Some terror in the swishing grass
Was added to the sound of the pounding sea
And I started up crying aloud and disjointedly -
"Tiger! Tiger!"
"Tiger! Tiger!"
"Tiger! Tiger!" ("Tiger. Tiger")
"Tiger! Tiger!"
Some terror drifted in betwixt the folding arms of cryptic night
Some terror scratched beneath the floorboards
Of that foetid rented room
Behold! Star-wind. Madness. Suffering. Great Old One
Some terror took me in its breast beneath the looming gibbous moon
Some terror led me to a blackness darker than the sea
(Now flee!) Star-wind. Madness. Suffering. Great Old One
"The end is near.
I hear a noise at the door
As if some immense slippery body lumbering against it
It shall not find me! That hand! The window!"
They are cutting a window
They are cutting a window
They are cutting a window

Black seas of infinity
Cruel is the universe
Tending to disarray
Blind is the universe
Ending in deeper sleep
