Enantiodromia

I have come to bring death, terror, and destruction
Yes, the arkhè of this world is fire
But for all the smoke that rises
Something must also come down!

Should their scales be gripped
Should they sneer at the dance around balance
The sentencing from the stars will scream:
Death, silence, and oblivion!
Death, silence, and oblivion!
Death, silence

The wise claim there are, in truth
Many different firеs burning with different smoke
Most of thеm vain and very few divine

I have come to bring death and destruction
For the arkhè of this world truly is fire!
And for all the smoke you see rising
Something will come down on you
Blazing and burning shall it come for you

Smitten sore with wretched wrath
Under the light of burning stars
Three hundred gods say murder all!

Behold the arch-fire, ignited by entire swarms of locusts!
Tentacles of war and fire
Just as war is thrice holy
Behold and beware as we join the dance

Light turns into darkness, lively noise yields to silence
And heat surrenders to the cold
All that was dry has now become drenched in liquid

A cosmos within the cosmos
It is mankind, the gods
And all the devils of creation at once
And something else – something new
It’s a power beyond you
Untamed, and growing exponentially
I have come to bring death, and destruction!
I have come to bring death, silence, and oblivion!

You will be made to remember the time when mountains were your cathedrals…
You will be made to remember the time when the ocean was your womb…
You will be made to remember the time when fertile soil was holy ground…

No matter how high a tower you build from the skulls of fallen foes
No matter the multitudes of cities reduced to rubble
The child of Man has already been awakened and fed
The child of Man has already been unleashed…

And He has come to bring vile death!
And He has come to bring ruin!
And He has come to bring silence!
And He has come to bring an end!
And He has come to bring new life!
And He has come to bring pure light!
And He has come to bring concord!
And He has come to bring order!
