Testo di Aži Dahāka

Two snakes from his shoulders Springing black through night And their shadows lengthen Sweeping past his eyes Born a failed creation Outcast down below – Time his only witness – Light the lunar torch! Down where fate abandoned you In grief alone Chained you are before the wall Of mountain and of stone (Underneath Mount Damāvand) The Draconic vulcan Ashes black of life Shall erupt in triumph Covering the sky (Tied to nails of a thousand years) End of days arriving – Empty are his chains Horns of war are sounding – May he reign again! Down where fate abandoned you In grief alone Chained you are before the wall Of mountain and of stone Hear – Hear and rise once more!
