Something happened
All at once there came the sun
And through his call the deed was done
Revel I will at the feast
Chewing the hide of the beast
Piece by piece
Chorus
I am the lion
Solar divine (Lion, Shinin’) Serpents entwined
Soldier of seasons
Keeper of time (time out of mind)
I am the unconquerable sun
I am the unconquerable sun, no one but me could ever be

Chorus
Everlasting power
In the form of an animal to which we cower
Heroic encounter
By the blade life was made and to that we honor
Verse
Life on the battle field
Protection from my shield
The pain we know is real
The pleasure we don’t feel
We’ve come so far
(So far, we’ve gone and reached the sun)
To be right where we are
(No one can do what we have done)
Constantly traveling
(All day, miles away from home)
Secrets unravelling
Chorus
Everlasting power
In the form of an animal
To which we cower
Heroic encounter
By the blade life was made and to that we honor
Verse 2
Down here in the world cave
Enter only the brave
Destruction by the sword
facing the lions roar
We work so hard
(So hard, we fight until the end)
And seek little reward
(Our men will conquer and defend)
The circle of the sun
(Listen, the journeys just begun)
The crown that we must shun
Chorus
Everlasting power
In the form of an animal to which we cower
Heroic encounter
By the blade life was made and to that we honor
Verse 3
Tauroctonus
(Mithra in whom we give our trust)
New life breathes within us
(And the lessons he teaches us)
There can be only one
(Up high, chariot in the sky)
Runner of the sun
Chorus
Everlasting power
In the form of an animal to which we cower
Heroic encounter
By the blade life was made and to that we honor

Gentle Soldier

Verse
I’m just a soldier with my sword on my shoulder
And I felt today a new sensation
Beneath the war inside me
I see a soft and gentle soldier
Fighting is torture
Chorus
Some call him kindness
Some call him love
Verse 2
I sat beneath the shaded
Tree of life and waited for sometime
Sheltered from sunshine
The solar light was fading
Metamorphosis I’m changing
Illuminating
Chorus
Find some kindness within
That gentle soldier is where we all begin
Slowly one by one we all become undone
And on the road to the other side we fly
Post chorus
Careful attention keep your mind free
And your heart open
My advice would be
Truth and honesty
Verse 3
Beyond the world of seeing
A luminescent state of being
Darkness is fleeing
Do not keep it secret
Share the light with those who need it
This gift is beautiful
Chorus
Now the journey must end 
From whence you came my friend until we meet again
You have found virtue
For you have searched within
And on the road back home you’ll walk amongst the men
Post chorus
Here comes a hero
Triumphantly
With his heart open
Some call him sentimental
Searching to be gentle
Outro
I’m just a soldier with my sword on my shoulder and I felt today
A new sensation
