The Quiet Death of Samuel Perkins Lyrics

Album: HVSK

The shattering visions of What lurks

in the angular corners of mansions olde,

have been witnessed.

The subharmonious echoes of What throbs

in the amorphous chasms of Beyond,

has been heard.

Θρήνος και Μνήμη

Κομψών Αίλουρων Τάξις

A dialect of motion (has been) developed

The unsuspecting Messenger's in spot

Selective Knowledge now bestowed

'twixt strokes of fur,

and stirs of backyard grass.

Θρήνος και Μνήμη

Κομψών Αίλουρων Τάξις

Awestruck in delirium,

of associated knowledge.

The unsuspecting Messenger, proceeds

in selective revelations

of blind abysmal anguish.

Mantled in fiction's garments,

the Death Howl of a past, inhumanly distant

is heard.

Θρήνος και Μνήμη

Κομψών Αίλουρων Τάξις

His mission complete

His secrets transcribed

His short lived Destiny fulfilled.

September claims this feline Spawn of Stars, now.

Not in struggle,

But in noble Silence.

Not in agony,

but under the sound of the Kynothrastian dirge.

Not in bewailing moans,

but 'midst aristocratic nods of respect:

Samuel Perkins now departs...
