External Extinction

External Extinction

Lammashta - the sword that splits the flesh

Ishtar - concelebration of sin and wrath

I was awakened by the howl of a dog

I could not move or speak for the fear

That seized upon my spine

And wrapped cold fingers around my skull

Maskim Xul - the sight of whom causeth dismay

Rabishu - unholy mystery drove me insane

I have experienced the birth of untruth

Oh, pray for protection against the outside

I have deciphered the unholy texts

I have possessed the three seals of Masshu

I witnessed the horror that struck

Of which words cannot speak

And of which writing can only confuse

I found the fear of the deceased

And you are the slave of an external extinction

The zones of the Gods and the places of the Azonei

I reached through the gate of Ganzir, gate of lost

Death of a most uncommon nature I have seen

In the time of the war between the worlds

I was awakened by the howl of a dog

I could not move or speak for the fear

That seized upon my spine

And wrapped cold fingers around my skull
