Of the Abyss

The coast of nowhere, the edge of the night The deepening void, awake in the light of the day To see through those eyes, to linger in the hearts Of the ancient ones who dwell beneath the ocean A pact has been made, a stage has been set A sacrifice to see their end of the bargain met Wilful distortion of the human mind The mass extinction of humankind Flee in horror Seeing all that they are Denizens of the deep In the guise of the innocent Broken lord See it on the horizon Bursting forth From their boiling skin Rending flesh Make way for the old blood Spreading death For the dead cannot die The priestess beckons the most ancient of names The choir hearkens I'a Cthulhu Within his city walls, the sleeper remains And yet the sky darkens Beyond the Devil's Reef, within the blackened deep Prodigious progeny is stirring from a restless sleep The congregation cowed, they sing to Dagon now As he begins to emerge Gaze in wonder Blazing under the waves Shining with darkness The bane of the light Broken lord See it on the horizon Bursting forth From their boiling skin Rending flesh Make way for the old blood Spreading death For the dead cannot die Elder gods rise Eternal nightmare Stars tell no lies The eldest of the old Strange aeons rise Forever in your dreams Even Death dies He shall awaken The dead cannot die
