earthquake rolls diction 'cross forgotten shore
heralding the first breaths of rising dawn
distal rays stretch spidery finger's yawn
slumbering titan awakens with secluded roar

creeping amaranth saturates the heaven's nebulous corps
corona's orb resplendent, a banner grandly drawn
driving 'way midnight's blanket, a nightmare's hapless pawn
vanquishing the darkness as some great hero swore

phospherous scythe cuts gallant path before the daybreak rite
celestial stratocracy trumpets war's anthemic grace
atmosphere distorted by the ever-prosperous glow

seraphs draw stained glass effigy t'wards once valiant knight
tainted armor charring as radiance lays dark mem'ry to waste
incandescent detonation ebbs way to solar flow
