The Persecuting Engine

from The Shunned Country by Bob Drake

/

lyrics

I’d forgotten the words
which would placate the Thing
now that I was in its chamber.
It stood on its hind legs and placed its
forepaws on my shoulders,
and told me telepathically:
“Your punishment will be the Engine.
the Persecuting Engine; which from afar
can influence your actions as we wish,
distort your perceptions into undecipherable alien ones,
replace your will with ours and nothing can stop it.
And no one will believe you,
they’ll just say you’re crazy”.
