Lyrics:

[English]

Sanctity, elevated, winged

Dealer of life and death

Transcendent manifestation of strength

Coercion in absolute silence stands

Godhead, winged nymph of Styx

Divider of life and death

Force, strength and emulations old

Golden feathers turned to lead

Demigod, source of strength and skill

Sold as tools of harm to the next one above

Primary enforcer, an extension of his will

Reason lost for the sole purpose of the decanter to refill

...

Heroine, in silence you stand

The only one strong enough

To bind in eternal rock and unbreakable chains

Your eagle to inflict vexation and unbearable pains

Impiety, lowered, un-winged

Beheaded, abandoned in debris

Demigod, source of envy and zeal

Sold as tools of jealousy, to the next one above

Secondary enforcer, another extension of his will

Reason lost for the sole purpose of their cups to refill

...

Sanctity, once more elevated, winged

Lead feathers turned golden

...

Cast in stone, upon high stairs

In awe of the many

Lift her up to influence the vastness of numbers

...
