Ordo Draconis - Opus Draconum lyrics

Collaudentur veterrimi

Collaudentur dracones

In speculis sunt

In penetralibus tellis

Dracones stellantis noctis.

Quis capit vos mente,

Quis comprehendit vos mente?

Vos quibus sapientia oblita,

Opsque, vestrum numen,

Et ad creandum et ad consumendum;

Qui antea fuerunt ac erunt in perpetuum.

Elicio vos, me audite!

Evoco ex penetralibus tellis

Accipite haec sacra qui obeo vobis;

Accipatur veterrimis deis

Extolled be the most ancient ones

Extolled be the serpents, the dragons

Lying in wait, the dragons

Of night strewn with fulgent stars

Reside in the bowels of the earth.

What spirit would understand thine,

Let alone comprehend?

Thou who bears elusive wisdom,

Masters the numinous art and wields the power

Both to create and to dissolve;

Who was here before and will be hereafter.

I summon thee, harken!

I conjure thee from deep within

The bowels of the earth

Accept this sacrifice I offer

As to be accepted

By the most ancient gods
