Album version
- Oh, God! Oh, Jesus Christ! Oh, my God! Christ! No, no, dear God! No, Christ!
- Mighty god of the Sun, bountiful goddess of our orchards, accept our sacrifice and make our blossoms fruit.
- Accept our sacrifice and make our blossoms fruit!
- Mighty god of the Sun, bountiful goddess of our orchards...
- Hear ye the words of the lord!
- ...accept our sacrifice and make our blossoms fruit.
- Awake, ye heathens, and hold! It is the Lord who hath laid waste your orchards! It is he who hath made them bare!
- Reverence the sacrifice.
- Hold, ye husbandmen, because the harvest of your field hath perished and the vine is dried up and the apple tree languisheth! Even all the trees of the field are withered because the truth is withered away from the sons of men. Desire shall fail and ye shall all die!
Samples from The Wicker Man (1973)

Un'ora segnata dal destino batte nel cielo della nostra patria.
L'ora... l'ora... delle decisioni irrevocabili.
La dichiarazione di guerra... è già stata consegnata agli ambasciatori.
(...)
English translation:
An hour appointed by destiny has struck in the heavens of our fatherland.
The hour... the hour of irrevocable decisions.
The declaration of war has already been delivered to the ambassadors.
