Foundations Of Stone

(D)Irkat-lukhud ma

katabrikihu

Ulfat-atam ma

tanakhi uduhu

bin-nât aznân tarsisi

Bazar udu agânî-furkhîn

Gurd!

Ma nîd sakhu!

Ma satf unkhai!

Atkât zatagrafizu

Zatablugi sulluzu

(Q)Mettanna

Nárendur!

An mauya mahtie.

Mettanna!

'No shaft of light

Can breach it

No breath of air

Comes from it

Only an endless dark rises

Deep from the beginnings

Of the world.

Have fear.

Do not look down

Nor step too close

The silence will take you.

It will swallow you whole.'
