Hymn To Pan (The Horned, The Horny, And The Adversary: The Principle Of The Will)
Lyrics: S. Manteuffel

Great Pan descends from Lykaion's rock
Walks ahead and leads his flock
Nymphs and satyrs join his clan
Joyful is the dance he leads
Carnal lust is what he feeds
Ignites the lust for life in man

Gently plays his wooden flute
Puts us in a yearning mood
Lust for flesh in close embrace
Aroused desire of the loins
The cycle of what parts and joins
Everlasting is this race

Attended by his nymphs and fauns
All night long until it dawns
Pan brings sensual delights
At day he leaps across the meadow
Fool and deer scared by his shadow
Secret king of passionate nights

In rallies held by thee in moonlight
Lewdness raves, long after midnight
All-begetter, goat in heat
God of prurient sensation
Dionysian intoxication
Make prosperity complete

To mega therion, horned beast
Ithyphallos trismegistos
Thy blessed orgy, holy feast
Leaping goat-god Capricornus

Phallophoria sacred rite
Godhead, manifest in man
The higher self comes forth by night
Expands and makes me Aegipan

Pan!
Ithyphallos, multiplier
Virility is thy empire
Pan-daimonic force of lust
The spark of fleshly strong desire
Essence of the inmost fire
Towards the booty is thy thrust

Goat of thine, greet me as thee
Goat of thine, I am wild and free
I carry on thy sacred flame
To chase and grab what I desire
A life of pleasure thou inspire
I'm part of thy eternal game

Ithyphallos, multiplier
Virility is thy empire
Pan-daimonic force of lust
The spark of fleshly strong desire
Presence of the inmost fire
Towards the booty is thy thrust

I'm of thy flock, I am wild and free
I'm of thy goats, I am thee
I carry on thy sacred flame
To chase and grab what I desire
A life of pleasure thou inspire
I'm part of thy eternal game
