Sailing through the snowy portal
Far in the Mountainous North
As glaciers turn to crystals
Across the Arctic Seas we sore
Far beyond the North Wind
A vast portal is unearthed
Traversing its raging maelstrom
Into a world below
Echoes of arcane lands
Echoes of forlorn worlds
Descending deeper and deeper
Leaving behind the frigid surface world
Leaving behind these desolate lands
Sailing past Ultima Thule
A voyage to an inner world
Through the portal hidden in the Arctic Sea
Cold waters stretching endlessly into darkness
Into giant caverns the hunt continues
Enduring the violence of the merciless Styx
Until a warm light illuminates in the distance
Ever-growing
Ever illuminating
Ever calming
Ceasing the turbulence
Unfolding vast forests
Onwards we sail
Until a new world is slowly revealed
An unseen kingdom inside a hollow inner Earth
Illuminated by a red fallen sun
Down its rivers, through its colossal canyons
We’ve entered the realm of the forgotten ones
They’ve dwelt here for ages
These ancient precursors of man
A race of magical giants
Living blissfully in Subterranean lands
Ancient lands nourished by the Earth’s core
A reddish ball of fire they call the Smoky God
Shining upon the pulsing forests of Shambhala
Worshipped by the Subterraneans as their source of all life
Their kingdom we salute
Their rivers we sail
Their people we praise
And their sun we hail

Guide me through the Atlantean forests
Oh great smoky one, great flaming light
In the jungles of your vast domain
I harness thy force for this sacred rite
From a tainted world I come
Escaping an abysmal fate
To align my spirit with thy will
A darkness above I’ve sworn to escape
Breathe me back to life
Great smoky one
Restore my Vrilic light
Oh Subterranean Sun
Shine on me your rays
That ignites my darkened heart
The force of holy Agartha
That frees and purifies all
Far from the world above I’ve come
A world of decadence and tyranny
Ruled by an evil regime
That long ago slayed the wrong enemy
Now in this kingly realm
Where the air pulses with Aether
I inhale the supreme force
The force of eternity
I shall mirror your light
I shall rise beyond all illusions
At one with the force
That destroys all chaos and confusion
RISE
To mirror your light
To rise beyond all illusions
At one with the force
To rise as a godlike spirit
Like a piercing fire in the night
And in the surface world’s black wintery skies
I shall radiate pure Vrilic light
Ignite the Flame
As the shackles of fear are broken
Harnessing the Supreme Force
As my Eye is pried open

At dawn we arrived
Descending on the ancient citadel
A place of tranquility
Where the royal Vril-ya dwell
A place enshrined by their magic
Captivating and mesmerizing
The sacred kingdom of Agartha
Stands and shines before us
A place of solace from the surface world
Behold the White Shores of Agartha
A land far beyond the Arctic portal
Behold the White Shores of Agartha
They took us down their silver streets
And into their golden palaces
To partake of their precious mead
From their shiny and silver chalices
To bestow on us their Vrilic magick
The ultimate force of Prana
That which built their underworld nation
The keys to Thulean Sadhana
So far from our home
But this is the place where we stem from
The place of our people’s birth
This holy kingdom in the depths of the Earth
This sacred land we shall cherish
A hidden world to never perish
Never to be stricken by chaos
Never to bear the fate of Atlantis’s fall
A fallen world, yet a sacred world
A land far beyond the North Wind
Far beyond the dismal surface world above
Behold the White Shores of Agartha
With splendor we ride its streams
Across lands of the unseen
Behold the White Shores of Agartha
