Cursed foul noisome tendrils of night
came sidling through the broken air
an atmosphere so foul and fair
there compared darkness was ever so bright
They wove in cracks of space and time
stymieing senses in sciences stained
defying of brains of the logically trained
Madness like snow, an unstable rime
Shattered and splintered and mindless they shook
in restraints, in belts, and padded-cell lives
speaking the truths that all said were lies
Not knowing that gods gave as much as they took
Wild tangents of symphony, unceasing cacophony
Speech as none knew since language's birth
Understanding unwritten upon this one earth
From the mouths of the mad, unspoken in company
came sidling through the broken air
an atmosphere so foul and fair
there compared darkness was ever so bright
They wove in cracks of space and time
stymieing senses in sciences stained
defying of brains of the logically trained
Madness like snow, an unstable rime
Shattered and splintered and mindless they shook
in restraints, in belts, and padded-cell lives
speaking the truths that all said were lies
Not knowing that gods gave as much as they took
Wild tangents of symphony, unceasing cacophony
Speech as none knew since language's birth
Understanding unwritten upon this one earth
From the mouths of the mad, unspoken in company
