May The Thing Be Destroyed

"For when the mental faculty is joined

To evil will and power of execution,

Mankind has no defense to offer them."

- Dante Alighieri, Inferno from Canto 31



Dethroned shall I be;

with one spell erased

By my will, I will be undone

By thy will, I am no more

Now I descend upon this world

Blessed with the silence of all creation

VOCATVSATQUENON

VOCATVSDEUSADERIT



Within spirit and favor

A spell upon my lips

'May the thing be destroyed!'

I reign in an ancient land

Of grace, desert, and war

With the blood of the watchers

And the line of the holy ones



Shed blood! My sons, shed blood!
