Hideous distress, widespread and all-embracing

imagined in terrible phantasms of the night

mentioned in prophecies never enunciated

sense of monstrous guilt upon the land

Chill currents sweeping out of the abyss

demoniac alteration in the sequence of time

risen of the blackness of twenty seven centuries

shrieks horribly disturb the pale moon

Of crawling chaos

Peering from behind fallen monuments

the black dominion of the ancient dimensions

crumbling against a sickly sky.

beholding the key to blasphemous outer spheres

A sickened sensitive shadow of lust

writhing in hands that are not hands

whirled blindly past midnights of rotting creation

charnel winds that brush the pallid stars

Of crawling chaos

Monotonous whine of blasphemous flutes

from the unlighted chambers beyond space and time

absurdly the tenebrous gods appear

the blind, voiceless, mindless gargoyles whose soul is ...

The crawling chaos
