Therion performing their epic second longest piece Land of Canaan (from Sitra Ahra) in KC Vltavská, PRAGUE - Czech Republic 14. X. 2012 during the "Flowers of Evil" tour.

Lyrics:
Noah cursed Canaan to live as a servant
Teshub was angered and the storm
Was sweeping through the land

Land of Gods of wind and sea
Of purple dawns, fertility

I want to see the Great Kings rule again
I want to grow the grapes
For the Canaanites
I want to sail upon the seven seas

I want to see the old gods rule again
I want to make the wine for the Canaanites
I want to sail upon the seven seas
I want to see the Great Kings rule again

They were founders of towns
And the founders of states
Punic Phoenicians
Praise of El Elyon, mighty God of the skies
He's the Father of Man

O El, Father of Man
O Father of Man
O Father of time
El Elyon
El Elyon
Abu, Abu Adami
Abu, Abu Shanima

El, Anath and Baal
O Astarte you're naked with a Lilly
(And you're) Holding a serpent

O Baal-Shamem, Lord of Heaven
Giver of rain, the one who prevails
Son of Dagon
You're the thunder with a spearhead

El, Anath and Baal
O Astarte you're naked with a Lilly
(And you're) Holding a serpent

X
You raise you spear (and) silence the Men
You're the thunder with a spearhead

Qudshu Anath, Shalim, El, Baal Aliyan
Holy Virgin, bringer of peace, Shalim
May all the gods
Break the curse of Canaan
Qudshu Anath, Shalim, El, Ball Aliyan

From the sea to Jordan
They will travel in the name of gods
Temples of Ugarit
Honour gods under the cedar trees

Sail on the sea, come to me
Through the night
Pass through the gate
And steer your course
Until you reach the gods

Enter the sky
Take a step
Make them see
When you arrive
Go all the way
Until you reach
The gods
