And kneeling upon the ground
I heard a voice like thunder
and the voice said unto me,
Come and see.
And lo! I beheld a Dragon
flying low above me.
And the wing of the Dragon
was a shroud, and the shroud
was the Holy Church of God.
About the hem of the shroud
were eyes, and the eyes
were the skulls of the fallen:
and this is the death of those
at the hands of the Church.
And at this I covered my eyes
for fear and shame took me:
but a voice commanded me,
Look.
And I saw the shadow
of the wing of the Dragon
sweep over the earth:
and faith died, and hope died,
for the name of the Dragon was Judgement.
