Astride the leagues of ash Wind-driven thousand dunes I raised a totem against the sky Weeping a torrent of ash A pillar of thousand skulls Rearing towards the sky I howled into the wind Until my voice dried My throat hoarse Lips cracked on the words The sand filled my eyes Quenched my thirst Murmured of secrets I inhaled the timeless lore I tasted of nameless monuments Worn to wind-borne dust The salt of inhuman monoliths Distilled of antediluvian seas Tang of blasphemous altars Seeped in oceans of blood Conflagration of wisdom Incinerates the self A greater knowledge bestowed Assumed a guise of ancestral Mantled in ancient ways Wind rose from the east Drove the dunes due west Made a way for me to pass I gathered debris of the past To be recast in a truer form Secret history of the world I shed my blood for mortar Bled dry under accusations of the sun Blackened husk of a hollowed ruin Enduring beyond demise A sum of eroded relics Interred into obscurity Made whole again A thousand catacombs yawn Primordial hysteria dawn The Void within Domus Mundi Recast shapes of forgotten past Where untold centuries remain Writhing in wordless disdain
