URKH 1

It's Cruel Snow
But Not The Sun
That Fondles Feathers Of The Bird→
The She-Wolf→ Led By The Fire That Burns→
Madly Quickens  Her Run→

It's Only Possible To Die
WiThout Cry But Full Of Power→
Small Copper Change Is Hid And Covered
By Scattered Diamonds

It's Only Possible To Kill
The Reason Of Being And Of Aim→
He Who Will Shoot Himself In Head
Of Thrill Will Tear The Thread→

URKH 2

Half-Open Are The Eyes Of Blaze
But Rage Of Day Does Not Abate→
The Hawk Of Vengeance Flies Away
To Count The Righteous
And Replete

The Unity Of Owls And The Moon→
The Eyes See Light In Their Blindness→
And Slowly Is Reduced To Ashes By The Fire
The Eagles' Blood

For Kiss There Is→ A Bite And Death→
To Feel The Pain The Birds Will Fly→
And Wolves→ The Killers That Are Wise→
Will Force→
The Weak→
To Die→

URKH 3

Fall Asleep→ At The End Of The Day→
The Moon Turns The Way Into Ashes→
In The Ominous Play Of The Flame
There Is Nothing But God's Tenderness

There Is Nothing But Reinforced Purity→
What Love Forbids Is Defied→
It Is Darkness In Its Fury
That Saves
The Light

It Is The Wisdom Of The Slayer
That Strives The Living To Unravel→
He Who Tomorrow The Truth Will Reveal
Is Bound To Die→ Today→

URKH 4

Death
Creating The Beauty
Will Always Overcome→
And What Is Really Red Like Blood→
Will Shine
And Shimmer Bright

What's Really→ Really Black→
Will Keep The Thrill Inside→
Every Innocent Hides
The Evil And Rebellious

It's Tenderness That Calls
To Torture And Demolish→
The Flight Of Deathly Claws→
Will Make→ The Pure→
Flourish

URKH 5

So Frozen In The Deathlike Fire
The Birds Are Silently Flying→
And In The Center Of Outlined Range
Still Furious→
They→
Alight→

The Whirlwind Of The Snow Again
Makes Deathly Purity Attractive→
You Are → Whose Truth Is → Nowhere
You Are → Whose Sense Is→
To Attack

You'll Have The Sun All To Yourselves→
But Shadows Of The Moon Fly High→
And Claws So Tenderly Will Touch
My Lips

URKH 6

Him Who Has Unleashed The War
Killing Never Pangs→
All Money's To The Flare Thrown
To Let The Fire Reign

And Females Are Given To Males
To Feel The Joy Of Copulation →
For Beauty And For Revelation
A Temple From Skulls
Is Made

Let The White Sheets Burn Away→
No Steps Do The Flying Want→
Into The Space Of New Void
Shadows Are Cast
By The Wing

URKH 7

The Harmony And Blood Are Bound→
You Eagles Live To Hunt→
The Arrow Is Touched By The Palm→
And Freezes
The Feverish Body

The Blade Is Touched By The Palm
To Make The Revelation Bright→
And Birds Of Predatory Psalms
Fly High→ And Cry→

The War Is Always Summing Up→
For Love There's No Perfection→
Let Us Forget The Heavenly Attractions
THE CRUELTY IS
TENDERNESS
OF GOD
