(Author's note: In the rustic style of the villanelle.)
Let the banner of His greatness be unfurled.
Reveal the Truths to peoples of the land
And all shall walk in fear across the world.
Strike up the proud musicians in silver purled.
With crashing cymbals praise Him, and
Let the banner of His greatness be unfurled.
Armed in steel, Perdition notched and knurled,
His kingdom nigh as missionaries planned
And all shall walk in fear across the world.
Like the sanguine fog around the mountain swirled
Ere mortal sacrifice implored the LORD to stand,
Let the banner of His greatness be unfurled
From 'round the lance of Evil whence it curled.
Send forth the wolves among the bleating band
And all shall walk in fear across the world!
From Baelgrim, fateful proclamations hurled,
That dread atrocity shall overtake the land.
Let the banner of His greatness be unfurled
And all shall walk in fear across the world.
