The Cloud

Unknown to man at the pole there's a long-hidden pool:
Feared by the ancients its secret entices the fool.
Radiant fire that will burn with invisible flame;
Unworldly colours, as no hue that appears is the same.

Sacred the profit that the warlock did seek in his greed—
A craving so potent as to burn stone and make fossils bleed.
Poisons the waters in his effort to make deserts bloom,
That gleam in his eyes is the spell of disasters that loom.

Slow-spreading southward, the purple-ish cloud,
Beyond the horizon it thunders unloud.
Naught to be seen in disease-reeking gloom
As man does approach his Sarnathian doom.

Hidden from knowledge: the kernel, the canine-like beast
A howl in the desert, a bushfire, and cultists do feast.
The outsider-spirit, the herold of mad Azathoth—
Darkhaunting unmist that sold you what knowledge you've got.

Slow-spreading southward, the purple-ish cloud,
Beyond the horizon it thunders unloud.
Naught to be seen in disease-reeking gloom
As man does approach his Sarnathian doom.

Particles spreading the cat-poison of their decay,
Nourishes deathclouds with pow'r so devour they may.
Sooner or later the child his undoing will find—
Sooner than later; the one-eyed keeps leading the blind.

Counter the clockwise, a mist-boiling cloud;
The pale, tattered King dons his yellowish shroud.
Struck by a corpse-reeking shattering blow—
Miasma that cleanses so silently slow.

Spreading southward, the purple-ish cloud,
Beyond the horizon it thunders unloud.
Naught to be seen in disease-reeking gloom
As man does approach his Sarnathian doom

Perfect albums don't have to be long, but the music has to hit the heart and the nerve. This is one of them. After I liked the digital album I ordered one of the last CDs. It arrived today. The CD has a special velvety feel. And an autograph card to go with it. Thank you Mariusz! I hope to see you live one day. Keep up the good work! ConcertJunkie
