rejoice, darkness returned
all is abyss again (and) creation lies in ruins
black storms blazon the pestilence
desolation in fulfillment
parched the seas
the ground yields sheer dust
trees bear withered fruits
and all gold turned to rust
their feathers burned
birds crawl in sulphured slough
harvest on sour soil
the breed of poisoning death...
the four heads of Eden
ran dry and deserted
all lands sweeped by fire
the ark of life lies stranded
temples tremble and with joy we watch
them giant pillars crumble
burned is the spark of the redeemer
hail the crown of reversion |
