Listen to me said the Demon

As he placed his hand upon my head

I'm speaking of a dreary region

Of a land far away

By the border of a river

Without quiet without peace

The waters of this river cannot reach the sea

But they boil below the sun for eternity

For many miles on either side of the river's bed

A desert of water lilies is growing there

They sigh to one another in this solitude

And stretch to the sky their long necks

But there's a border to their realm

Here like the waves of the sea

The underwood is continually agitated

Even if no wind breathes from the sky

It was night and the rain was falling down

But once down it was blood

I was standing alone in the swamp

When through the mist the moon arose

A huge rock was in front of me

And above it there was someone

Majestic as a god afflicted as a man

His eyes were looking to the blazing sky

So I called the beasts from the slime

And they came howling to the moon

And the man trembled in solitude

But the night waned and he sat on the rock

Then I cursed the elements with fury

And a fearful storm burst in the sky

And the man trembled in solitude

But the night waned and he sat on the rock

With rage I cursed him with the silence

And every sound stopped being

He tried to listen but nothing there

And so scared he ran away from the land
