Irascor

Cinder, salt, and sulfur The offering aflame Curling toward the heavens The smoke whispers a name The ground before you trembles Shadows clutch and leer Your lips repeat enchantments 'til moon drenched, it appears! "Blood of the Earth, Light of the Moon, Bend to me now, Spirit and Rune!" Through the mist it rises A black and writhing storm Irascor, it towers Fury given form As you shudder, fearful Now you see its face The demon wears your visage Contorted in disgrace You know you mustn't falter There's work that must be done Confront your undue anger The trial now begun "Child, why dost thou seek me? It leads only to strife I am thy deepest loathing Hatred's blood-drenched knife Lives I tear asunder Ruin in my wake The cycle ever-fueling A hunger never slaked" Demon! I've come to vanquish, extinguish, slay Tired Of endless ire, for respite I pray Demon! Leave me in peace, I want to feel whole Longing To finally gain some control Deep breath in Do not fear Quench this fire Quell this hate Open your clenched fists Reach out not with rage Expel pain to mist Let go, release release release release your wrath "Foolish art thou mortal! Choler is no sin Though thy calm reduced me I'll seep back through thy skin For passion is a tool A spiked and fierce defense It flares when thou fall'st victim To injustices immense I shall reside within thee And together we – We shall persevere" (Ire non est malum) Together we strive to Make a better Earth As above, the cosmic, Shines in glor'us light so to We shall blaze eternal, dauntless, Darkness burning, kept at bay Not a violence but a strength To hold a place where hate can't grow Anger is magik, a circle we drew "Blood of the Earth, Light of the Moon Bend to me now, Spirit and Rune!"
