Pintbottom lost kingdom

Drinks I sink them like lost Lyonesse 

Stalks she slinks through, awed lioness

My head in her jaws, the mercy her paws

A long time waiting for applause 

In an empty hall on a weekend off

Upon the wall runes are scrawled 

Salt ring breached as a demon crawled

The ninth Aethyr has been called

The ninth gate cannot be recalled

It waits until paid, its jamb staves painted 

With the paint of pain, as tops a Christ nail.
