lyrics

In my tortured ears, sounds a nightmarish flapping,
and whirring, a faint distant baying, I hear it
It's not a dream, I fear, it's not even madness
For too much has happened to lend any doubt

St. John is mangled; a corpse torn asunder;
and such is my knowledge, that I must relate

Terror in the darkness, the bringer of dread, these
Impossible nightmares are filling my head, in the
Night-black abysses of my vacant soul, lurks a
horror unheard of, shapeless and cold

Silent and ceaseless, the howl in the night, like some
eldritch phantasm, I'm frozen with fright, and I
beg for escape from the beast in the gloom, but I
feel evermore that it brings me my doom

The folly, foreboding, of my monstrous fate is
enough that I'm driven to blow out my brains
