2 - AFTERMATH

Benthic temple as black as night
Old as the ocean depths themselves
Girt by sentinel, Nearly as ancient
Proof to all but the most violent shockwaves

Custodians disarmed
Temple seal violated
Architeuthis unbound by time
Cyclopean entity

Anathema to mortal sentience and its puerile perceptions of space. 
Antediluvian slumber, unbroken for eons, 
Through the births of lesser races, to their throes.

Awoken, Roused by fumes of slaughter
Oozing through the fractured temple altar
Through riven, once monolithic seal
A self-fulfilling prophecy is birthed

Acres of iron-flesh, wrenching matter beyond 
Leagues of tendril flailing, in blind vehemence 
A roaring collapse of the threshold twixt worlds masked by cacophony, of endless gnashing.  


3 - REBUILDING

Inumerable life-forms, Drawn from the wreckage
Gathered in melancholy, grieving in unison
Arisien in vast pilgrimage, tempered in wrath
Bonds forged in anger, Traverse the crust

Listen to the call
The clarion call
Form in the shade of the wreckage
Flock to the banner of vengeance 

The denizens of the depths
Preparing to besiege 
The machinists of the land
And bring them to their knees

Monodon, Scombridae, Riftia

Inumerable life-forms
Drawn from the wreckage
Form to the banner of vengeance
Gathered in melancholy
Grieving in unison
Form to the banner of vengeance

Listen to the call
The clarion call
Form in the shade of the wreckage
Flock to the banner of vengeance 

Neath basalt kraken sigil
A covenent is entered
An autocracy is birthed 
Upon the ocean floor

And eclipsed by a war-like god.
