Attack from on high Shrieking loud terror cry Glowing green insane eyes Claws dig their way in Blood runs from your skin Writhe now in torment Writhe now in torment Writhe now in torment Through haze and fog Flies on and on Never to stop He will never be done Never to stop He will never be done Throat torn out You cannot speak Wrapped inside It's giant wings The horror has No end it seems And time moves As if in a dream

Pharaohs ten curses will be Visited upon thee Torture pain and punishment The underworld your souls be sent Boils Bats Frogs Blood Number four to one Rats Hail Beasts Locust Our hatred now be focused First born sons Be taken from And darkness now In place of sun In 10,000 years May seem a myth Our god cannot Be reckoned with
5.
Silently, Silently Sleep the peaceful dead Mournfully, Sighingly Tears o'er them are shed Though the dust to dust returneth Yet their spirits now have gone To the god of love who giveth And their works do follow on Silently to rest we lay them Empty is their house of clay Unto god the soul returneth Silently to pass away

A heap, a mass, of flesh Once you were, once you were The blood within our breast Time, time, time, time Rots at everything The mighty fall, the weak succeed Honor is our defeat Honor is our defeat Who are and who are not Living forever and wanting to die Always why Always why The black, the cold, embrace the old Embrace the old Embrace the old The mind, the mind, the mind The reason you try The reason you don't Crush all in way in a sea of hate Wanting the end is the reason it won't Wanting the end is the reason it won't

"The Magus"

Francis Barrett, London 1801
