Therion (griech.: Tier, aka Mega Therion, das große Tier, Satan und so) ist eigentlich eine ziemlich böse Band, da sie mit dem Orden Dragonrouge zusammenhängt, der ziemlich satanistisch ist.
Trotzdem machen sie ab und zu ganz nette Lieder (finde ich, ist Geschmackssache hat der Affe gesagt und in die Seife gebissen). Fast immer mit Bezug auf okkulte / esoterische Themen. So auch das Lied "Gothic Kabbalah" aus dem gleichnamigen Album.
Hab das Video sogar selbst gemacht naja, ist eher ne Slideshow.
Sorry wegen der mangelnden künstlerischen Vollkommenheit, habe auf Windows Movie Maker zurückgreifen müssen, da mein Ultra-Video-Bearbeitungs-Programm 3.0 irgendwie mit meiner externen Festplatte abgestürzt ist.
Die in dem Lied erwähnten 15 Runen beziehen sich auf die Lehre des Johannes Bureus, der ein kabbalistisches Alphabet aus 15 Runen lehrt, die in 3 Gruppen eingeteilt werden. Übrigens legt Gregor A. Gregorius (ehemaliger Großmeister der Fraternitas Saturni) z.b. in seinem Buch "Die magische Erweckung der Chakren" großen Wert darauf, dass es eben nicht 7, sondern 15 Hauptchakren gibt. Das wird zahlenmystisch bedeutsam sein.



Lyric:
Listen when the Sibyl speak
(of) prophecies and ciphers in the sky
Adulruna is her name
I will follow - Come to me!
Fifteen runes (were) revealed to me
A holy message from the Frey to Man
Secret letters in my mind
the door is open in your dreams
From ancient days the Sibyl speaks to me
through the northern wind
the Talisman of Gothic Kabbalah (she) reveals to me
The staves and runes are written in the sky
Read the book of Gog
The Talisman of Gothic Kabbalah (will) unite your soul
Kabbalah Upsalica
Odin, Thor and Frey, you'll find them here
I'm the runic kabbalist, the door is open in your dreams
From thrones and temples of the mighty gods
in the halls above the words and runes of
Gothic Kabbalah (are) once again revealed
The soul will fly, ascending into the sky to the halls above
The words and runes of Gothic Kabbalah
they'll break he chains
From ancient days the Sibyl speaks to me
through the northern wind
the Talisman of Gothic Kabbalah (she) reveals to me
The staves and runes are written in the sky
Read the book of Gog
The Talisman of Gothic Kabbalah (will) unite your soul

Hier das gecoverte Lied "Summer Night City". Ich finde es hat was ende-19.Jhdt.-stylisches


Summernight City (Therion)


Und hier das Original.

Summer Night City (Abba)


Lyric:
Waiting for the sunrise
Soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight
Love-making in a park
Summer night city

In the sun I feel like sleeping
I can't take it for too long
My impatience slowly creeping
Up my spine and growing strong
I know what's waiting there for me
Tonight I'm loose and fancy-free

When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
Lots to take and lots to give
Time to breath and time to live

Waiting for the sunrise
Soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight
Love-making in a park
Summer night city

It's elusive
Call it glitter
Somehow something turns me on
Some folks only see the litter
We don't miss them when they're gone
I love the feeling in the air
My kind of people everywhere

When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
And tomorrow
When it's dawning
And the first birds start to sing
In the pale light of the morning
Nothing's worth remembering
It's a dream
It's out of reach
Scattered driftwood on the beach

Waiting for the sunrise
Soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight
Love-making in a park
Summer night city
