"cosmic horror... is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock... themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries... the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale..."

Eternity now grips you, your world splits down its seam
Your throat is choked to silence, but inwardly you scream
As darkness roils around you, your mind is set at ease
Embrace the void inside you, you finally have peace
The air around you beckons
You struggle and fight
But my friend all you hear
Is a faint shrill
As kermit is on the prowl
For his first kill of the night
Automatically read it to the melody. Nicely done.
