---

Beyond the shadowy hills there lies
The land of a race with crimson eyes.
Where looming, towering figures rise
Above the plains where darkness lies
And cast about their baleful eyes
Upon a folk that never dies,
A world whose knowledge death defies
And where the deathless silence cries
A sound of rage or joy likewise
But here the silent void defies
All noise, its own unspoken cries
Upon a folk that never dies,
Upon a race that ever lies,
Where truth is but a poor disguise
For a nightmare land whose name defies
Both sanity and its demise
Land of a race with crimson eyes
Land of a folk that never dies
Land of a people that ever lies
Land of a race that death defies
Land of a folk whose unheard cries
Echo from spaces where madness lies.

In Leng of the eternal ice
I met that race with crimson eyes
And learnt their lore and heard their cries
And read the silent libraries
That held the ancient knowledge wise
And there I learnt of their demise
In grief they waited, their lonely cries
To echo from the vaults likewise
And if I strained my ears and eyes
I could perceive where madness lies:
In the land of a race with crimson eyes
In the land of a folk that never dies
In the land of a people that ever lies
In the land of a race that death defies.

Beyond the shadowy hills it lies
Beyond the silver stars that rise
Above the plains where darkness lies.

Your story is not like Saunders' story, which should be made available for all to read on Aran's site like it is here.

I think I may have found the back-issues of that magazine in the Berkeley library next to Chronicon Aethelweardi Semi-Monthly. I think that the idea was that reading the latter would have about the same effect as the things described in the latter.
