Within those walls are stores of untold wealth,

Secured by carnage and by midnight stealth;

Beneath each divan and each downy couch

The smouldering fires of retribution crouch.

Each glittering tankard and each costly plate

Reflects the fierceness of each pending fate.

The quenchless tortures of Jehovah's wrath

Is earthward tending in a destined path!

The brilliant sun of light, the mighty sire,

Seems bathed in blood and heaven's all afire.
