Ulterior Gods

"Of such great powers or beings there may be
Conceivably a survival...a survival of a hugely
Remote period when... consciousness was
Manifested, perhaps, in shapes and forms long
Since withdrawn before the tide of advancing
Humanity... forms of which poetry and legend
Alone have caught a flying memory and called
Them gods, monsters, mythical beings of all
Sorts and kinds..."

Tentacles of god swirl in my dreams
Strange cities arise swollen with fears
Forbidden eons' glimpse in dwelling mind
Nocturnal secrets crawl
Passing on lore to human kind

Where are those ulterior gods
Drown in mist, in slumber voiced
Their tales are forgotten
Songs and dances long forlorn

Sinister visions delirium evokes
Image of the gods in cthonic vaults
Awake in the dark pondering for eons
When their time will come
I pray to dream on

Where are those ulterior gods
Drown in mist, in slumber voiced
Their tales are forgotten
Songs and dances long forlorn

Where are those ulterior gods
Behind the wall of sleep they dwell
Preaching to the faithful ones
Reviving terror in my brain
