theatre des vampires - thule lyrics
(words taken from “dreamland”, by edgar allan poe, and last sentence taken from “dracula”, by bram stoker)
“by a route obscure and lonely,
haunted by ill angels only,
where an eidolon, named night,
on a black throne reigns upright,
i have reached this lands but newly
from an ultimate dim thule,
from a wild weired clime that lieth, sublime,
out of sp-ce, out of time.
by the dismal tarns and pools
where dwell the vampires,
by each spot the most unholy,
in each nook the most melancholy;
there the traveller meets aghast
sheeted memories of the past,
shrouded forms that start and sigh
as they p-ss the wanderer by.
by a route obscure and lonely,
haunted by ill angels only,
where an eidolon, named night,
on a black throne reigns upright,
i have wandered home but newly
from this ultimate dim thule.”
“for the dead travel fast.”
