"THE DAMNING"

I SWEAR BY THE TRUTH I LET DOWN.

BY THE WINDS OF THE FOUR QUARTERS

AND THE ILLUSORY DEPTHS,

"I HAVE LOOKED WELL

INTO THE EYES

OF THE HIGHEST JUDGE.

AND WITH BUT A GLIMMER,(NO MALICE OR VILE GLEE),

WAS THE VERDICT CAST."

BY THE CURSED EARTH WHICH ONLY

COULD HOLD MY PRINT,I SWEAR.

AND BY DAEMONS OF FIRE FLAYED FLESH,

"I HAVE SEEN THE PUREST BEAUTY OF THE VIRGIN.

BLIND,DEAF AND DUMB.

SHE CAST A STONE INTO HER REFLECTING POOL

AND A WAVE CAME TO CRUSH ME."

"THE MOTHER OF ALL HATH HAD ME

CLOSE TO HER BOSOMS BOUNTY."

I SWEAR BY THE TAINTED TRILOGY,

"SHE CAST ME ADRIFT OF HER BROOD

WITH A WHIP OF COMPASSION."

"IN MY HEART I HAVE FOUND

THE SECRET SEATED SEED."

I SWEAR BY THE CACKLES

WHEREWITH I AM BEWITCHED.

BY THE TUMULTOUS CRACK

OF COSMIC EGG,IN THE SEA OF NETHER,

"THE GOLDEN CHILD DID SPRING AWAKE IN ME

AND RAN AWAY FOREVER."

I SWEAR BY THE LIE THAT STRENGTHENS.

BY THE PAIN OF MY NEWFOUND CLAN.

BY THE LOVE OF LONELINESS

AND THE INTERRUPTED GLOW OF THE SUN

"THE RUNES OF OLD HAVE CAST MY SENTENCE,

I AM DAMNED!"
