[English]

O Purple flame!

O whirling wheel ov life!

And here moon rise!

Come unto me Bartzabel

By the laws divine I quell

Come unto me Bartzabel

By the raging blood cells

Come unto me Bartzabel

By the spear, the sword, the spell

Come unto me Bartzabel

By the word that openeth Hell!

By Ra Hoor Khuit!

By Elohim!

By Samael!

By Seraphim!

By Hoor and Khem!

By Gods ov War!

Ares and Mars, and mighty Thor!

Come unto me Bartzabel

By the power ov the panther's spell

Come unto me Bartzabel

By the circling citadel

Come unto me Bartzabel

By this mind ov miracles

Come unto me Bartzabel

By the mourning stars, I swear!

By Ra Hoor Khuit!

By Elohim!

By Samael!

By Seraphim!

By Hoor and Khem!

By Gods ov War!

Ares and Mars, and mighty Thor!

By Gods ov War!

By Khem and Hoor!

By Hachiman!

Mentu, and all

And by thy master, Graphiel

Come unto me

O Bartzabel!
