A sour wind brought it to our shores and anchored it from the tide
Where it pooled in every furrow and open fold
and sank into the soil
It makes its presence known in the filth of slums
and the splendor of foreign metropoleis
Whose wealth and grandeur were won at the crack of the whip
and the point of the bayonet
Borne on knives
Our rapture
Borne on knives will breathe
A new Sun will breathe
Spewing a venomous tension deep into sinew and soul
Stirring the blood toward murderous movements
Its tongue weaves whispers of fields choked with the blood of the master
and the blood of the fellow man
It makes its presence known with a flame in the heart
Burgeoning with righteous fury and fervor
Steeling the hand and the eye
Awaiting the hour of dusk drawing ever near
Beat your ploughshares into spearheads
and mark your flesh with the symbols of your will and fortitude
Seek the aid of unclean spirits and bind them under our Sign
"May you wither and crumble
May you hunger as we have hungered
May we die, yet rise again
To die and rise again"

Out of one will come many
Awaiting the Sign
Out of many will be one
Clotted and ready
And fire upon every heart
May your instruments bring forth mire and viscera
May you burn brighter than any sun
May you leave naught but ashes and smoke in your wake
May your embers be many and never die
You will be one with blood and fire
You will be one who desecrates and defiles
You will be one who sows refuse and heartache
You will be fear and love
You will be made a vessel of heresy
You will be one whose spirit is made anew
You will be one who excises corruption
You will remake the world
You will be one who passes through all things
Such that none could stand against
You will be a spear at the throat of Heaven
You are one whose will is made manifest in laughter and in lament
In steel and in love
And you will be our blinding Dawn
Unperturbed and unwavering in action and conviction
The death of the old
The birth of the new
Out of one will come many
Prepared to fall
Out of many will be one
Steadfast and swarming
Hearts born once more

Through ravenous fire
Through blood and bone
Our Sun is risen
Burning through firmament in light unending
Rejoice in what you have wrought
Herald of Dawn
Servant of Mars
Pitiless death and fury
The old world is halted
Scorched and in ruin
Rejoice in the world yet to come
My own flesh!
My own blood!
What stills your heart?
What stops your hand?
What holds your eye?
Behold in truth and fleeting glimmer
A land not dry and barren save for detritus
Behold new Eden
Growing
Immanent
Nascent ecstasy!
Herald of Dawn
Prey of dogs and vultures
Never will you taste harvest
Or in fire be made pure
Go now all too soon
With valor laid bare in dust
Disfigured
Disfavored
Unhonored
