Pause for half a second, start to look uneasy, grab your stomach, then start allowing blood-red foam to spill out of your mouth. Fall to the ground shaking and moaning.

When the blood-red sun had gone burning down, And the lights were lit in the little town, Outside, in the gloom of the twilight grey, The little dog died when he'd had his day.

For on this morn three potent nations meet, To shed before his shrine the blood he deems most sweet.
