A Picture of the Devouring Gloom Devouring the Spheres of Being - Mournful Congregation

A time when skies fell

And all expanse

Constricted to nought

The golden serpent sat impregnable

In the womb of darkness

Coiled in wait

Breathless in hibernation

All inner voices sang (the song of) silence

Wise but blind

Seeing but unknowing

All-consuming

All-devouring

The first, devoured by the second

Shadows of the shadow

We are they

Shadow of the shadows

The imperishable may now perish

The devoured now devour

Draw deep this breath, for it is thy last

The great prayer has now been sung…

The laws of nature have been buried in ruin

The affrighted sun has been deprived of its light

All futures have cast their shadows before

All pasts have left their impress behind
