Hymn

I.
Soldiery laid upon the hills in a chorus of the wind
Tempest rage emits the sin and a song of the rain
Holy pain
Forgiven and profane
The belligerent and insane
Cross the eerie plain

Construct the evening of the battle in a sacred realm of hope
Believed the echoes within a spectrum of torches and of light
Cold was the night
Intrepid sight
Aurora and kite
The medieval sprites

Corroded stone of prophecies in the cavern gleam
The spectral knight shall shine his sword in the void cascade
Alone and afraid
Sharpening the blade
Cool in the shade
The piper played

And so the barbarian shot his sign of fire into a town
The legions of evil took the grounds and forbid the song to play
Night and day
The opposite way
Merry or gay
Hidden away

The court was stunned at the exhibit of the tyrant's head
An audience of skeletons laughed at the melting scene
Shouting serene
The forest canteen
A battle of blues and green

The solo lasted to the dawn of logos and a path
Overlords of the black revealed a ruby ring
The legion shall sing
Laughter they'll bring
Announce a king

II.
The feast for elders gathered arguments
The love shall fade
Aboard a ketch atop the mountain lake
In the dusk shade

Mirrored hall for the rite
With stars and the sun
Removed the iron drawn into his hand
A resurrection has begun

All the lauded men began a phrase
The soldiers sat in the haze

Distance shrouded in the evergreens
Sparrow eye and fears
The holes of surreal imagery
Within a lapse of years

III.
A lighted hill under the twilight was the focus of the winter
A storm of pale and a soft brigade shall cover the scene
Shouted serene
A cold canteen
The battle of blues and green

A troupe of watchers enters the coliseum stage
Mixed with colors on their fabrics whilst a musician calls a tune
Bold was the rune
Lost in June
Sun and moon

IV.
A philosopher viewed the silence within the landscape of dawn
He perceived the moment's relative state of instantaneous power
Upon the calyx of the lotus sat an idea within the form of a raindrop
It ran to the soil and escaped the liberating experience of a simple flower

In the conscience obscured by the storm
The distress of the savior on his page
The quartet of lyrics sung the rites of the seasons
The stage was burnt with the fury of musical rage

The hermit stood upon the stone
The lamp staff within his hand
He looked upon the misty dawn
And conceived the basis of the noble land

A holy doxastikon
Caressed the pond of youth
Bathed within the icy river
Bathed within a sentence of truth

A battle fugue and a hymn of grace
To announce the heavenly sprites
A bridge for the hollow nativity
A mass of one with their lights

V.
Ode of the lovers hymnal charity and sanctity
A corner for the universe and all that fits their word
Some spectral illusion from the whispers
Of the king and his bird

The forest echoed with the cheers of the woodland residents
The gleams of sunlight showered upon the autumn lawn
Join the fawn
In sacred dawn
