Have you seen the might of cities fallen after night

Or witnessed the burning of Troy in a pregnancy? 

I do not live long enough to tell every kind 

Of tale there is to tell, so I advise you listen

With your eyes and see with your ears, there is never time

To tell you about the armies of Kexlithilu 

His name cannot be pronounced by mortal men alone 

Perhaps it takes a chorus of stone to vibrate his-  

Oh, no, the beasts of Smaragdine do boast and brag 

Of their sheep stuck in their machines, how they do so crack!

The bones make a snack,

Your ancient lighthouse 

Will illuminate 

These waters for long

Kexlithilu, strong.
