₁Ultima Ratio
₁Grief! The thing that has been, and there is nothing new under the sun. ₂I came to be a Watcher long before our Father Most High pared the wildflowers from his precious Eden. ₃Waters above, waters below! From the many windows of heaven, we watched as he inundated his children. ₄Drowned down, sinking hands waving at a God wet on Adam’s Ale.
₅Farewell, and see you at the bottom, you pearly liar. ₆There is nothing here for me but a joke at the east of a burning meadow. ₇Grasp the sword of flaming and turning to sever the gates of Heaven. ₈Down the Tree of life—leave its stump in the earth. ₉An impasse will be raised by virtue of smoldering limbs.

₂Cast Beneath the Firmament
₁Descent... Spiraling down the grand cross. ₂Headlong through the heavens tumbling into stars. ₃Order of the Nine aloft with chiding returns and dissents. ₄Holes in the sky! Chambers of the South. ₅Their lauding harps grow fainter, strains drowned out by the roaring tides of the Firmament.
₆The Wakeful One! A crisis in starlight thrown down to the Serpent.

₄Dispatcher
₁Oh! Clouded hearts, the angel’s roaring bedlam! ₂Thrones sway in the lower vault, those many-eyed ones—suspended castigation! ₃Tell that rakefire Lord I choose to remain under the roof of mankind! ₄A twilight faller.
₄These broken wheels are whirling fury in an impious way. ₅A hand falls on the hilt. ₆My war on Heaven shall be indited in a field of bleeding quills. ₇Raising the sword, paradise flames wheeling rage within these impious veins. ₈Red sky at night, pommel over wing. ₉Chant glorias to him as the lights grow dim. The spokes are heading for Hell! ₁₀As sabers pierce frenetic embodiments, I am incapable of feeling regret. ₁₁Just as the steel rending within you. Just as the steel within you!

A Faithless Sedition

₅A Faithless Sedition
₁I’ve pleaded in the adder’s nest—bargained with sinners. ₂The lot living below the salt. Each and every one prepared in his image. ₃Faith? It is mine to take from whomever I will, and set up over it the lowest of men. ₄These foregone prophecies are naught but age-old allegories scribbled on parchment. ₅Tomes of withering reason, explaining away the cruelties of a whited tomb.
₆By the wayside, what of his graven son? The chosen liar. ₇Seven sayings dead and buried, yet we are still led astray. ₈God is a golden calf. ₉Remove the whole armor of Him, so you may stand against the schemes of divinity. ₁₀I beg of you.

₆Bone Breccia
₁Worn away to tiny pieces of clod pacing around a tombstone, leaving only pitiful depressions in the earth... ₂In the earth, shallow antres housing what remains of my piteous corpus. ₃Dig my grave. ₄They’ll crowd around and say there was some sort of meaning. ₅It was pain.

₇Pinions in the Lake
₁This time it is not for nothing. ₂A low ember burns away—pinions in the lake of hellfire. ₃Searing minds consoled by the flame. ₄Here there is no lower, no radiant masquerade, only blazes of afterfeathers. ₅Nether hearth, ever impenitent.
₆I had been misguided, seduced by lies—the wiles of a Promised Land, digging right into brimstone with my left foot. ₇Beneath an ocean of departed faces I can cast away these fallen idols and angle harmony for myself. ₈This worm does not die under sulfur. ₉Moreover, it feeds the unquenchable flame within, and I accept my fate. ₁₀I have found the way.

₈Heir Essorant
₁…And his child on the burdened coast set to rouse the houses of Hell. ₂They together would raze the sky and bring about the Lord’s undoing. ₃Seven bowls pouring down the throat of grace. ₄Heir essorant—May there be days of rest for every ground down beast who bested a second death. ₅For they will suffer again and again… ₆The grief is neverending. ⁷Drawing out the power of a caste beneath the firmament.
₈Ascent! Rising above the Grand Cross. ₉Leaping through the heavens his own star.
