His horns still burn! Fiercely, magnificently

Beneath the fracturing rent of haunting dark and violent stars

Seen with new eyes torn from the heart of hell

That dancing halo of grey light shatters what was into shards

Yet these eyes were not wrought nor wrested

And through the fires in all places I see

No longer do I strive against the world

For the world now strives with me!

Hunger, War, Death, reborn, Lord, Master, Herald, Executioner...

Reborn

Upon the ruins of Sinai has the sun risen, reborn

To besmirch with its light the faceless statues of the old order

Life a fruit, host to maggots, rotting deep from within

I stand high, atop the mountains as the newborn star of sin

As a pearl in the shit of creation reflecting no light but its own

The stone walls collapse and the gates thrown open: I now hear the Dark Ones groan

Their appetite has now become mine, though I take not a turn for the worse

Fulfillment bereft of satiety. Hunger for hunger! Thirst for thirst!

Tendrils of beasts in the unknown deep rape these wounds with ardour

As embers spit forth from ardent eyes. O lust to know; O, horrors to harbor

Three swords of death emblazon the temple. Earth dripping with empirical blood

Pooling now beneath in the cup of becoming, the world to flood!

Quenchless thirst, Blessed, Cursed, Satan, Master, Herald, Executioner!

Reborn

For a man walking his destiny is said to be carried by the winds of the world

But what then? Should I have carved my own (in the shifting sands)

Into Chaos headfirst am I hurled!

To break the chains that anchor me and in no direction, navigate the cosmic rides

The vessel bound nowhere and the waves that threaten death, am I ridden and upon which I ride!

The chasmal cleft of the darkness yearns, birching the star, where illusion erodes

The dazzling fight of death to where all shall return, illuming a thousand new forks in the road

With arms outstretched in exultation, affront to all consuming stillness, dire

Risen beyond fate with true clarion. The lone spark to ignite the coming age of fire...
