Penetrating Suffocating Punishing me
Punishing me
They, The primal reason The force ripping from the bottom Forcing two moments in time to become one Two moments passing through space in unison
For they are the sunken city of dreams An underwater friend For they are phantoms born of madman's delusions brought to life
Or maybe it was the other way around

And the flames of the tripods expired And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all
