Conjugation
In sepulchral torchlit reverie
Thronged disciples intone
Under moonless black infinity
Maidens suffuse upon stone
Resonant tones pierce the air
Candelabras flicker dim
Enthralled attendants scarce aware
The imminent emergence of Him
Chants sink low, a hush befalls
His presence manifests magnificence
Maidens succumb to his enthrall
The herd falls to insignificance
The singular moment drawing nigh
The pact will be consummated
Maidens spread where they lie
Acquiescence is demonstrated
His seeds are sown, His will is done
All partake in the dark communion
New epochs dawn under blackend sun
Omnipresent revelational union
So it will be, and so it is said
The age that spans an eon
Hail the new world, the word is dead
Existence rendered chthonian
-- Edzard Ceadda Stanislaus III
