Ruler [Blood Magic, Book 3]

Part Three: Ephraim

"On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man 

in a dusty black coat with a red right hand

He'll wrap you in his arms,

tell you that you've been a good boy

He'll rekindle all the dreams

it took you a lifetime to destroy

He'll reach deep into the hole,

heal your shrinking soul,

but there won't be a single thing

that you can do

He's a god, he's a man,

he's a ghost, he's a guru

They're whispering his name

through this disappearing land

But hidden in his coat is a red right hand."

- from "Red Right Hand" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
