Days Of Iron

The holy mare
Cast out from heaven
Dying
The empty palace
The blackened streets
A dark age
From southern sea
And northern planes
Come raging hooves
Brutal strangers
New hierarchies
Iron
The old gods
Toiling in hell
Euhemerised
High priestesses
Misremembered
As demons
The sacred kings
Condemned twins
Screaming
Through cryptic myths
We half recall
A forgotten past
Days of iron
Born from collapse
Civilisation redirected

Hydronymy

I looked off across the plains
As clouds of dust obscured the sky
Voices rang out with threats of war
In the tongue that would be my children's
We turned towards our homes
As wolf men came riding beasts
Sky father brought thunder down
As the spirits of the seeds fell into earth
As our voices faded into time
The flowing waters bore our names
As our gods became demons
The flowing waters carried their seed
As our ancestors left our dreams
The flowing waters fed their graves
As we became strangers to ourselves
The flowing waters remained themselves
There is a map of another world
Beneath your feet and in your mouth
We can reconstruct a sacred landscape
Profaned by the march of time
You can make claims to your inheritance
But the names you use betray your cause
Remember you are one of many
And our society's foundations are still new
