perseus

not here not now the anger of the light
before this hour was never night or day
and now a man will the great dragon slay
declaring that in the moment his might
gave greater force to power too bright
to be comprehended in a normal way
and yet inside he feels fear and dismay
all power that came was slow and slight
never before had we been given hope
not for our kind assurance or support
the wall must go up just to keep us out
we stand here now on a gigantic slope
above we watch the happy lions sport
while below us there is revel and rout
