SOL INVICTUS "IN A GARDEN GREEN"
This is love, This is hate
This is chance, This is fate
These the rich, These the poor
This is peace, This is war
IN A GARDEN GREEN
This is dark, This is light
This is wrong, This is right
These the strong, These the weak
These awake, These asleep
IN A GARDEN GREEN
These to hide, These to seek
These to laugh, these to weep
These build , these destroy
This a girl, This a boy
IN A GARDEN GREEN
These are flowers, These are weeds
These are healthy , These diseased
These will bloom, These will rot
This the tomb, This the cot
This a path, This a wall
This a plough, This a sword
This is marble, This is clay
This a throne, This a grave
IN A GARDEN GREEN
Is God Good
is God Bad
Is God Happy
Is God Sad
Is God Honest
is God Sly
Is God alive
or did God Die
IN A GARDEN GREEN

SOL INVICTUS "LEX TALIONIS"
The world is full of gods and beasts
Some to serve and some to feast
Avert your eyes from the sky
The lies of God and the God of lies
And even forests once lush and green
Have the stench of murder and children's screams
But bird of prey in your eyes is where our heavens lie
But bird of prey in your eyes is where our future lies

SOL INVICTUS "THE RETURN"
The seasons have turned, the sun is back again
The long nights are over, we have reached the serpent's end
Forget this new God, let the old ones be reborn
We'll hang him on a tree, and crown him with thorns
Our king's beneath a hill, an army by his side
They wait with sword and shield, ready to rise
Our queen is in the moon, the stars and the sky
From a blood red mouth comes a sigh
They said the child was mad, or must be telling lies
For deep in the forest she saw a god with one eye
