lyrics

Fayertsung tzi dem koyl
Doikayt on sof
Yetsire fin pistkayt
Pistkayt on sof

Gayst fin a lebediken Got
Luft vos is aroys fin gast
Vaser geboyrn fin luft
Er vas shaft flam

Di oysyes fin yetsireh
Iz gehoybin finem thum
Azoy okultish, azoy vunderlekh
Zenen indzere mames in tates

Aleph Mem Shin
Aleph Shin Mem
Mem Aleph Shin
Mem Shin Aleph

Lebn tzi toyt
Sholem tzi krig
Nister tzi umvisndikayt
Makht tzi knekhtshaft

Der aybiker flam fin lebn
Hiney, di shtern fin indzer velt
Di kalitke tzi der neshume
Di zibn teg fin yetsireh

Getrogn durkh di vasern
Geven geboyren durkh flayern
Geshtempelt durkh shturemes
Drapirt mit di zebn shtern

Di tzvelf konstilatsyeh zingn

--------------

Flame to the coal
Being without end
Creation out of nothingness
Nothingness without end

Spirit of a living God
Air that sprung from spirit
Water birthed from air
He who ministers fire

From the letters of creation
Sprung from the void
Most occult and most marvelous
Our mothers and fathers are

Aleph Mem Shin
Aleph Shin Mem
Mem Aleph Shin
Mem Shin Aleph

Life to death
Peace to war
Wisdom to ignorance
Power to slavery

The eternal flame of life
Behold, the Stars of our World
The gateway to the soul
The seven days of creation

Carried through waters
Born through fire
Stamped in storms
Held in the seven stars

The twelve constellations sing

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
