I had a slightly different take on things:

[From: Into the Blessed Lands]:
"My brethren were gifted with a vision, a terrible one which showed unto us the image of the God-Emperor, who would stride out from the Hidden Lands and be welcomed as Liberator only to take the Holiest of Holies by shedding the blood of the most innocent.
"The very mention of his name shall make kings tremble, stop the heart of an Emperor and cause that which was endless to end. In his wake an entire people shall be liberated, their curse lifted but at the cost of their brother; while another is damned forever more in the eyes of all.
"And about his head floated twelve keys that shall unlock that which it most craves.
"But beware – though called savior by many and his followers legion, his true name is the Destroyer! The Enslaver of Humanity! None may stay his hand but the ember that is bereft of fire and even then it may not be enough, for when faith fails in one, faith will fail in us all!
The frequent references to Emperor do make it easy to think about Calemnon, but the last sentence makes me think of the True Dragon and the events leading up to this year's BI.

[The Vault of Larissa]
“Out of the west, thousands of pounding feet
Rush towards our beloved city
They shall first be saviors, then conquerors
He shall wear the crown of many kings
And Emperors will fall dead before him
The last was first and lost to us before she was found
Only the invisible knew her name
Until the god emperor stood on this ground.”
Again, sounds like the events leading up to the BI. 'Thousands of pounding feet' could refer to the Tultipetans who converted to the worship, or possibly the army that invaded.

One million grains of sand can blot out the sun. The cat plays with the bird until it is ready to pounce. One thousand years is not forever. When the sword sows only bones, the scythe reaps only blood. One whisper in the silence can shake the pillars of heaven.
The Hegemony rises upon the coils of its ally. Woe to the powerful who scorned the least of the thirteen. Their secret shall tear the falcon in twain.
The child finally meets the Father. In blood it was begun and in blood it will end. Some will drink deeply, others will bathe in it.
Within their metal hives they ride upon the minds and eat of their sentiments. Man is cattle to Man. The wheel turns, as the beaten child becomes the beating parent.
Proclamation. Devastation. Prostration. Those who hold back the night fall. Shall any light be rekindled or shall the dead lie quiet within Neroth’s embrace?
The Standard lost, the army is demoralized. Loss begets loss as the City of Delights falls. [The Standard Lost probably refers to events in the rebellion/liberation of Abesios ... but Savona never fell]
Lots of stuff going on here, I agree that they are likely talking about separate incidents. Reference to 'the coils of its ally' makes me think of the True Dragons, and were there not thirteen of them? I'm curious about the 'metal hives', guessing that it could be talking about the VO...but hard to say.
