Never shall innocent blood be shed, yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river. The Three shall spread their blackened wings and be the vengeful striking hammer of God.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker promises a selective violence: the innocent will never be harmed, while the guilty will die in great numbers, their blood flowing like a river. The Three are cast as dark-winged avengers, a hammer wielded on God's behalf. The declaration is grim, solemn and zealous, treating killing as sacred justice.
