the great old ones - to a dreamer (bonus track) lyrics

Loading...

“i scan thy features, calm and white
beneath the single taper’s light;
thy dark-fring’d lids, behind whose screen
are eyes that view not earth’s demesne

and as i look, i fain would know
the paths whereon thy dream-steps go;
the spectral realms that thou canst see
with eyes veil’d from the world and me

for i have likewise gaz’d in sleep
on things my mem’ry scarce can keep
and from half-knowing long to spy
again the scenes before thine eye

i, too, have known the peaks of thok;
the vales of pnath, where dream-shapes flock;
the vaults of zin—and well i trow
why thou demand’st that taper’s glow

but what is this that subtly slips
over thy face and bearded lips?
what fear distracts thy mind and heart
that drops must from thy forehead start?

old visions wake—thine op’ning eyes
gleam black with clouds of other skies
and as from some demoniac sight
i flee into the haunted night.”
