In the years of the primal course
The dawn of terrestrial birth
Man mastered the mammoth and horse
And Man was the Lord of the Earth
He made him a hollow skin
From the heart of an holy tree
He compassed the earth therein
And Man was the Lord of the Sea
Controlled the vigour of steam
He harnessed the lightning for hire
He drove the celestial team
And man was the Lord of the Fire
Deep-mouthed from their thrones deep-seated
The choirs of the aeons declare
The last of the demons defeated
For Man is the Lord of the Air
Arise, O Man, in thy strength!
The kingdom is thine to inherit
'Til the high gods witness at length
That Man is the Lord of his Spirit
I will become master of the universe
