The Fathom Throne

 

"Twixt crown of fire, crown of sea—

far fallen round the ocean’s bones—

to bring Amaura to her knees,

ascendeth now the Fathom Throne

 

of Bleak where Black, the Stag, the Spire

shall gather on the Brazen Shore,

mount Burning Isle upon its Pyre—

Drown ash in water, evermore.

 

So beware the brewing of the bloods

Mark well the rising tides

Guard yourself from shadow virtues

Beware the scorching ides

 

For none on earth or sea below

Shall escape the judgment of the Fathom Throne"
