I'm standing here in time and space
A king and priest o' th' Adamantine race
I gaze into majestic skies
The moon, the sun chase before my eyes
This frolic wanton astral dance:
A childhood dream of happenstance
Within this realm King Chaos lent
From Nothing's texture nothing rent

In the threat of destruction
Lies the spell of life renewed
O'er this first, foremost reduction
The spirits of the Waters brood

I'm standing here in time and space
I behold the true Godhead's face
The terrors of proud mortal life
But monuments of corrupted strife

Promise of the mystic union:
Past and present come to merge
Covenant of divine communion
In the cataclysmic surge

I'm gazing at the astral bliss
The portal to the vast abyss
Within this realm King Heaven claimed
This element for mankind tamed

From the word of creation
The catastrophe is here
This the core of execration
I face the terror without fear

Ho Theos Echestai is a feeble tribute to the grandeur that is Paradise Lost.
