Mountains Of Madness

"i gloriosi fasti di una civiltà sepolta

Sotto le sabbie dei deserti del tempo

Nell'aria i sogni andati nelle memorie delle terre perdute

Di rado nelle antiche lande del sogno le impronte degli dei"

All around us we saw

The silent ruins of the centuries

Unfathomable abyss of the deep oceans

Visions that were losing

The peace and the balance

Of nature and its laws

Those mountains evoked a strange and wonderful sensation

Under the reddish light of the sun

Those frightening

And majestic peaks

Were pylons of a frightful door

Leading to a forbidden

Sphere of dream

And to the vortex of time and space

Those mountains evoked a strange and wonderful sensation

Under the reddish light of the sun

Here are the mountains of madness

Which faced the last cursed abyss

The ruins of the temples

Situated on the peaks of the mountains

In a cosmic ethereal vacuum

In labirinths of walls and towers

Restless ice vapours above our heads

Here is the cyclopic city

With its constructions

As black as the night!

That gave life to monstrous perversions

Of geometrical laws

The cosmic terror in the giants towers
