As the light bearer stood, before the gates of the north An ebony ship, arrived at the shore A thousand pale men, with banners of light Looked at each other, and roared in delight They greeted themselves, and their glorious lives They had been to the realms, where the angels decline A palace of mercury, of blood and of clay A palace of Worms and of moral decay They had seen the great god, a pitiful man They had taken his life, as another god can What man has created, man may destroy Let's feast on his corpse, and reinstate joy
