House of strange angles
Of madness rife with grief
Life's fast tangles
Muddling what was once belief
Creatures murky at first sight
Descend upon the living
Drawing strength from their fright
Yog-Sothoth, Great Old One, forbidding
Worry, fear, confusion abound
Wraith-like and silent
It feeds upon fear found here
Growing larger with each lament
Each fruitless prayer
Devoured with greed
As one's tread upon the stair
Feeds this monster's need
