"Listen to me!" Said the demon, his hand upon my head "There's a dreary region which slides from off The columns of melancholy" There's no quiet, nor silence Strange poisonous flowers Grey clouds rush through the horizon A rusting and loud noise There's no quiet, nor silence It was night and the rain fell On the ground it was blood I stood in the morass The rain fell upon my head A crimson moon arose My eyes fell upon a huge grey rock It shows me some characters Desolation, was the word Upon the summit of the rock there stood a man A king or a deity? I saw sorrow, weariness Disgust with makind and A longing after solitude The man now trembled in the solitude I watched that man trembling Trembling in the night I watched that man trembling In the solitude In cursing I grew angry The curse of silence Thunders died away Now the word is silence Pale, that man tried to hear something Nothing in an illimitable desert Terrorized, that man ran away I beheld him no more. Silence The demon told me this fable By my side in the shadow of the tomb He laughs, I can't. He curses me As the linx stares at him "Past the morass, beyond the desert That man still trembles in the dark Fear is all that he deserves Silence is the monsters released from the ark"
