The Cave


(Translation)

The moon shines swollen of arrogance, the land is covered in withered branch and dead leaves, the sound of dark steps and those emitted by owls and crickets saturate the wind.

There's the cave from where frozen thoughts of the faceless emerge! There the tortuous prayers of the enraged omen arise, where disturbed rocks awake yelling.

That is the nameless to whom they elevate the rituals of dawn. They invoke him! They seek him out in the silent crepuscule!

They shriek! The walls rumble, the throat closes, the sepulcher of tears closes swallowing all, leaving only oblivion.
