She is the one who devoured time
And resumed her dark formlessness
Before creation when darkness itself
Was engulfed in darkness
She is the primordial mass
From which all life arose
From which existence arose

The mother of the universe
Dark goddess divine
The mother of the cosmos
Dark goddess divine

She is the one who begets all life
And as well she devours them
To nonexistence where nothingness
Is enclosed in nothingness
She is the maternal substance
From which all gods came forth
From which existence came forth

The mother of the universe
Dark goddess divine
The mother of the cosmos
Dark goddess divine
