Chain of Minerva Lyrics

Adelruna antiqua
The phophecy of Sibylla
I look into the mirror, a picture appears
Future, future…
A prophecy I see
I behold in the well: 2012
On the cross, on the hanged man’s flesh,
You can read the runes of this prophecy
I can read the signs
I see!
Eagles don’t eat flies
Movements in the sky predict the year
The mind of mine flies high
Adelruna antiqua
The prophecy of Sibylla
I stand on the mountain
I decipher the runes
I see, I hear the link of Minerva
The sound of astral bells
2012
I’m a link on Minerva’s chain
I’m the lion
Pure is the (chosen) one
I can read the signs
I see!
Eagles don’t eat flies
Movements in the sky predict the year
The mind of mine flies high
Adelruna antiqua
Adelruna antiqua
The prophecy of Sibylla
The prophecy of Sibylla
Adelruna antiqua
Adelruna antiqua
The prophecy of Sibylla
The prophecy of Sibylla
Adelruna antiqua
Adelruna antiqua
The prophecy of Sibylla
Adelruna antiqua
Adelruna antiqua
The prophecy of Sibylla
The prophecy of Sibylla

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think it's talking about the mayans and their prediction that in 2012 the world would end. Sibylla is prophetess i think.

In the occult tradition, Minerva is associated with traditional knowledge being passed down from an experienced teacher to a new initiate or student.
