lyrics

Without warning came those deep, cracked, raucous vocal sounds which will never leave the memory of the stricken group who heard them. Not from any human throat were they born, for the organs of man can yield no such acoustic perversions. Rather would one have said they came from the pit itself, had not their source been so unmistakably the altar-stone on the peak. So much of their ghastly, infra-bass timbre spoke to dim seats of consciousness and terror far subtler than the ear. Yet one must do so, since their form was indisputably though vaguely that of half-articulate words. They were loud—loud as the rumblings and the thunder above which they echoed—yet they did come from no visible being. A single lightning-bolt shot from the purple zenith to the altar-stone, and a great tidal wave of viewless force and indescribable stench swept down from the hill to all the countryside. Trees, grass, and underbrush were whipped into a fury. The lethal foetor seemed about to asphyxiate them. Dogs howled from the distance, green grass and foliage wilted to a curious, sickly yellow-grey, over field and forest where lie the bodies of the dead.

-Words are from H.P. Lovecraft's 'The Dunwich Horror', first published in 1929.
