Cities Were Consumed
02:59
|

|
I had a dream which was not all a dream
Bright sun was extinguished and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space
Rayless and pathless, and the icy earth
Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air
Morn came and went and came and brought no day
And men forgot their passions in the dread of this their desolation
And all hearts were chilled into a selfish prayer for light
And they did live by watchfires, and the thrones
The palaces of crowned kings, the huts
The habitations of all things which dwell
Were burnt for beacons, cities were consumed
And men were gathered round their blazing homes to look once more
Into each other's face, happy were those who dwelt
Within the eye of the volcanos and their mountain-torch
A fearful hope was all the world contained

A fearful hope was all the world contained
Forests were set on fire but hour by hour
They fell and faded and the crackling trunks
Extinguished with a crash and all was black
The brows of men by the despairing light
Wore an unearthly aspect, as by fits
The flashes
The flashes
The flashes
The flashes fell upon them

The Pall of a Past World
04:48
|
|||
|
Some lay down and hid their eyes and wept
And some did rest their chins upon their clenched hands and smiled
And others hurried to and fro, and fed
Their funeral piles with fuel
And look'd up with mad disquietude on the dull sky
The pall of a past world
The pall of a past world
The pall of a past world
The pall of a past world
And then again with curses cast them down upon the dust
And gnashed their teeth and howled
The wild birds shrieked and terrified did flutter on the ground
And flap their useless wings
The wildest brutes came tame and tremulous
And vipers crawled and twined themselves among the multitude
Hissing but stingless
they were slain for food
they were slain for food
they were slain for food
they were slain for food

No Love Was Left
03:02
|
|||
|
And War which for a moment was no more
Did glut himself again
A meal was bought with blood
And each sate sullenly apart
Gorging himself in gloom
No love was left
And each sate sullenly apart
Gorging himself in gloom
No love was left

Immediate And Inglorious

All earth was but one thought
And that was death
Immediate and inglorious

The Pang of Famine
02:45
|
|||
|
And the pang of famine fed upon all entrails
Men died, and their bones were tombless as their flesh
The meagre by the meagre were devoured
Even dogs assailed their masters, all save one
And he was faithful to a corse
And kept the birds and beasts and famished men at bay
Till hunger clung them
Or the dropping dead
Lured their lank jaws
Himself sought out no food but
With a piteous and perpetual moan and a quick desolate cry
Licking the hand which answered not with a caress
He died

The World Was Void
05:02
|
|||
|
The crowd was famished by degrees
But two of an enormous city did survive
And they were enemies
They met beside the dying
Embers of an altar
Place where had been heap'd a mass of holy things
For an unholy usage
They raked up and shivering scraped
With their cold skeleton hands
The feeble ashes, and their feeble breath
Blew for a little life
And made a flame which was a mockery
Then they lifted up their eyes as it grew lighter and beheld
Each other's aspects
Saw, and shriek'd, and died
Saw, and shriek'd, and died
Even of their mutual hideousness they died
Unknowing who he was upon whose brow famine had written fiend
Famine had written fiend
Void, the world was void
Void, the world was void
Void, the world was void
Void, the world was void
Void, the world was void
Void, the world was void

A Chaos Of Hard Clay
03:17
|
|||
|
The populous and the powerful was a lump
A lump of death
A chaos of hard clay
Seasonless, herbless, treeless, manless, lifeless
The rivers, lakes and ocean all stood still
And nothing stirred within their silent depths
Ships sailorless lay rotting on the sea
And their masts fell down piecemeal
As they dropp'd
They slept on the abyss without a surge
Without a surge
Without a surge
Without a surge
Without a surge
Seasonless, herbless, treeless, manless, lifeless

Waves Were Dead
03:32
|
|||
|
The waves
Were dead
The tides
Were in their grave
The moon
Their mistress
Had
Expired before
The waves
Were dead

She Was the Universe
07:32
|
|||
|
The winds were withered in the stagnant air
And the clouds perished
Darkness had no need of aid from them
Had no need of aid from them
She
She was
She
She was
She was the Universe.
