lyrics

Candle-lit shadows, flickering forms
Paint the walls in my manor forlorn
Psychedelic mushrooms taken with wine
Reading pulps by the fire reclined
Thunder strikes a distant chord
Wind whips the candelabra
In the dark his presence looms
Eldritch, perverse, macabre

A gaunt, pale form emerged
Mad with fright I laughed
Before me standing in spectral splendour
Was the spirit of Howard Lovecraft
Silently he judged me
As I sat aghast
Then he haunted my head with horrors
From starry aeons vast

After laying in a coma for days
I awakened from that feverish haze
Bloody, naked as the day I was born
My precious first editions scattered & torn
He is not dead who eternal Lies
