Imposters infiltrate our ranks Obscured by the consequence of fate An inexorable force upon the psyche As the borders between sentience and death Blur, fade, vanish, die! In genocide and sorrow To ascend beyond the dust The dust! In our final hour, acolytes of death The dust our master Master's wrath divine With dying infant in hand and laboured breath Forgotten is the wisdom of our time
