about

The bark & boast of The Bright Herald

“There has been a tendency in previous representations of the period to marginalize the role of the Bright Herald; he has been seen as little more than a glorified bandit king, “a baseborn rabble-rouser” and “Mongrel King” as he was portrayed in the rhetoric of his enemies, but more recent research suggests that the region truly was divided in three
between the claimants, and that in terms of military power we have no grounds to trivialize the role of any one of them.”

-Notes and Considerations on the Mythopoeic War of Hyperborean Succession. From The Journal of the Royal Antihistorical Society

lyrics

Hark! the bark of a starved dog
come to unveil and overturn
a set of rotten pack dynamics
all agog to tear at the throat
of limp and vapid sentimentality
masquerading as fraternity…
ah, brotherhood!
oh for it to be stripped clean
of all the mucus of the ages
and revealed as the recognition
of things shared and not-shared
pure and simple

“you mangy mongrel you!”
I hear your tongues lash
but I assure you, old alpha-mutts,
I know the worth of cleanliness
as well as any proper midwife would!
for I am a hound of hell in labour
about to give birth to myself
let no shadow of doubt be cast
upon my virility on that account
since as all men know
war is the world’s only hygiene
and though far be it from me
that I should ever deny
how far we have traversed
on ancient shoulders,
to-day I have been called to come forth
as a killer of giants
wielding a great hammer of war
to smash feet of clay
and a dagger of vengeance
to pierce towering torsos bloated with bile

I can almost smell the stench of offal already
and hear the vibrant hum of a newborn star
such music… like nothing on this globe of dirt
listen, listen to it you ruin-dweller, you licker of dust
the sigil of your solar dynasty does not sing
it is a corpse-star, a bone-wheel encrusted within the earth
and you, creed-weaver and dogma-monger
the pallid drone from your lunar palace is perilous to hear
for yours is a sickly moon-vessel
only fit to withstand our sanguine radiance
– that one thing shared –
by means of its dilution

so may all seals burst and all knots open,
the world be awash with seas of blood
and the heavens stand witness
to whose royal fleet it is
that scuds forth on crimson waves
and whose is the fate of fearful coast-creepers
and accursed anchor-worshippers!
