Lyrics
Fertile earth Pallas, who procreates everything
Rock-bound spring that fed the twin brothers with nectar
This young bull, which he carried on his
Golden shoulders, according to his ways
And after I had received it, I have borne on
My shoulders the greatest things of the gods
Sweet are the livers of the birds, but care reigns over
He who is piously reborn and created by sweet things
You must conduct the rites through clouded times together
And here, as the first, the ram runs exactly on his course
And you saved us after having shed the eternal blood
Accept, O holy father, accept the incense-burning lions, through
Whom we offer the incense, through whom we ourselves are consumed
Hail to the lions for many and new years
Mithras, god of the morning, our trumpets wake in the wall
Rome is above the nations, but thou art over all
Now as the names are answered and the guards are marched away
Mithras, also a soldier, give us strength for the day
Mithras, god of the noontide, the heather swims in the heat
Our helmets scorch our foreheads, our sandals burn our feet
Now in the ungirt hour, now ere we blink and drowse
Mithras, also a soldier, keep us true to our vows
Mithras, lord of ages, below you we march
Invincible sun, the flame of life, you dwell within our hearts
Mithras, god of the sunset, low on the western main
Thou descending immortal, immortal to rise again
Now when the watch is ended, now when the wine is drawn
Mithras, also a soldier, keep us pure till the dawn
Mithras, god of the midnight, here where the great bull dies
Look on thy children in darkness, oh take our sacrifice
Many roads thou hast fashioned, all of them lead to the light
Mithras, also a soldier, teach us to die aright
Mithras, lord of ages, below you we march
Invincible sun, the flame of life, you dwell within our hearts
Mithras, lord of ages, below you we march
Incomparable sun, the flame of life, you dwell within our hearts
