Empire - ZaunköniG - 21.04.2012 Empire Ours is Her life at will to make or mar. Be greed our goddess, with her tinsel show, And self our wanton, straight we sink below The nether realm where din and darkness jar: But if we serve the Race and gaze afar To yonder heights lit with the future's glow And point Her thither, straight Her face will grow Shining and brave as is the Morning Star. Well for us, certes, if we crown Her queen And lady of our lives, and serve Her true With passionate faith and love and loyal trust; But if we turn Her life to tasks obscene Straight shall She grow as loathly to the view As harlot serving any lecher's lust. |
