|
On the marble cliffs above the waves |
|
Beneath the rising inferno of history |
|
Exiled in the quickening twilight of salvation |
|
Awake to the light of a colder consciousness |
|
The decay and renewal of the blood of promise |
|
A faith without meaning? |
|
A discipline without justification? |
|
Devoid of the fear of nothingness |
|
Being born of nothingness |
|
The great immaculate inhuman pulse |
|
Behind the teeming carcass of false life |
|
On the marble cliffs above the waves |
|
Beneath the devouring inferno of history |
|
Exiled in the threatening twilight of salvation |
|
A hero turned traitor |
|
A traitor turned hero |
|
The assassin turned saint |
|
Our patron saint of murder |
|
Were these the last disciples of the lords of victory |
|
Bound and gagged on the whirling horns of destiny |
|
Gathering like ghosts at the broken altars of life |
|
To prey where vermin have carried the plague? |
|
Treachery and honur |
|
Like the double blade of life itself |
|
Passing with the sun from the shadows of the world |
|
To fall to earth like so many shattered stars |
|
The burnt out and petrified tears of eternity |
|
On the marble cliffs above the waves |
|
Beneath the dying inferno of history |
|
Exiled in the fleeting twilight of salvation |
|
Hailing the light of the colder consciousness |
|
The renewal and the decay of the blood of promise |
