Alhazred

Pain is greater teacher of men
Than delights and peaceful life
Call to the wind, to the heralds of despair
To bring you truth, and solemn end.

I have suffered the fate of rejection
Endured in torment and starvation
I know the Old Ones and their dark ways
My verses burn with revelations.

I have walked the endless sands
In the presence of the Crawling Chaos
And I have lost all I had in this life
The ghouls and vultures bare the witness.

Soul torn apart by primal fears
Is the key to the path of the sages
One must learn the lessons well
The mad infinity is waiting always.

I have ventured beyond the dreams
And I have tasted things forbidden
I have heard a thousand souls cry out
In the wings of flies upon the carrion.

The destiny has many ways to hurt
And plenty still to grant rewards
And who can tell what is to come
Strange eons passing to oblivion…

Don't close your eyes at night
Let fear and madness guide you
Embrace the truth of solitude
Devour everything…
