Babylon Burning - Rune

Limp hand outstretched

Desperate to touch the hand of god

Lambs worth of negating and breaking the seals

Wounds that once caused their death

Bursts of light flash forth

Crowns of gold melt into the eyes of kings

Echoes of time forgotten

The higher ground shakes with inevitability-inducing this fall

Collapsed, smoldering empires and dawns markings

The caress of seven angels

To be all and end all…

The burning of Babylon

Merchants weeping

Abominations of earth

Not a leaf rustles

Oceans as smooth as glass

Winds of the four corners silenced

Nature’s affectionate answer to our neglect

Blessings of power and riches revoked

Blood spills of every kindred and tongue

THunderous utterances.

The revelation

The sun smitten.

The moon and stars darkened

Locusts unleashed

Words that were not revealed

The burning of Babylon
