So come on, come on, just open your mouths and revive it.
Therion's a good band but they can be fairly obscure.
For example, I have no problems following Blood of Kingu, because I happen to be familiar with Babylonian mythology: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3vT9pGOIKA
Collect the blood of Kingu from the great old sea
And Arrogate the primeval waters
Inside your veins the power of the demon flow
Have you ever searched for your descent?
Gaze into your soul, we are the children of the ancient ones
On the thin facade we are the kindred of the benign gods
Take up and read the tables of your destiny
they hang around the neck of Kingu
Prepare the war between gods deep inside your soul
You are the one to fight in this war!
[Pre-Chorus:]
March for war in your soul. Hail!
Demon Kingu rise, rise, rise from the void. Hail!
Kingu rules the honred dragons, Ugallu, fishmen,
Mushussu, umu, bulls, frogs, scorpions, dogs... Kingu rules the void!
[Chorus:]
Kingu is the blood of man drawn off from this early waren
In your veins you find the strength from the demon's heritage
Chaotic waters covered every part of earth
The old gods split it like shellfish
But in the shells the blood of chaos still remain
Mother Habur suckle her children
[repeat pre-chorus & chorus]
[Bass:]
Kingu, general of the host of chaos, fighting for Tiamat; Bearer of sky and earth
[Soprano:]
Kingu, the mighty master ruling eleven demons
Kingu, your blood is running insinde the heart of mankind
The ancient demon, they will return...
The blood of Kingu... their open gate
But another enjoyable piece, Trul, mystifies even me to a large extent:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVeFPeFwpVw
If you run in the track of wolves you're entering Trul
A land beyond the Shepherds grove in the depth of night
Do you understand?
Runes expelled from the world of God, (runes) with demons and trolls
(They will) push you down with the trident fork, (the) four stave rage of man
Enter Trul
Wolves are going to hunt the shepherds flock and tear them apart
Bear the sign of the beasts of Trul, (the) four stave rage of man
Enter Trul
This seems somewhat Norse, but I actually have a minor familiarity with Viking runes and don't recognize the term Trul for any of them. It might also be a mystical land but not one I can find mention of anywhere online.
