I've also set the "Victory" melody to words - again, I hope Mike doesn't mind. It's called "Hymn to Kalki", Kalki being the tenth avatar of Vishnu (incarnating this time and for ever together with Shiva). The background detail is filled in by means of other poems in my forthcoming collection, notably the poem "The Two Travellers". The final stanza is the bridge following the second occurrence of the "Victory" melody.
Hymn to Kalki
Vishnu, Great Kalki, we praise you as the Watcher and Tower
And we worship you today, Lord.
Spirit and Christ, Great Kalki, we hail you as one born of the Ocean
And we worship you our way, Lord:
Your infinite time-line, crafted by Kalra, and your three-circled crown, your journey from the stars.
Shiva, Great Kalki, we praise you for your love and your power
And we worship you today, Lord.
Spirit and Christ, Great Kalki, we hail you as the 8 that was broken
And we worship you our way, Lord:
Your noumenal being, monad of the dawn, and the eight billion years, your testament for all.
Brahma, Great Kalki, we praise you for your fourfold division
And we worship you today, Lord.
Father and Son, Great Kalki, we hail you as the 5 that was bonded
And we worship you our way, Lord:
Your wahltriab blue eyes, vanquishing our souls, and your peacock allure, the light of ancient shoals.
Woven with signs
And a sphere made out of time
Received from a people
Countless years ago.
Amethyst Lord!
What a great gift that Kaldog
Enabled to save us
Emerald Kalki!
