Pagan Dawn - Liturgy

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
