Ten daggers Put one of them on the summit of the Olympus The holy gods feared and disappeared Pierced one in the long and narrow island on the margin of the Pacific Ocean It arrogated the grace of the sun Killing and looting in the name of its glory One was stabbed into the heart of the main land Black blood erupted and flew breeding dizzy modern civilization One flied into the vast heaven My footsteps clopping heavily Make the moon and stars trembling all day and night Two were inserted to the north and south frozen pole The bears and emperor penguins drifted all around with no home The other daggers were used to cut the river of history Smash the memories into tiny pieces Forget all the evil things I have done

There are some nice phrases here like "black blood", "breeding dizzy", and "emperor penguins". I like these both for their sound and their sense. Best wishes!
