May the Thing be Destroyed

"For when the mental faculty is joined
To evil will and power of execution,
Mankind has no defense to offer them."
- Dante Alighieri, Inferno from Canto 31

Dethroned shall I be;
with one spell erased
By my will, I will be undone
By thy will, I am no more
Now I descend upon this world
Blessed with the silence of all creation
VOCATVSATQUENON
VOCATVSDEUSADERIT

Within spirit and favor
A spell upon my lips
'May the thing be destroyed!'
I reign in an ancient land
Of grace, desert, and war
With the blood of the watchers
And the line of the holy ones

Shed blood! My sons, shed blood!
