Under a pale moon, in a demon light

I saw the city for the first time

In ghastly marbles, towers and streets

I could understand a tongue unknown to me

So when I woke up I did not feel the same

Within my soul was growing something strange:

“Where is my place? It’s not a dream!

How can I prove that is reality?”

One night I realized to have a bodily form

Listening news about Inutos horde

Merciless creatures, squat and yellow fiends

Coming from west, they soon would be here

To the watchtower they sent me

Eyes of the army I was going to be

Then from a roof hole I saw its tempting light

Whispered evil, repeated in my mind

Shining through the night

Shining through the night… Deceiver

Creep inside my mind - Oh no!

Bearing some strange message that has been lost

"Slumber, watcher, till the spheres, Six and twenty thousand years

Have revolv'd, and I return - To the spot where now I burn.

Other stars anon shall rise - To the axis of the skies;

Stars that soothe and stars that bless - With a sweet forgetfulness:

Only when - my round is o'er - Shall the past - disturb thy door."

HOWARD PHILLIPS LOVECRAFT (1920-1937)

I struggled in vain against my sleep

While the Star was grinning at me

Around me I saw creatures from beyond

They laughed at me, the city would fall

Those shadows said: “It’s all in your mind

Where Polaris shines high there’s only snow and ice

No man can lives in that realm of cold

Except the squat and yellow ones, called Esquimaux”

Shining through the night

Shining through the night… Deceiver

Creep inside my mind - Oh no!

“Now they have arrived!”
