Do You Know What's Wrong?

Now his souls an empty cup.
Like a vampire of the night,
Shies away from the daylight.
Does he know what's wrong?
So edward is eaten up,
By somethign so corrupt.
What is left?
A poisoned shell
And his own living hell.
Does he know what's wrong?
Oh Edward, you should've been
This castles king.
Now you're left in dungeons dim,
To mourn, mourn your sin.
Does he know what's wrong?
What is left is raw regret.
Like a man who's lost the bet.
Just a case of might have beens.
How you pay for your sin?
Do you know whats wrong?
So the thing under the doorstep
Is just your regret,
In your funeral shroud.
I will sing, sing it loud-
Do you know whats wrong?
And right?

The Mountaintops

On the tallest of earth's peaks, live the gods of whom I speak,

In the wastes where no-one treads, except those who are dead,

Climb the mountaintops and have no fear.

Barzai The Wise dreams, seeks god before he dies,

He believes it to be a lie, to see them means that you must die,

Climb the mountaintops and have no fear.

So he climbed to the peaks, to see the god whom he did seek,

Though all around they cried: "Barzai is sure to die",

Climb the mountaintops and have no fear.

So strong is his belief, or is it just deceit,

So onward he does climb, to god and the divine,

Climb the mountaintops and have no fear.

"Never was a sane man more dangerously close to the arcana of basic entity--never was an organic brain nearer to utter annihilation in the chaos that transcends form and force and symmetry. I learned whence Cthulhu first came, and why half the great temporary stars of history had flared forth... The secret behind the Magellanic Clouds and globular nebulae, and the black truth vieled by the immemorial allegory of Tao. The nature of the Doels was plainly revealed, and i was told the essence (though not the source) of the Hounds of Tindalos. The legend of Yig, Father of Serpents, remained figurative no longer, and I started with loathing when told of the monstrous nuclear chaos beyond angled space which the Necronomicon had mercifully cloaked under the name of Azathoth."

-- H. P. Lovecraft, "The Whisperer in Darkness"

R'lyeh

"The nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh that was built in measureless eons behind history by the vast, loathsome shapes that seeped down from the dark stars. There lay great Cthulhu and his hordes, hidden in green slimy vaults and sending out at last, after cycles incalculable, the thoughts that spread fear to the dreams of the sensitive and called imperiously to the faithful to come on a pilgrimage of liberation and restoration."

— H. P. Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

"He talked of his dreams in a strangely poetic fashion; making me see with terrible vividness the damp Cyclopean city of slimy green stone—whose geometry, he oddly said , was all wrong—
...abnormal, non-euclidean, and loathsomely redolent of spheres and dimensions apart from ours."
