To and fro, through freeze and thawsFrom zenith to nadirThe universal tug of warSaw lines drawn in the sands appearDivisions of a promised landAnd hell for those that dweltBeneath a pharaoh's granite handWhere death wed something elseMillennia swam passedSince the covened arkRan aground on ararat...But anew, tempered shadows grewOut of midian, strewing fearOver verdant lawns, the resurgent stormsLed a desert son to searFrom the palace orchard I espied...(where swooning trees and moonless beams viedFor the painted eye of the royal brideWhose gliding curves were deified)... Beyond her grace where love would dieWretched destiny arriveBack and forth the prophet cameRiddled with a tongue of plaguesThat would render might egypt lameIf the rage of God stayed unassuaged...I listened with a heavy heartBut unveiled to the threatsThis hebrew in a jackal's maskWould dredge into effectThenceforth the nile reddenedS if set stretched his handTo beset the damnedAnd bruised with fliesThe skies grew leadenedBut these miracles, fearedWere all but rearedBy nature, whose law aloneStood that reveredThis hysteria passed, but still the markOf yahveh burned on in the darkOne final time, on the steps to the shrineOf thoth, I twined with fatelet my people gostill my word is nothen death shall be the deciding plagueSince the crimes divine I left behindI'd warred with every tribe that pliedIn holy vestament, but with timeBored sore of clawing what was mineI laid my bones and made my throneWith a view to paradiseThenceforth the heavens deafenedAs if great beastsWere unleashed to feast on manAnd with carrion spanMichael was weaponedTo descend with scornA dark reformThrough pi-ramsesSkinning mine and her firstbornThus suspiria passed each sacred markOf yahveh, bleeding in the darkWith nauseous dawn, a cry, forlornUnified from plazas deepThe prophet's curseFar worse had workedTo wrest the war in me from sleepDrowned in light, a downward lightBathed the snaking exodusThrough the wildernessAs the aeons creptImpressed with fresh bloodlust
