The Eschaton Proverb

As darkness falls across the land

It rises from beneath the sand

As ghosts of fallen sinners weep

Awakened from eternal sleep

It calls its’ children further still

So sickeningly high and shrill

Its’ shriek is heard around the sphere

The Ancient Beasts all shed a tear

The Gods are powerless and weak

Its’ form, but a vermillion streak

Creation cannot hope for best

Unless the Archaics are stirred from rest

The Grand White Stag shall be the key

To unlock our great destiny

Hellfire shall rage across the land

As demons and daemons dance hand in hand

The chasm burning fervid, hot

Of how to defeat it, all know naught

None but gods hurtle through Outspace

Collapsing, be the desert’s face

Eschaton grows ever near

The great war for which all men fear

Kali gives out an furious sigh

And Onuphrius opens his one great eye

Purpose

To warn of the coming of Eschaton and the awakening of The Eternal Serpent.
