Gaze at the distance that sharp flashes reveal

Breathe in the foul winds that roar colder than steel

See mountains tremble beneath the crumbling sky

Nowhere to flee to, the dreaded hour creeps nigh

So swift returns to dust what painstaking years accrued

The dance of tempests flares in tremendous magnitude

From a place of judgement and initiation

Ascend the blinding sparks of renovation

This is not a warning, this is not a drill

This is where the faceless move in for the kill

Titanic graves yawn beneath your last stand

Contraction expands, fulfill its demand

Times of trouble call, birth pangs pound through strife

Rotting kingdoms fall, death begets new life

The serpent bites its tail, the wolf devours the sun

For all the welked and frail the reaping has begun

Viral vector, septic sector

Violent attrition, crushed opposition

Furies awaken, concord forsaken

Hostile intrusion, forceful exclusion

No other way out of poisonous stagnation

Drown in twilight to grasp the new dawn

Strongholds in flames kindle higher constellations

Within the collapse only war rages on

And as the dimness swallows the grey shores

And blackened waters embrace your final glance

Only now you face what's taken its course

Only now you're stripped of your lethargic trance

Under foreign clouds pealing calls resound

Tearing light apart, striking the cold ground

This moment is final, relinquish hope and trust

Your flesh and blood is carrion, your building stones are dust

Straight into the heart of the verminous empire

Straight into the eye of the stillborn waning sun

Straight into tomorrow as decayed ages expire

Straight into renewal as your whole world comes undone
