Sacred words were scratched on sacred skins,

elemental curse to light a candle to,

Turning darkness into light,

ancient hymns will light the words to come.



Vellum, vellum, adoremus vellum.

Vellum, vellum, adoremus vellum...



Sacred words still speaking

to bring the message from the annals,

Age-old meaning, answers for all times.



Vellum, vellum, adoremus vellum.

Vellum, vellum, adoremus vellum.

Book of vellum, book of vellum...



Sacred signs and symbols are painted there to find.

Angels weeping, devils creeping on the margins of my mind.

Soar with the eagle; the ox is standing on your page.

The blind and the learned walk together (adoremus vellum)

to learn sacred things...



Vellum, vellum, adoremus vellum...
