The Valley of Madness
In the valleys of eternal madness
lurks the maleforic horrors of the midnight galley
It's shadows of death it stalks upon the prey
the sap of the tree of life that it may live again
under sunless skies at the rising of the sunless stars
reaching out to grasp the powers of spatial infinity
Birth forth now from a cosmic womb of insanity
born in the misery of the suffering of great calamity
nailed upon the cross of blasphemy
where that which is dead lives on
thirst forever for a drop of water to drink
parched forever in the deserted soul drained
a palace of misfortune in a temple of gloomy twilight
and the death of the dying lay still forever more.
In the dark recess of ancient tombs
sunken beneath seas on solar moons
floating in the atmospheres of acidic gas
burning the flesh from the baneful mask
peel away the flesh of all my pain
and make me naked and whole again
A mask of pain
the delusion of immortal life
drains from the living the happiness
and robs the cradle of it's sleep
there is no more dying amongst the dead
and how then shall we be born again?
Beneath the ground
sunken down
burning forever
lusting for that which
could never be
In the Valley of Madness
I live forever
Always dead
Thirst for water
To drink from the wells
of what will never be
lurks the maleforic horrors of the midnight galley
It's shadows of death it stalks upon the prey
the sap of the tree of life that it may live again
under sunless skies at the rising of the sunless stars
reaching out to grasp the powers of spatial infinity
Birth forth now from a cosmic womb of insanity
born in the misery of the suffering of great calamity
nailed upon the cross of blasphemy
where that which is dead lives on
thirst forever for a drop of water to drink
parched forever in the deserted soul drained
a palace of misfortune in a temple of gloomy twilight
and the death of the dying lay still forever more.
In the dark recess of ancient tombs
sunken beneath seas on solar moons
floating in the atmospheres of acidic gas
burning the flesh from the baneful mask
peel away the flesh of all my pain

A mask of pain

drains from the living the happiness
and robs the cradle of it's sleep
there is no more dying amongst the dead
and how then shall we be born again?
Beneath the ground
sunken down
burning forever
lusting for that which
could never be
In the Valley of Madness
I live forever
Always dead
Thirst for water
To drink from the wells
of what will never be
