Theriak - Baal - Theriak - The Ruins Of Beverast

And then he fell, and darkness crept across his eyes

And atrocious arch pounced into his mouth, and all through ran the brazen lance

Deep inside beyond the brain, splitting the white bones

Expelled were the teeth, both eyes filled with blood

Spouted wide out of mouth and nostrils, and death’s black fume surrounded him

As if rabid wolves lunge at lambs and goats, and wrest them away from the flock

That is scattered in the mountains due to the shepherd’s ignorance

Those, beholding these, immediately mob them and lacerate them

These timorous beings

Thus lunged Theriak at Baal
