Mizar and Alcor

The frequent phenomenon of this empty place,

Gathering energy it cannot replace,

Submerged in darkness, foreshadowing night,

Paroxysm shook, stirring up light,

 

Out from the chaos four beings stood,

Together infused, singular brotherhood,

Light blends them all mistaken into one,

Thirty-five times stronger, than the power of our sun,

 

Welcome to the dream; a death omen quartet,

Witness the rider, perceive his regret,

With a single companion, and a crown forged in death,

Perpetually doomed to a violent last breath,

 

Pioneering our concept of constellations,

Bent at the handle, insidious oscillations,

Corruption was constant, like a plagued medallion,

When he collared his confederate, a maniacal stallion,

 

Couriers of desecration, colonial devastation,

Oxidizing nations, burning depredation,

Lord and auxiliary, imperial arrogation,

And with a single voice, they declared themselves king,

 

Welcome to the dream; a death omen quartet,

Witness the rider, perceive his regret,

With a single companion, and a crown forged in death,

Perpetually doomed to a violent last breath.
