Haunter of the Dark

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
