Power of the Shadow
made
human flesh
wakened
to turmoil,
strife and ruin.
The Reborn One,
marked
and bleeding,
dances the sword
in dreams and mist,
chains the Shadowsworn to his will,
from the city,
lost and forsaken,
leads the spears to war once more,
breaks the spears and makes them see,
truth long hidden in the ancient dream.

Zeiftan zeltainu

Literal

 

Canonical English

With his coming are
the dread fires born again.
The hills
burn,
and the land turns sere.
The tides of men
run out,
and the hours dwindle.
The wall is pierced,
and the veil of parting raised.
Storms rumble
beyond the horizon,
and the fires of heaven purge
the earth.
There is no salvation without destruction,
no hope
this side of death.
