From the Ruins |
| Hark! |
| The storms' aeon-old chant in countless tongues summoned… |
| Long… Have the vials lain dusting in thirst |
| The blood they crave must flow… |
| In this foul service in which to chant and kiss the goat |
| For tonight the moon shall be in place, the vials brimmed with crimson fluids |
| For tonight belongs to witches and incantations from the ruins |
| By the meadow, oldest stones give radiance |
| From a circle of black candles' gleam |
| And in the circle swells a sea of voices |
| Deathlike waves rising in consecration |
| …For the ones who roam endlessly |
| …For virgin blood to run free |
| The glimmer of a curved dagger in for a kill |
| Flashing at the virgin’s face — in her eyes, death |
| Hear… The liturgies now said |
| Sealed and sanctified with death |
| The chant becomes wilder, in heat they revel |
| Ecstasy and lust burning for a spell |
| The dagger raised skyward for a frenzied strike |
| The maiden fair and pure stabbed like lowly swine |
| Bleeding dry into vials |
| Disemboweled… A death devout… |
| And by dawn all marks lay gone |
| But the winds bear in mind their songs |
| In the gleam of fire that from the ruins stems forth |
| In the otherworldly colour of their songs |
| From the ruins blood has flown; |
| Their offal lay carried on |
| …In regions beyond life |
| Beyond death and mortal grasp |
| Beyond future and past |
| «From the ruins we call to thee!» |
