Therion - The Wand Of Abaris Lyrics

You know I always thought it was Spartan arrows block the sun 😎

Larga vida a therion

The hyperborean powers flow through this song into you and me... Then they assume the form of a spiritual flower of Wisdom.

eargasm from 3:45

this song gives me goosebumps :)

therion - wand of abaris
the wand of abaris

Mayday!! Mayday!! this song kill me!!

Great song, have some references from "An arrow from the sun" :)
Live version is much better though

Snowy can wail!!!

Excellent job. You are, man.

Quien fue la vocalista femenina de esta cancion? O todo lo hizo snowy?

+Juan Diego Rojas Jimenez Hannah Holgersson (soprano). and Katarina Lilja (regular voice)

Snowy Sings the high notes

these dislikes are from "this is not Therion anymore" people

I never understood that, are they mad that they've become "symphonic" and want them to stay like there were alla "Of Darkness" cookie-monster death metal? Or is it every album after they have to get mad for them doing something different?

@theblocksays i'm ok with that so i'll keep waiting for them to make something i'd like as much as Secret of the Runes

people have the right to like or dislike. your comment is idiotic. I personally liked this.

The Best Therion song ever written. It's message points far beyond what we can imagine!

@ⰔⰎⰑⰂⰑⰀⰎⰎⰀⰘⰑⰂⰑ more gooder. Yes... perfect english.

@ⰔⰎⰑⰂⰑⰀⰎⰎⰀⰘⰑⰂⰑ More good : better. Period. There is no such thing as gooder, you illiterate fart.

@q̵͑͜w̴̢̅e̵͖͐ŕ̵͙t̴̪̎y̶̻̋u̷͍͠ï̷̤o̷̲͐p̴͈̀a̴̘͛s̸̨͑d̷͠ͅm̷͍̅ k̴͖̔l̶̰̆z̶̘̀ẍ̵͓c̸̩̿v̵͙͝ḇ̵̀ṇ̵̕m̷͍̅ You are totally wrong!!! English language constantly cutted and simplified so idiots will be happy about it. Did you asked a question why so very little people in old times could speak and write their native language while today even foreigners lear it for 3 month?!! Because language in that time was more advanced. So majority of people who where smarter then even modern people could not use it!!!

More better and more gooder are not the same meanings.
For example Therion music can be alot better then my music because they have alot of money and many people working on their music while i am totaly alone and have income of 80 to100 USDs per month!!! I am surrounded only by bitches who will do anything only by money!!!
But Therion is not gooder. Because they have nothing to do with good, but with evil!!! They make music from Devil who mask it self under different masks of fake Gods or magical creatures!!!
Make lies how beautiful Devil is and then kill people when they come close to Devil.

Discovered this jewel some time ago... to me one of the best songs of Therion, of all times. Thanks to all for the information about Abaris and congrats to Zwozze for this perfect video work. 

Jewel :-)

Arcadia can also mean any place of serenity and tranquility and it is this definition that I think is more applicable to the song since Hyperborea was seen as a paradise and there is no evidence of Abaris's nationality and nowhere called Hyperborea has ever been placed on the map since the Greeks simply referred to it as being far north. Bureus theorized that Sweden or Scandinavia was the land of the Hyperboreans who had journeyed north and preserved the primordial spirituality of man in runes

Abaris was Greek and Arcadia is in Greece, do some research!!

harikaaaa !

Wow did you look that up on wikipedia? I think they are aware of that, the song is acknowledging Abaris' journey through many countries and referencing the idea advocated by Bureus that the Gothic runes were keys to Hyperborean knowledge that found it's way to Scandinavia in a pure form before the creation of many tongues and cultures. Besides, they mention Uppsala but you don't see people saying "Abaris wasn't Swedish", plus they mention arcady, which is an obvious reference to Hyperborea.

Or Akkadia that. bordered Sumeria

excelente video

super genial la mejor, de la mejor. woow

MIGHTY!

Abaris was Hyperborean not Agyptian! FFS!

I agree with you. I hope they still have great albums for the near future

Not anymore, if you still have it can you link me?

Once more I hear this song, and the more I hear the more I love it...
Too many time this song wasn't even heard by me, than Suddenly two years ago i give it a chance and wow... Became one of my favourites of all time in general music. This and An Arrow From the sun are hymns for music and even more to metal.

Gothic Kaballah is probably Therion's last masterpiece, hope I'm wrong... But hearing Sitra Ahra, is not the same as hearing any other past album, have lack of dark instrumental atmosphere

@zwozze not anymore, think you can email me a copy?

no mames chida rola mucho Therion

I just love this song, it's my favourite from "Gothic Kabbalah"

What runes are at 5:23 and 5:26?

THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME! BOTH THE VIDEO AND THE SONG! ;-)

One of the few great bands...

I got this a compilation some time ago, have to say, amazing song. Lost it though....
Should get the album some day.

the "font" is called THERION !!
it's free to download from their site
