The Summoning Call
At night when all was still, it called
With promises of unknown lands
I heard a tune and was enthralled
By words no human mind withstands

Through the night to darker skies

Out in the vast and unknowable nothingness
Under the gleam of unknown constellations
Rules of reality wielded no power and
Bodiless worshippers sang adorations

Then as the vista was opened before me
I stood in awe of his sickly creations

And then I saw it all commence
An orrery of thrashing forms
A scene of worship without sense
Like furious and living storms

At night when all was still, it called
From dreams of blood and unknown lands
I heard a tune and was enthralled
By words no human understands
Dread filled my mind to its brim as he conjured those
Horrors to life with his versification
I was a mortal, unraveling witness to
Mystical rites of a grand coronation

For I have seen how all will end

An unknown moon shed ashen light
Upon the vision I was shown
I crumbled at the monstrous sight
And wished it had remained unknown

When nightmares wake and they have crossed
In endless numbers to extend
His kingdom here, then we are lost
I fear the things my dreams portend
