The Great

Death’s invisible wand doles out deaths

The unscared are plainly liars, the leading lads are overtired

The eyeful jets swoop over fires, my grenades will pacify us

Ties that bind us severed by frustrated Alexander, knot satisfied with his lot

Zeus-Thoth, longest lot drawer, west and east drawn closer

His foot cloven, his mother a coven member whispered fates to breastlipped King

Lighthouses mark the lightbringer, books the light that he brings in

Coins bear his visage, mighty empires fear his visit

He crosses empty countries full of abandoned villages

Considers rebels idiots, he rule is not perfidious as later Albion

Time of Mabinogion, Fen giants and worship of bloodspattered graven Crom

Wyrd lord Slough Feg, his entrails beg boiling, he is the soil you toil in

John Barleycorn is the life of the fields, what scars the land he deeply feels

When you kneel before the sun, it is upon his flesh that you kneel

When you peel an orange at lunch, it is his flesh that you unseal

While Irish Kings mate with mares to confer kingship

Alexander his horses swifter than ships, his lips born to kiss skies

His mortal form a disguise, swine before his divine eyes

He prizes above all the bridleturn of strong nations

He gives mercy to the fallen, Vae Victis his homesick men crave

Where he casts his stave are cities raised.
