At last, something constructive to do, Aidan thought.
Whence the Song of Steel
“I rise. I rise upon the dawning hope of Distalia,
I rise. I rise as all life rises, green and soft
I rise. I rise from roots that turn your dark decay
I rise, as all of life, I rise!”
Or didn’t you know?
The worm will also grow.
The worm that winnows flesh from bone.
Eternal, worm. Eternal worm!”
“How else could I get shut
They wouldn’t let me go
Death also rises,
“Yes, I’ve been waiting these centuries
The hand of a real warrior.
No more snake-oil stage shows.”
