The Life
The Strength

In four moons
The Antlered One
Will go to rest....
("ELEMBIVOS", by Eluveitie)

"'Elembivos' is the start of autumn, because in the Celtic calendar the year starts with winter. Autumn is the last stadium of it. Lyrically we have this choir, reminding of Cernunnos which is also a figure in Celtic mythology. Cernunnos is actually very similar to this golden bull, I mean, he symbolizes life itself and nature, every living creature. Cernunnos is very active, he awakes in spring and he is active during summer. When Elembivos comes and autumn draws near, he is slowly preparing to rest and sleep. When Samon comes, the winter, then Cernunnos goes to sleep for three months and begins to wake up again when spring comes again. This is what the choir says.”

    We all come from the Green Lord, and to Him we shall return.
    Like an autumn leaf falling to the forest floor.

    We all come from the Horned God and to Him we shall return.
    Like a wild stag running from the hunter's bow.

    We all come from the Sun God and to Him we shall return.
    Like a spark of flame rising to the heavens
