(chorus)
I have seen the dark universe yawning
Where the black planets roll without aim
Where they roll in their horror unheeded
Without knowledge or lustre or name
Occult and forbidden lore
Amidst death and flame
Morbid instinct drew
Stupendous hoax destined
Monstrous, transfiguring fear
Old church steeple
Black windowless towers
Something too dangerous
The burrower beneath
The stairs in the crypt
In the vale of Pnath
The feaster from the stars
Loomed blackly against flaming sky
Obliquely seen grimy façade
Singular aura of desolation
Unreachable world of mists
Terrible lure, blackened fane
Subterrene gulf of cobwebs
Eldritch place, mountainous drifts
Clustered gothic columns
Curious luminosity scattered
Crux ansata of shadowy Egypt
Horror black, forbidden things
Equivocal secret, immemorial formulae
Monstrous figuring's, utterly alien kind
Black, red-striated polyhedron
Shimmering's of cold purple haze
Nighted depths under the sea
Glimpsed infinite gulf of darkness
Superimposed order on chaos
Gnawing, indeterminate panic, fear
Subtle phosphorescence of radioactivity
That monstrous thing of night
Black gulfs of chaos
Fashioned on dark Yugoth
Haunter of the dark
