Oxen of the Sun

The voices blend and fuse in clouded silence
 Grey twilight ever descends, never falls
 Shedding her dusk
 Scattering stars
 Scattering stars
 She follows her mother with ungainly steps
 Meek apprehensive skull
 They fade, sad fantoms all
 All is gone
 Agendath is a wasteland
 A home of screech owls and the sandblind
 The sandblind
 Netaim the golden is no more
 On the highway of the clouds they come
 Muttering thunder of rebellion
 The ghosts of beasts
 The ghosts of beasts
 Huuh! Hark (Hawk)! Huuh!
 Parallax stalks behind
 And goads them
 The lancinating lightnings of whose brow are scorpions
 Elk and yak,
 The bulls of Bashon and Babylon,
 Mammoth and mastodon,
 They come trooping to the sunken sea
 The sunken sea
 Lacus Mortis
 Lacus Mortis
 Lacus Mortis
 Lacus Mortis
 Ominous, revengeful,
 Zodiacal host
 Onward to the dead sea
 They tramp to drink,
 Unslaked and with horrible gulpings,
 The salt
 The salt somnolent ineuxhaustible flood
 Murderers of the sun
 They moan, passing upon the clouds
 Horned and capricorned
 The trumpeted with the tusked
 The lion-maned and giant-antlered
 Snouter and crawler
 Rodent, ruminant, pachyderm
 All their moving moaning multitude
 Murderers of the sun
 Murderers of the sun
 They moan, passing upon the clouds
 Horned and capricorned
 The trumpeted with the tusked
 The lion-maned and giant-antlered
 Snouter and crawler
 Rodent, ruminant, pachyderm
 All their moving moaning multitude
 Murderers of the sun
 Murderers of the sun
 The voices blend and fuse in clouded silence
 Grey twilight ever descends, never
 Never falls
 Shedding her dusk
 Scattering stars
 Scattering stars
 The equine portent grows again
 Magnified in the deserted heavens
 Scattering stars
 On the highway of the clouds they come
 Muttering thunder of rebellion
 The ghosts of beasts
