Only ravening chaos was there at first

Wherein enthroned sat it's overlord

Kronos the terrible immortal god

Ruling with a malignant iron heart...

Then came the fire giving shape into Gaia

The immortals took their place on the peak

Of mighty Olympus and in Erebus deep

The sky unfolded wings and night came creeping in...

How wonderfully shines the living light

The first daybreak at the dawn of time

On anvils divine a mortal world is forged

Cosmogenesis, the mystic maelstorm

The valleys evergreen crossed by rivers crystalline

Became the palaces of Nymphs

The mystic wind that first blew through the woods

Taught the Satyrs to sing...

And in the depths of the sea, in chambers of ebony

Cyclopses and Titants dwell, held in thrall by Zeus

Hail the fathergod that would raise the progeny of Chaos

Into the light, away from tyranny and into the day!

How wonderfully shines the living light

The first daybreak at the dawn of time

On anvils divine a mortal world is forged

Cosmogenesis, the mystic maelstorm
