When Gold Turns into Lead Lyrics


The Night sky stands quiet

Static and heavy silent

Only slowly circling spirits

upon the mouth of bottomless deep

Light touch of the pale hand

of the Divine father of vast eternity

Opens the locks of time

revelations from the endless maze

Old and silent Master

The numinous Fire of the gods

Who rules this world in Darkness

From the throne of truth

Lord of Death, strong and wise!

Show the roots of the underworld

and lift us high to the tree of Death

Strong and ineffable, A blessed End

At the borders of two worlds

when the gold turns into lead

The new path is Manifesting

A journey without flesh

O Darkness open to me your arms

which are the cage of Death

And close the gate without grief

without pain and loss

Old and silent Master

The numinous Fire of gods

Who rules this world in Darkness

From the throne of truth
