Cosmic Tomb

My eyes are open to this squirming flesh
A mass of mouths and tentacles to make the mind collapse
Dwelling beyond the realms of human comprehension
Hidden amongst the stars until their intervention

Stand in these otherworldly luminous gardens
Sanity slips away within their presence
Under the paling light of the weakling moon
Drown in the hopelessness of this cosmic tomb

Nightly excursions through this deathlike dream
The sheer magnitude from the heavens to the deep
Held in this worthless shell with this fragile mind
Struck dumb by ignorance of this space and time

Celestial court of the divinely mad
Outside the ordered universe – indifferent to man
The Daemon Sultan slumbers, lulled by the thin piping flute
In this conical temple – awaking doom

Pale the blood within these veins

Beneath this otherworldly decaying moon
Drown in the hopelessness of this cosmic tomb
