Majesty

Black the night that closed around me,

(Now I see!)

When I listened as He promised

Majesty.


Long I waited; still she turned and

Looked on you!

Son of few years, quickly fading:

Mortal, true.


Shadows steals across the City,

Hidden light;

I shall drown both star and candle:

Bring the Night.



See the furnace-glow of crimson?

Hear the roar?

To Doom I have brought completion:

Nothing more.



Bloody chaos breaks around me,

Unafraid;

I shall find her – she'll forget you:

Fate unmade.



But your arms are strong as iron,

Have no doubt;

Past the rail meant to save me

I spill out.




Seven times they jagged crush me,

Wrathful stones;

'Til I fall no more but lie here-

Shattered bones.



Blood-stained rise the walls above me,

Heaven marred;

As light through deep water darkly:

Radiance charred.



Ragged, now, my cloak of glory,

Seeping red;

Here in silence ends this story:

Here lies dead.
