For He speaks with thunder!

For He sings with flame!

He is crowned by a halo of bone

He is risen! Give praise!

A thousand mouths that yawn and clasp

A thousand eyes that see without sight

Blessed are those

Who sow salt in the wounds of Christ

Now bear witness to the coming

As the earth now heaves in pain

Now bear witness to the crowning

As the beast claims the throne most high

Hear the calling thunder

See the cleansing flame

Crowned by the halo of death

He is risen! Give praise!

Blessed are those

Who wear the mark of sin

Behold the graveyards

Where creation lies

Arise, Great Devourer

Ascend, Great Destroyer

Eternal opposer of life

Empty the chalice of ruin over creation

And in the heart of man, hope turns to dust!
