- Luminous Arrows and Rolling Thunder -

You who ride the storm, the lion of heaven in hell
                     The thunder shook the earth, with stone axes
                              Mountain and soil being folded
                          A settlement from the earth's interior
                     //Rolling thunder, the innumerable trumpets //

                         The lightning bent mutely and refined
                             The lion is able to create stone,
                              sun and water to their servants
                      Always ready to throw himself over his victim
                        A sense of impending violence, as a climax
                         Did the ravens fly in the wrong direction ?
                             No one could explain the frightening 
                            phenomenon as lightning and thunder
                           //Rolling thunder, wild horses running//
