9. An Ending in Fire
1. Dawn Bringer Invictus
Awake! My obdurate soul
A star shatters the morning
Let us undo the future
Sail the sunset towards a new Dawn
Unfuri the banner invictus
Begotten in iron embrace
Crush the tranquil mercies of catatonia
Put to sword the palsied dog
Abandon the I that was
Engender the fierce spirit
2. Tenebrae
Black chaos expanding
Ouroboros circles in pursuit of itself
Beneath the entropic oceanic abyss
A paradox convulses the universe
Genesis - a gravid flourish of life
Protoplasmic sparks (kindle) an infuriate flame
Febrile brilliance fine points of light
Phosphorescence moves into Man
Unleash subjecting truths in sacred words
Ignite the dominion of absurdity
Fire and Sword imperium - darkness pale
Irradiances flourish where compelled to shine
Deluge - Tenebrae sweeps in on mute limbs
Astride the Plateau glimpse the rising gloom
Acknowledge the nihilism (or ordered procession)
The drowning caress of black swirling waters
Sacrosanct (man as microcosm)
Four temperaments (fuse) - statuesque Entity
The fortitude of a pristine creature
Transcend tyranny - Quintessential Power
The Scorpion beneath the upturned stone
The Snake invisible in the grass
With fangs He protrudes from a scornful smile
As He watches your fortress wash away like dust
Horus ablaze against a setting of Fear
Kingly halo (four tiered earth) at his feet
Sapient eye illuminates the fleeting staircase
Ascent of deliverance - invincibility
I am He
(The Crowned and Conquering One)
Conueror of Fear
He is the refuge towards which you crawl
Yet as poison Fear has tainted your wine
Let fly the arrow marking you for death
He laughs - He represents Foreverness
As an act of penance you mortify your flesh
Shievering for blood wept out as joy
Amassed Silence ruptures to devour
Tenebrae - ushers in the sickened shroud
3. The Sign Draconis
Fel Draconum vinum eorum
Et veneum Aspidum insanibile
(Their wine is the poison of Dragons
And the cruel venom of Asps)
So pray (...) for death to procreate
Poisoning as it falls
A merciless cleansing
Intoxicating Silence among the ranks
Dark waters cold and pallid
Black dawn arise - asphyxiate
As the swineherd
Suffocates...
4. Plateau of Invincibility
Hear unto my voice this prophetic sound
Retreat into sacred solitude
Symbols and signs bear fruit to the wind
Horizons yield seething towers of hate
Insular strength - Invincible
Pay homage to the coming fall
I am the Bringer of Fire to the people
A sacred Entity against mass
Journey the ways that soon be followed
The rebel Teitan Prometheus
Plunging into distant Fears
Incandescent and alone
Crowing myself with bloodied hands
Standing out amongst the fallen
In defience I shout a caustic cry
Invoke invisible Power Invincible
The star shattered Dawn
The beholden Spirit of Destiny
I am He
One is Strength and One is Wisdom
One thwarts the bleak collapsing fall
One attains the gifts of Reason
Empowered with the bitter Truth
Through suffering perseverance to the end
One Strength emerges frozen in Steel
Dark brodding ways come close at hand
Bearing the light of a new day
Tribulate occupy the decayed thrones
As sweet as fire
Glorious Dawn upon the Plateau Of Might
Now Burns
Straining laughter forth from my mouth
A peal of chimes crowning death
I will bear the children of the world
Carry the Wise on the shoulders of fools
Spite and Spit guide sight to the rest
Who in the distance wither and die
Bolts of Fear (of pain, of disease)
Father Struggle awaits in ambush
Winds buffet with no known recourse
A challenge in Glory and Force...
5. The Angry Red Planet
6. There Lies Your Lord, Father of Victories
Treachery of vengeful cruelty and power beyond greed
Defaming the flame of veneration
Smother that which would burn
Accursed is the key to power and glory
But settles envy's wages - Seek!
That glittering gold, the slave has enslaved...
II
Sorrow lies unarmed and wounded
From judgement and vengeance in flight
Woeful is led to the "needy"
As the victor is led to his kin
What marvels could heroes perform
That their gods were unable to do?
Disgrace and betrayal plague the Blessed Ones
As sorrow is thrown to the dogs
Rashness retreats the Battlefather's rage
Walls of flames and the empty glory of divinity
III
He who has never learned to fear
Only can forge an ultimete freedom from
The dying father's shattered steel
Rebirthed to lick the hot blood cool
(So) There Lies Your Lord!
The Father of Victories - Lord Of Light
(Now!) Bathe in the fire!!!
IV
Here I speak of Holy Things
When the ash-wood burns and fierce flames consume...
O sacred Gods hail this raidant Star - Hail!
Sounding from the Noble River
He, to be betrayed, the Son of Freedom
Now more than the heavens
And the Glory of the Gods matters
The accursed key of Eternal Joy
Unerring Sorrow deceived into whitened sepulchre
Compelled into shame by the Hordes of Night
Near the shore comes the charlatan
Before altars flow with blood, illusion - treachery!
Oaths and perjury are idle words
Heavenly Hosts hear the vow of vengeance
Fly home you ravens: rest now blessed hero
There Lies Your Lord!
The flames allure - the accursed key is cleansed
Hojotoho! There Lies Your Lord! Hojotoho!
7. Nucleosynthesis
Shock wave - compression, condensation
Asymmetric magnetism - emergent protostar
Protostar contracion cause thermonuclear reaction
Chandrasekhar limit, HR, main sequence star
Main sequence for a billion years
Hydrogen depletion - contraction begins
Compression overcomes - expansion (to) commence
Turn off point - main sequence is left
Constrant luminosity hides hydrogen expansion
A billion years pass until (the) helium flash
Triple-Alpha-Process causes shrinkage in size
(A) Planetary Nebula is discharged - and dies
Nucleosythesis - shock wave charges (the) surface
Uncontainable - Supernova bursts forth
Most (of) its mass is lost - Stellar Pentecost
White Dwarf dies - Neutron star survives
Or a Blackened Hole?
8. De Stella Nova
9. An Ending in Fire
Refrain from illusion of a world eternal
And on that last perfect day...
To fall and be forgotten...
(The) Lord of Worlds is exhaused
An absolution by fire begins
Elements of life consumed
Collapse recommences
(The) Volatile ash rends the core
A grotesque Phoenix distending...
Ever nearer...
Affirmation, An Ending in Fire
Atmosphere and oceans boiling: diffusion to space
Final ebb of life, to all tenements of clay
Provincial Earth and inferious immersed
The wellspring's reclamation by nuclear fire
The remnant of the paroxysm
A cenotaph of what has been
The doleful reminder - An Ending in Fire
