The Ray of Green Light
Arise, Black Sun
The Inward Star.
Entranced, I turn the Key
With my Left Hand.
Stream out, Green Ray
The Inner Source.
From Holy Grail I drink
The Emerald Blood.
Physis
Aeons of Earth
I hold in my hand...
Ages transform
Cold matter into flesh.
Aeons of Birth
Of Death, forever...
Expand Time and Space
In One Golden Breath.
Aeons of All...
Forces harmonize
Behold! We Live!
Physis! Perfection!
Abraxas
Abraxas! Daemon God!
Both Creator and Destroyer.
Inhale, Exhale,
And shatter the Green Glass.
Abraxas! Both light and Dark!
Under the Banner of Life.
Inhale, Exhale,
And break through the Cosmic Egg.
Abraxas! Beast and God!
Through the Dancing of Forces...
Dagaz, Jera,
...Turning the Wheel.
Ascending Descent!
Abraxas! Reflection!
Collision of all matter...
Dagaz, Jera,
...And all spirit
United as One!
Pleroma
One Soul.
Forever,
Vibration Throughout.
Divine Will to Power,
The All, The AUM..
Change not..
..Polar Strobe,
I NOUS I AM.
Pleroma...
...Now Eternal.
One Will.
One Soul.
The Golden Sun
Sunna,
Mother Light,
The Rays of Power.
Absorb,
From the Height,
Celestial Fire.
Spiral Wind,
Give Life,
Illuminate.
Our Bodies,
Bathing in the Light,
Of Heat and Vision.
Rise Up! In Gold! Azure! Blood Shine!

Beyond the Strength of Kings
The first Eldrig composition, recorded in 2003, consisting of three movements, each around 20 minutes in length. Inspired by the process of Will to Power as Evolution, the first movement, “The Body and the Force,” illustrates the development of primitive life, consciousness, and finally self assertion and spiritual deification.
Pulsing Breathing Rising Over Mountain-Starlight Shining
Knowing Thinking Calling Above Planet-Spirit Reaching
Forcing Warring Gaining Beyond Cosmos -Soul Dispersing
Mind Connecting-Earthly Body
The following image consists of the original diagram of the complex rhythmic arrangement, woven into the cycling chord structures of various themes during the acoustic overture at the beginning of the album. It first shows three individual mappings for rhythmic motifs corresponding to three different chord progressions, followed by a series of squares, circles, and triangles representing each motif in proper arrangement.
The second movement, “The Life and the Law,” deals with the inescapable Laws of Nature, and the experience of Life. The passage here describes the trinity of Polarity and Union (The One, The Other, and The Whole) and further explicates on the subjugation of Matter and Life by Cosmic Law.
Thrice is the union
Merging...Constant
Threefold the axis dictates:
One is All...
...All Fire All Ash
It grabs one by the throat
Stares one in the face
And demands action.
All Fate All Change
It brings upon the fight
Gives one not a choice
And lays waste to those who cower.
All Birth All Death
It thickens up the blood
Forges hard the bone
And hurls one into all pain and suffering.
All Light All Dark
It makes the mind a sword
Forces one to kill
And reaches in one's soul with flaming hand to appraise the power.
The second image shows the original rhythmic charts for various extended passages. These charts proved quite necessary during the recording process because of the speed at which these passages are played and the unusual arrangement of the various rhythmic refrain. As seen, different motifs are represented by arbitrary symbols and mapped out on measure charts.
The final movement is concerned with Man’s destiny on Earth within the context of unity with the Divine Forces. It’s title is “The Way and the One.” The following excerpt expresses the desire to live a life of honor and consequence. To reach for a higher meaning through reverence of Eternal Law and blood continuity.
I can breath,
When my lungs fill with air of ancients.
I can see,
When the view reaches infinitely.
I can feel,
When my soul touches rays of starlight.
I can be,
When my heart pumps the blood of millions.
Hail Natures Will
“Beyond the Strength of Kings” is a work of uncompromising musicianship that expresses the far reaching desires of the Higher Man to unify his actions with the Spirit of Cosmic Law, thereby awakening the God-Force within. It stands as the audacious, sprawling first effort of the Eldrig discography, signaling the spirit of artistic independence destined to grace every Eldrig release.

The King of Fire
The name “Eldrig” is derived from the Old Norse - Fire and King.
:Fire: Representing Heat and Light, as that of the Sun, and also of the Hearth. It is the energy source, and also symbolizes the act of living, emphasizing the burning of passions. Although the source of light and life, fire is also a destructive force that consumes everything in its path. In this way it is also an element of purification, a force that reduces to ash any who are undeserving of its power.
:King: Representing the Natural Order as applies to the hierarchy of Men through the self willed authority of the dominant personality. The Universal Will to Power drives all species to struggle for dominance within their own kind so that the assertiveness of an inborn inclination to rule, combined with a mental and physical capability, is requisite for a position of the highest rank. This is manifest in the human species through the aggrandizement of royalty.
Thus, “Eldrig” is the Noble Fire. The elemental force of light and life burning within the Human Soul which drives toward material realization, and the acquisition of rank and power as inspired by the external and internal energy source (the Golden Sun and the Black Sun). It is also the crowning of the Promethean Spirit, whose bold daring demands Lordship and Responsibility, whereby it remains in keeping with the Natural Order.
