Around the reeling moon,
Draw your sword, the grey sword,
The sword of Fin, the fey sword,
Carved with a nameless rune.
On the dreaming world,
Break the shapes, the dread shapes,
The dragon-things, the red apes,
Out of the abyss hurled.
Fill the ancient skies,
Red queens and white kings,
Nameless forms and night things,
Men fools and wise.
