Black Secrets In The Splintering Walls

Ramparts bedeviled
A city under siege
Blockade to push defeat
Army as one, black secrets revealed

War on the wind
The stench at the city gates
Black secrets in the splintering walls
Shed like deadweight

Conjurations to be absorbed
The minstrel hymns
Black secrets in the splintering walls
As the light dims

Mysticism fails
Alchemy is laid to waste
Across the bridge of tyrants crawl
To where the prophecy's faced

The canticles intemperance
Now unfettered, triturate
Dark scrolls with their black secrets
Moulder and regenerate

Splintered walls
Fall to the ground
Across the bridge of tyrants
Hear them howl
