From Book VI of John Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” in which God’s son transforms into an angry, vengeful warrior who’ll vanquish Satan and his fellow rebels.
lyrics
His fierce chariot
of torrent floods, numerous host,
gloomy night under his burning wheels.
His right hand
grasping ten thousand thunders,
sent over helmed heads as he rode.
His arrows
distinct with eyes from living wheels,
one spirit in them, shot forth fire.
His countenance
into terror changed.
And full of wrath
bent on his enemies.
His thunder
meant but root them down from heaven,
burnt after them to the bottomless pit.
His wild anarchy
so huge a rout,
fraught with fire, the house of woe and pain.
