[lyrics by thomas karlsson]
[music by christofer johnsson/kristian niemann]
Fly, great bird taus - fly to the sunrise
your feathers and the crown, the symbols of your strength
taus (in) your follower's dance
The offspring of azrael - accused as apostates
but they're blessed by mele al kawat, aks whose guest shall the sanjak be?
Melek taus
Sheik adi, yezi - say hol hola!
the peacock lord is here, the serpent king will rise
Seven angels, seven seihs - waiting on mount lalesh
until the day theay hear you pronounce: "as behre azide sarum!"
Hear the peacock lord declare: "don't say my secret name!
i was, am now and shall have no end...you will know me as melek taus"
Melek taus
