作词 : Howard Phillips Lovecraft
作曲 : Radix
It is now clear to me that any literary merit 
I have is confined to of dream-life,

strange shadows, and cosmic "outsideness".

I have no illusions concerning 
the precarious status of my tales,

and do not expect to become a serious 
competitor of my favourite weird authors 

Poe, Arthur Machen, Dunsany.

The only thing I can say 
in favour of my work is its sincerity.

I refuse to follow the mechanical 
conventions of popular fiction 

to fill my tales with stock characters 
and situations, 

but insist on reproducing real moods 
and impressions in the best way I can command.

The result may be poor, 

but I had rather keep aiming 
at serious literary expression

than accept the artificial 
standards of cheap romance.
