Ocean of the Past

One day, all living things might fill
     The ocean of the past
And every ship, against our will, 
     Could bear a broken mast. 

That day, when no one’s left to know
     Of Satan and of God,
Our giant star shall burst and sow
     A diadem of blood. 

The relics of our ancient world
     Shall sleep in ageless ice,
Or else burn bright as they are hurled
     To seal our sacrifice.
