Hymn at the World's Rim
Cantis Hath Sworn Reprigaste Sellname Surheath Vassim.
Fallen lights crowd the world's rim
You hear the sound of the World's final hymn
There is no here nor there
"The tumult has ended," lost Soldier, you swear
The heavens have fallen to smolder on earth
a blanket of white and mimicking mirth
Harantaris lingers in the vast and empty sky
Not a soul left to linger, save you Soldier, "Why?"
Fallen lights crowd the world's rim
You hear the sounds of the earth's final hymn
Are you, Soldier, lost as the lights slowly blank out?
And yet you still follow, your faith is devout
There is no here nor there
The heavens have fallen into strict disrepair
And where is the Soldier, have you lost your way?
When there, on the world's rim, there is no light that strays?
A Soldier walks in the empty
No purpose, no pain
Across the children, the fathers, the bones of the slain
You are the last light and alone left to hear
Until the sounds of the last hymn, and you too, disappear
