Forces they refuse to contemplate , gather round them like wraiths . The stolen treasure they conspire to conceal , scant hope their souls debased . ☆ See now the towering archangel , Michael , with his sword . Intent foul purpose now costly repaid , come the Day of the Lord . ☆ Across an expanse of night and fog , they wander now alone . And not before transgression reversed , will any be suffered come home .
