  • The lyrics to "In Their Darkened Shrines IV: Ruins" are borrowed from the H. P. Lovecraft short story, "The Nameless City". (These lyrics are not actually spoken in the song, as it is an instrumental. Along with "In Their Darknened Shrines I: Hall of Saurian Entombment", the lyrics are supplementary to the theme of the instrumental.)
