Imperial Vengeance

The Black Idol
This pilgrimage we undertook to wastelands where an Empire stood,
Where feathered evil watches from on high;
Where desolation stretches on all sides in ruinous divides,
And all around the bitter wind doth sigh.
Proud epitaphs did once declare：'Look you upon me and despair'
Yet tides of time have washed away all trappings of dominion.
But when unto the East we turned our eyes and saw a shape arise
It's fearsome outline black against the heavens.
And so upon the winding road we trod our way toward the shape
That towered above the skyline: a black and fearful silhouette.
'I saw the fathers of this land arise
To climb and reach the sky;
Ambition burning in their hearts
Great heights above the plain did fly.
They raised their spires and towers tall:
A kingdom bright beneath the sun
And in my name they conquered all.
Hail, tyranny and dominion.'
'But yet this kingdom soon forgot
The legacy of He Who Watched
And in a mere handful of dust
I bought them fear : a freezing ire;

The winter's pale embittered heart
That beats a solitary drum.
With darkling skies put out their sun
Forever, and without farewell.
Their wonderland in silence fell.'
Memorial to long-dead days, of endless tears, uncounted years:
A legacy of broken flesh, and an Empire built on blood and sweat.
But yet when drawing two days closer 'cross the half-lit frozen plain;
And standing in the shadow of the black colossus, cruel and grim.
Each heard a ghostly voice that whispered in our ears and so did seem
To tell a dismal history, a chronicle of mordant dream:
'Small gods in your created heavens,
Bewail thy crumbling paradise
Forever, and without farewell.
Their wonderland in silence fell
I am the great devourer when darkness doth descend
I am the destroyer - I am the hungry end.
Gripped in fearful outline, a shape that none defy
Your Aeons pass uncounted as I sit and watch the sky.'
