Thule by Theatres Des Vampires Lyrics
(Words taken from "Dreamland", by Edgar Allan Poe, and last sentence taken from "Dracula", by Bram Stoker)
"By a route obscure and lonely
Haunted by ill angels only
Where an Eidolon, named night
On a black throne reigns upright
I have reached this lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule
From a wild weired clime that lieth,sublime
Out of SPACE, out of TIME
By the dismal tarns and pools
Where dwell the Vampires
By each spot the most unholy
In each nook the most melancholy;
There the traveller meets aghast
Sheeted memories of the past
Shrouded forms that start and sigh
As they pass the wanderer by
By a route obscure and lonely
Haunted by ill angels only
Where an Eidolon, named night
On a black throne reigns upright
I have wandered home but newly
From this ultimate dim Thule."
"For the dead travel fast."
"By a route obscure and lonely
Haunted by ill angels only
Where an Eidolon, named night
On a black throne reigns upright
I have reached this lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule
From a wild weired clime that lieth,sublime
Out of SPACE, out of TIME
By the dismal tarns and pools
Where dwell the Vampires
By each spot the most unholy
In each nook the most melancholy;
There the traveller meets aghast
Sheeted memories of the past
Shrouded forms that start and sigh
As they pass the wanderer by
By a route obscure and lonely
Haunted by ill angels only
Where an Eidolon, named night
On a black throne reigns upright
I have wandered home but newly
From this ultimate dim Thule."
"For the dead travel fast."
