...Lest I Should Perish with Travel, Effete and Weary, as My Knees Refuse to Bear Me Thither Lyrics


May you become a herdsman for one day-dawn and toss sweet symphonies into the void

from your beguiling shepherd's pipes you conjure up the all-pervading whisper

and save the shepherd of all and nought

may you bewitch the all-vanquisher's wits by the sovereign remedy of your guileful melody

pervading all and nought and the fabrics in between

the all-destroyer will grant you ample recompense

for your service two gifts: I will make you saviour of the world

and companion of her noisome dwellers

as obdurate as the devouring pit

the abyss consumes the great devourer

black gore drips from her horrid jaws

and shrieks imbue the void and chasms

may you fight in good steadfastness

in vain and fear usurps the heart

once overbrimming with boundless mirth

now faltering and absconding into the earth

the all-destroyer, the great consumer is I and raises her burning countenance through the cleaving ground

and ravels in flames of discontent

and fires belch from the yawning clefts

to be consumed

by sweet deicide

and be free and nothing and all at once
