1. LIKE A BREATH

Praise be to the Lord my Rock
Who trains my hands for war
My fingers for battle

He is my loving God and my fortress
My stronghold and my deliverer
My shield, in whom I take refuge
Who subdues peoples under me

Lord, what are human beings that you care for them
Mere mortals that you think of them?
They are like a breath
Their days are like a fleeting shadow

Part your heavens, Lord, and come down
Touch the mountains, so that they smoke

Reach down your hand from on high
Deliver me and rescue me from those whose mouths are full of lies

I will sing a new song to you, my God
On the six-stringed guitar I will make music to you
To the One who gives victory to kings
Who delivers his servant

Part your heavens, Lord, and come down
Touch the mountains, so that they smoke
Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy
Shoot your arrows and rout them


2. FOOTPRINTS OF THUNDER

I, a transient shadow
A serpent, the least among men
But still my name is Aión
It's graven with an iron pen

Footprints of waves of sand
A proof of your might
Though my longing hibernates
Footprints of thunder; I hail thee

Spears to the sky
The glimpse of shining armour
A vision of the latter days
Archaic rites
Unfolds the scripts of omens
Our wisdom sails to force the sky

We are transient shadows
Serpents, the least among men
But still out names are Aiónios
They're graven with an iron pen
