IRON AGE

Phoenix rises

Cobbled together

By a compendium of pyrites

 

Forged to link all destinies

Shaped to gird our worlds

And outreach Babylonia

 

Igneous intrusion

Metamorphic rock

Freed from your sedimentary bed

 

White heat in the crucible

Running now

Red ingots of desire

Ladled to all requirements

 

Manacled by steel

This shining age

Rusts towards a new millennium
