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