lyrics

Pestilential weather
clouds blow out the sun
a barren mist covers the sky

cyclopean pylons
shapes of hideous giants
from the pale frame of the mountain
shadows advance

oblique solar blades
sink into the edges
of the balusters

from the inner temple
an appalling noise
lugubrious cavernous drums
an infernal lament

the cut off beak of the statue
opens into a grin
the god speaks
in growling curses

and the desert moves
like a slow guarding beast
crawling towards
the exhumed shrine
landslides pour into crevices
from ledge to ledge

a low choir of a thousand
swirling murmuring voices
sand flows down
from the precipice
touching the pedestal
