From the vision of a great hammer, a
voice spoke to me. In a thunderous roar,
it told me of our creation, the time of the
usurpers and of the first death, our test
of steel anf might; saying in the time
that is now henceforth called the
resurrection, in this the forth year, a
forth circle would appea, alongside
four who ride at the head of an army
called immortals. Together, for
ever, they would stand against the
multitudes. And as the sky turned black,
I felt the ground shake. And the voice
said on this very dayunto our hands
would passthis hammer; a sign of our
disbelievers to see and to know that for
us it is the end of the beginning and for
them it is the beginning of the end . . .

DEATH TO FALSE METAL
BY THE SIGN OF THE HAMMER

May the gods accept this offering in the
name of Jay Bergen and let his laughter
be heard last.
