GRGR(16): a thing so awesome Even Dzambul could not sing it

[Lorentzen / Nicklaus]

  Well, this was more for sound & atmosphere, but since you asked:

  "Terribly red is now the hour. Enflamed by wrath 
   Panthers threaten. Sparkling by cruelity. Enraged!
   This one stays: a boy rides him and tells about
   The beautiful wonder's mad jubilation in the night".

                                                                       KFL
