A cascade of lightning startles the firmament
A thousand black hooves clatter
Upon the mountain


Grey plume of dust
Red flag of blood

Blue shining blade of sky

Spark with no cause

Wound with no sword

Fresh skulls and supple bones

Golden helm of radiance

The incantation uttered by no one

The call to arms from nowhere

The message from the clarion

Resounded across deaf hills
Men awoke
And sprayed their blood upon the earth


Spark with no cause
Wound with no sword

Unseeing eye
Blood mixed with blood
