Tauroctony 03:38
lyrics
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

Sol Invictus 03:51
lyrics
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

Heliodromus 03:34
lyrics
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 03:26
lyrics
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

about

Tauroctony is a concept album based on the ancient Roman mystery school Mithraism, and the mythologized slaying of the primordial bull. Guiding you through this sacred act and bringing you into the minds of the roman soldier initiates, Tauroctony is a piece that demands attention, with hidden meaning in every word. Step back in time and experience an auditory initiation with Tauroctony, a Miko Collective Production.
