Twelve Stars and an Azure Gown
Atlantean Kodex Lyrics

A maiden by the seaside was taken from her land
A young woman was abducted from her homeland by the sea.

On a bull across the waves until she reached a foreign strand
She rode a bull across the sea until she arrived at a strange shore.

Her father, a great king, less human than divine
Her father was a king who seemed more like a deity than a mortal.

True godhood she would find - Twelve stars in azure skies
She found true godliness represented by twelve stars in the blue sky.

Stronghold walls of Uruk, Etemanaki′s fane
The sturdy walls of Uruk and Etemanaki's temple.

Mighty rock of Zion your legacy remains
The great rock of Zion, your legend still lives on.

Aeneas left his mother Troy, summer birds search for new lands
Aeneas departed from his motherland, Troy, while migratory birds explored for new territories.

The goddess sends her siren's call, across the continents
The deity sends out her alluring cry throughout the continents.

On a strong white bull, the goddess rides
The goddess rides on the back of a sturdy, white bull.

In the darkest night twelve stars will rise
In the darkest hours of the night, twelve stars will come up into the sky.

Daughter of the east with an azure gown
A woman from the East dressed in a blue gown.

Our new Jerusalem we found
We have discovered a new Jerusalem.

And I saw brothers fighting, not for honour but for gold
I witnessed brothers fighting, not for glory but for wealth.

Enthralled by foreign agents like cattle we are sold
We were entrapped like cattle by foreign forces and sold.

Oh goddess grant me an answer! Pray, make me understand!
Oh deity, give me a response! I implore you to clarify!

Will the brothers fight forever? Can they be as one again?
Will the brothers always fight? Can they be united once more?

The goddess speaks:
The goddess interjects:

"My son. War is forever. He′s the father of all men
"Oh, my child. War endures eternally. It is the creator of all human beings.

But brothers once united will stand as one again
However, once brothers come together, they will be as one again.

My touch was felt in Dublin, my voice was heard in Spain
I made an impact in Dublin, and my voice was audible in Spain.

Ten thousand years may pass by, but this fortress shall remain"
My fortress will persist for ten thousand years and beyond."

There are shadows over Athens and Rome still lies in flames
Athens is overshadowed, and Rome still burns.

In these days when need is great, there's no heroes there's no saints
In the present era of immense necessity, there are no heroes or saints.

But when the night is darkest, Prometheus′ torch will burn
However, when the night is at its darkest, Prometheus' flame will ignite.

And the goddess on a white bull - though she never left - returns
And the deity, though she never really departed, comes back riding on a white bull.
