Ride of the Daystar: Har - Magedon

A great tumult has occurred in the sea agitated waves tussle and brawl in the sea A sea, whose waters are parted, parted by a swarming multitude of beasts, and one Great Beast Beast, I advise you, there is a King, a Star in the Day riding upon a white horse, Eminent and August August and Purposed was His way sword in hand, fetters in one One, without uncertainly, He rode toward the sea and with certainty His strike was dealt Dealt, the waters were parted by means of one blow all the beasts were smite Smitten, all but one, the Lord of the beasts the Daystar turned his strength to the Great Beast The Beast, skilled and adept, was struck with one articulation not with a song of death as its intent, but a rebuking Rebuked, so it might not agitate the waters fettered, so it could not provoke the sea See now, the waters were parted the bodies of which were two Two parts, divided by the Daystar’s blow one to the south and toward the north was one One, agitated, heavy with salt, and broad as elapsed dreams the North, tranquil and fresh. just adequate to chalice in the palms Palms firm, the King turned His day heat to the south and the waters evaporated, so that only pillars of salt remained Remaining, the Daystar blessed his radiance on the North with palms the King cupped the unsullied waters Waters in hand He tossed them into the desiccated earth and the waters revitalized the salted land in support of the King And the King continued to shed light on the waters for a thousand years for a millennium, the earth blossomed. Blossomed for a time, a time, times five hundred times after which, the fetters would be loosed
