Vide, ravens caw in reverence. 
Anthems to the Welkin at dusk. 
In celebration of the few, rhe kin, 
beyond flesh, beyond words. 
Those of the core, beyond gods, 
as gods received. 


I float among them 
on wings once broken, 
now gleaming black. 
I share their song 
of words unspoken. 
Cries of the past. 


In times of fiendish tempest 
bloodlust turns against the coil. 
Hungry for the fall, 
I greet the pit. 
Blind Savage 
Cursing Life. 


Yet, at the moment of my final step 
the hands and golden chains are given. 
Bidding me 
that which can not be deprived: 
The bonds of trust and unity, 
till the end. 


Brethren and sisters of my circle, 
I acclaim thee all. 
When guiding stars are clouded and deranged, 
fear not to take my hand. 


The bonds of trust and unity. 
As gods received 
till the end.
