lyrics

Through my dreams the voice calls
The awakening of a long slumbering God
Through my nights I feel the beckoning
Answering the summons of the dreamer
Universal visions of horror in infinite black seas

Floating through mystic swirling sights
Of towers long lost to the hold of the deep
Emerald hazed, through glowing mossy monoliths
The great sleeper continues its lucid summoning
Drawing me further to witness its mysteries

Drifting through labyrinthine palaces
which have not bore gaze in millennia
Twisting avenues past cyclopean masonry
To the great structure at its core I am called

Before a great door I find myself frozen
Terror gripped at its ancient splendour
Carved iconography of nightmares untold
Beings whom mortals weren't meant to see
Abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy

Distant voices begin their hateful chant
Growing louder and forceful in malevolence
The worship of an ancient being long dead
To raise it from this drowned necropolis
And spread a loathsome gospel of insanity

Subterranean dementia of aeons lost
Mausoleum of the unknowable and unholy
Slimy sheen's glistening on strange places
I am lost in its unearthly loathsomeness
No eyes were made to look upon these sights
And yet I continue to drift ever further

(Iä Iä Cthulhu fhtagn)

Through nocturnal wanderings I follow them
The call to R'lyeh, ancient abyss
Chants for the awakening of the Old Ones
As the abhorrent citadel rises once again
and great wings unfold and the eldritch lives again
