…To save our souls from the Father of the Moon.
It will come to pass that what men have done will be undone, and what men have made will be unmade. The Lord of Dusk will walk upon the green land, and set the world rife with grief and madness. From the ocean he did come, to the ocean he will return and from the ocean he will come again with storms at his back. His feet shall break the earth, his fists shake mountains, his voice turn forest to ash.
And the peoples will cry out the heavens, and their tears shall birth a salvation. And through the clouds a light shall shine, even as darkness covers the world.
And it will come to pass that a saviour shall be born unto us, and by his grace shall he break our chains. The Father of the Sun shall burn a path through the shadow, and he shall bleed a river of blood.
A dark road diverges to the ocean.
A river of blood marks the father's path.
A guide awakens and the horn rings true.
