The Cantatas of Vivec
A book of gospels in the form of epic songs
- The gaunt ghostfires loom as subtle shrouds,
- Smokes and shades on the biers of Red Mountain.
- Arches and spires line the rock halls,
- Dimly lit by the spirits of the dead.
- The blood of broken hearths and houses
- Runs in red rivers, blossoms in fountains.
- Girdled round within walls of wit's glass
- The shattered hosts slumber in cradles of ash.
- But when shall they wake?
- What dark crucible may kindle their souls to light?
- How long beneath red-reeking clouds
- Must flickering watchfires burn?
- How many lifetimes of labor and lament
- Will it take to seal this restless tomb?
