Swords are sharp
Fires blaze
Eternity passes
Within a haze
A mist of death
Smoke
Dirt
Sweat
Eternity Passes–
Seas rumble,
Earth shakes
I feel it tremble
Beneath my wake
A wave of destruction
A wave of death
I bring an end
I bring a debt
Eternity passes
All of you by
Killing masses
You live to die
I am what you seek
My fire
My spears
Are what you need
Love is lost
Swallowed whole
Nothing left but your role
Your role in me
Your fading soul
Spread me far–
Their ride
Will come
It will come
With Dawn
The Dawn of Hate
The Dawn of War
Eternity’s end
I cannot bend
The rules set down
A town of life
A people’s town
Names
Names given
Death
Destruction
Hate
My children
We of this town are only the means
You are the extremes
The extremes that make us true
That make all new
That fight
That die
That ever lie
A slice
One single
That’s all it takes
Just one slice
Just one blade
And I am made
Ares Lord of War
Let me be
Let Gaia be
As she was made
Alone
Content
Peaceful
Don’t let me in

Konrad Bennett Hughes, aka Kaptain Viciorious Time Traveling Space Pirate Extraordinaire, welcomes all adventurers to read snippets from the grimoire of a Viking skald lost in a terrible modern century. “I write to allow all of you to see the wonders which continually relate themselves through telekinetic portals from dimensions unsounded.” Unbounded by time and space, Kaptain Viciorious’ Grimoire is first in interdimensional travel, dead last in customer service. “Read on fellow travelers, read on.”
