Analysis of ÆONS



Long forgotten evil lurches
As down the æons terror grows,
Death comes shambling ever near
And like an ocean horror flows.

Malignant fiends from yesteryear
Long lost beings from another age,
Slithering around after twilight
Slaughtering with insane rage.

Malevolent creatures do abound
Behemoths from long, long ago,
Creeping around the town at night
Leaving sucker prints in the snow.

In the town after darkfall comes
Aeon dead monsters reappear,
To terrorise a sleeping township
Spread around death and fear.

Leviathans fill the darkness
Abominations from another time,
Come to haunt the modern world
From some horrid ancient clime.

Prehistoric scaly grotesquerie
Surviving somehow down the æons,
Her to traumatise the present
Long after their time should have gone.

Things that creep, things that crawl
Shrieking like death's ungodly voice,
Degenerate beasts leaving slime trails
Puce green dæmons swollen and moist.

Pustulence oozing from the bodies
Of these depravities straight from Hell,
Lurid, torrid, awful malformed freaks
Bloated deviants with a fæcal smell.
