And at the last from inner Egypt came
The strange dark One to whom the fellahs bowed;
Silent and lean and cryptically proud,
And wrapped in fabrics red as sunset flame.
Throngs pressed around, frantic for his commands,
But leaving, could not tell what they had heard;
While through the nations spread the awestruck word
That wild beasts followed him and licked his hands.
Soon from the sea a noxious birth began;
Forgotten lands with weedy spires of gold;
The ground was cleft, and mad auroras rolled
Down on the quaking citadels of man.
Then, crushing what he chanced to mould

The time would be easy to know,
for then mankind would have become
as the Great Old Ones;
free and wild and beyond good and evil,
with laws and morals thrown aside
and all men shouting and killing and revelling in joy.
Then the Old Ones
would teach them new ways to shout and kill
and revel and enjoy themselves,
and all the earth would flame...
and all the earth would flame
with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom.

Ever Their praises, and abundance to the Black Goat of the Woods. Aie! Shub-Niggurath! The Goat with a Thousand Young!
(A Buzzing Imitation of Human Speech)
Aie! Shub-Niggurath! The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young!

And it has come to pass that the Lord of the Woods, being... seven and nine, down the onyx steps . . .

(Buzzing Voice)
...go out among men and find the ways thereof, that He in the Gulf may know. To Nyarlathotep, Mighty Messenger, must all things be told. And He shall put on the semblance of men, the waxen mask and the robe that hides, and come down from the world of Seven Suns to mock...

(Speech Cut Off by End of Record)
There are mighty cities on Yuggoth
great tiers of terraced towers
built of black stone like the specimen
That came from Yuggoth.
The sun shines there
no brighter than a star,
but the beings need no light.
They have other subtler senses,
and put no windows in their great houses and temples.
Light even hurts and hampers and confuses them,
for it does not exist at all
in the black cosmos outside time and space.
The black rivers of pitch
that flow under those mysterious
cyclopean bridges
things built by some elder race
extinct and forgotten
before the beings came to Yuggoth
from the ultimate voids.
There are mighty cities on Yuggoth
great tiers of terraced towers
built of black stone
That came from Yuggoth.
The sun shines there
no brighter than a star,
They have other subtler senses,
and put no windows in their great houses and temples.
Light even hurts and hampers them,
for it does not exist at all
in the black cosmos outside time and space.

They talked to me last night
and told me things
that I dare not repeat to you.
I heard them above the dogs,
and once they were drowned out
a human voice helped them.
they want to take me off alive,
not only to Yuggoth,
but beyond that away
outside the galaxy
and beyond the last curved rim of space.

It was an All-in-One and One-in-All
of limitless being and self
—not merely a thing of one Space-Time continuum,
but allied to the ultimate animating essence of existence’s whole
unbounded sweep—the last, utter sweep
which has no confines and which outreaches fancy and mathematics alike.
It was perhaps that which certain secret cults of earth
have whispered of as YOG-SOTHOTH
and which has been a deity under other names;
that which the crustaceans of Yuggoth worship as the Beyond-One,
and which the vaporous brains of the spiral nebulae know by an untranslatable Sign...

This was truly a revelation. I was getting started with funeral doom, working on something with my headphones on... Then came Déluge... my jaw actually dropped, I stopped what I was doing and, wide-eyed, just listened to the track, baffled and amazed. After the album was over (I never do this), I went to lay down with my headphones to enjoy it over again. I rarely heard (and felt) this much power and emotion in an album. Until I find something better, this is my landmark for peak funeral doom.
