|
In a virgin world primeval |
|
A newborn bullcalf emerged |
|
Wondrous and celestial |
|
Three cranes to be its witness and droves |
|
Its honour mantled the face of the earth |
|
|
|
A blessing unleashed to the earth |
|
Unseathed the embodiment of life |
|
|
|
Tarvos - the embodiment of life |
|
Tarvos - the genesis of time |
|
|
|
The earthy heathlands roamed by esus |
|
Questing condign sacrifice |
|
A divine yearning hushed by the prodigy |
|
Three cranes to wake up the slumbering taur |
|
To warn him 'gainst the imminence of a huntergod ravenous |
|
|
|
"A drawn struggle through innominate days |
|
As ultimately the sword of esus |
|
Pierced the bulls heart |
|
Three cranes to lament as its blood laves |
|
Creation wept under an eclipsing sun |
|
As gloom descended upon world |
|
Three cranes to catch a drop of blood |
|
And leave far away..." |
|
|
|
A blessing depraved from the world |
|
As snow fell for the first time on earth |
|
|
|
Three cranes returned |
|
Pouring out the blood |
|
To the ground of tarvos' death |
|
And out of nothing |
|
The soil sacrified, the divine bull was reborn |
|
Under a newborn sun nature rejoiced |
|
Thus spring came back on earth |
|
Overcame the brumal reign |
|
Through esus came back |
|
To fell the bull, the eternal cycle has begun |
|
|
|
Tarvos - will always be slain |
|
Tarvos - ever to be reborn again |
