Augury

...As Sea Devours Land

Augury


One day the sun seemed to fall 
And the horizon came, soaring 
Clouds racing, ground heaving 
Crumbles another kingdom 
Engulfed where skies and sea collide 
Hear the whistles turning to howls 

Quicken your pace northward 
As sea devours land 
Billions swept away 
Envied by the living 
In global mourning 

Suffering in unison 
They cry at azures darkening day by day 
Wilting breed of legends 

Forsaken breed 
Giants have fallen, hitting stones together again 
Vain calls for a lost light 

Gathered for the Holocaust 
They yield lives away 
For gods to embody again 
Then from the abyss ascended 
This now happens to you again 
Under many disguises 
The wombs yield offerings 
As they did, as they will 
Slavery will never cease
