Ruler of twelve and sky,
his followers constructed a tribute.
Applauses praised louder than thunder,
and gold as bright as lightning.

Invaders of the West and Corinth,
sought out to conquer.
Battles fought louder than thunder,
and courage as bright as lightning.

Conquers of the West and Corinth,
stripped the tribute of its’ wealth .
Cries whaled louder than thunder,
and fire as bright as lightning.

Emperor of Greece and religion,
overthrew paganism.
Frustration of followers louder than thunder,
and confusion as bright as lightning.

Ruler of no one, not even the sky,
his followers no longer offer gifts.
Falling of a god louder than thunder,
and the crash as bright as lightning.
