Prophecy
01:41

Nine seers
Three eyes
One all-seeings
Two are blind
One brazier smoking
One vision seen
Nine seers dreaming
The prophecy!

The Gate
05:49
|
|||
It’s my time I’ve waited so long
Countless years of study, I can’t go wrong
Flip the Lever!
Summon forth the gate
Summon forth the gate
Summon forth the gate
Cosmic skies before my eyes, I’m stunned!
I appear in lands far beyond our sun
Miskatonic fools!
Every one was wrong
Every one was wrong
Every one was wrong
A Prophet of the Gods appeared to me
It whispered in my ear
and spoke a language unknown to me
That I understood
A future of remorse
If I follow this course
I could not comprehend
What the pages told me
Sacrifice!
Oblation
An offering
Shedding humanity
I will loose my soul
With this vestal bloodletting
It’s my time I’ve made up my mind
People die every day, what’s left to say?
Find the woman open up her veins
Let her body drain
Open up her veins
Summon forth the gate
Insanity awaits!

Altar Nights
04:49
|

No man has ever touched you
All their lies you’ve seen through
Their traps have bait but you wont bite
You’ll stay pure all of your life
You’re the type of girl
Who’ll make the portal swirl
You’re the type of girl
Who’ll make the cosmos whirl
When I put my dagger in you
All your life you’ve felt the fear
Your mother planted in your ear
Theres only love in Jesus Christ
Protect your heart or pay the price
You’re the type of girl
Who’ll make the portal swirl
You’re the type of girl
Who’ll make the cosmos whirl
When I put my dagger in you
And when I get you alone
Ill read from my tome
Ill have you hypnotized
Now look into my eyes
And then ill lead you astray
To our castle and lock you away
Until your final day
To the gods your life we’ll pay
Now you sit in our dungeon cold
Crumbling, ancient, covered in mold
These shackles keep you chained to stone
You should have listened to what your mother told
You’re the type of girl
Who’ll make the portal swirl
You’re the type of girl
Who’ll make the cosmos whirl
On these altar nights!

House of the Breathless
01:50
|
|||
Cold winds blow against the skin of a crumbling house
It's dull eyes gaze eastward
Across leagues of ocean
To where a storm is slowly birthing
|

Lunacy!
04:15
|
|||
She’s the woman of my dreams
I’ve followed her through everything
She’s imprisoned in this place
Within this house dark things i'll face
Wood and stone
Blood and bone
Mind unwound
Dark secrets found
Traverse these floors of creaking doom
What can I see in this room?
A womb of evil I can sense
My mind will be its recompense
Wood and stone
Blood and bone
Pulsing flesh
Screams my death
And from the shadows
My fear is unveiled
The visage of terror brings me
To lunacy’s door!
My feet take flight without my brain
The doctors here think I’m insane
I still see her within my dreams
If only they’d seen what I’ve seen
Wood and stone
Blood and bone
Mind unwound
Dark secret found
Wood and stone
Blood and bone
Pulsing flesh
Screams my death

Playing With Darkness
05:53
|

They always think they know
They’ve done their studies
They have the best intentions
To make more money
History will tell their tales
And revere their names
But reality bares its teeth
It will never be this way
Fools
Playing with darkness
Fools
Playing their games
They’re Fools
Tampering with madness
They’re fools
Fate will end their ways
They parade their knowledge
They’ve learned new things
They have every reason
To play fate’s strings
They will cross new thresholds
And blaze new trails
But the futures authors
Will write a different tale
Fools
Playing with darkness
Fools
Playing their games
They’re Fools
Tampering with madness
They’re fools
Fate will end their ways
To accomplish the unspeakable
They must reenact the past
Through the dimmest mists of latter years
They ready to plot their wicked mass
Behold my brothers! The ether gate
For soon, it shall open
Before us, the work of eons is to be accomplished
beneath the shadow of the sleeping stars
in this house of the breathless
Verily I say, our preparations are at an end
Scent of innocence
Glow of candles
Chant with me!
Fools
Playing with darkness
Fools
Playing their games
They’re Fools
Tampering with madness
They’re fools
Fate will end their ways

The Slumbering
07:00
|
|||
You don’t need to scream any more
Yes my dear your nearing death door
You’ll be praised for what you do
Your death will make a life renew
Oh yeah!
That which sleeps has slept too long
It’s time to wake so ring the gong
Send this world to hell again
Release it from this plague called man
The time has come
The voices call
Let the gate
Bring forth the gods
You who the sane
Mind abhors
Now you shall slumber
Slumber no more!
They had boasted of a castle, but it had been nothing more than a crumbling victorian affair atop a lonely knoll by the ocean. They took here from the dank, stone walled cellar and up into the altar room where the preparations where arraigned. They sang their hymns and lit their incense unaware that their sacrifice had slowly worked herself free of her bonds.
Do you wish to see what lies beyond?
Close your eyes and pray to God
You seem distraught but do not fret
Your sacrifice, will not be ill met
This is wrong how can it be?
We’ve done all we can, to appease thee
Your supplicants who praise your name
Now flee your shape or else be maimed
The time has come
The voices call
Let the gate
Bring forth the gods
You who the sane
Mind abhors
Now you shall slumber
Slumber no more!
Slumber no more!
Slumber no more!

From above my cosmic den
I can smell the desires of men
I spread my wings and approach the void
Upon this sacrifice I will engorge
The light that shines from the living realm
Reveals a visage forged in hell
I bask in the glory of the fear I see
Six robed figures bowing down before me
I have returned
Beware
I have returned
Beware
I have returned
Beware
I have returned
I have returned from my carrion pit
I’ll set your world ablaze
And you will never extinguish it!
They lead me to the altar room
My maiden waits her sweet flesh ill consume
Approaching close, all observe my surprise
A meatless altar now awaken my ire
They’ve damned themselves more then they know
Gnashing hunger from my abysmal soul
They cannot know what pain awaits
These incompetent fools have sealed their own fates
I have returned
Beware
I have returned
Beware
I have returned
Beware
I have returned
I have returned from my carrion pit
I’ll set your world ablaze
And you will never extinguish it!
The storm is unleashed as my majesty culls
The fools run about, how they scatter and fall
The screams are sublime as the insects crawl
The sacrifice forgotten I’ll punish them all
This mansions is marked forever cursed
And with my departure my legend is birthed
So do not forget me and always beware
The slithering terror of the gibbering thing!

Tentagram
06:00
|

Ia! Ia! Ia! Ia!
She appears through the mist
Before her stand robbed figures
Raising fists they call to her
The prophecy has been for-told
Confused and scared she falls to her knees
A hideous being approaches
Voices raised and faces unveiled
One thousand amphibians scream!
You have come to use our virgin queen
You will rule this world it has been foreseen
Topple all the Gods the prophecy complete
All will know and fear the sigil of your power
The Tentagram!
Across the bogs and plains of bone
The inhuman caravan wanders
They clear the cliffs at the edge of the sea
A fortress city arises
She is taken through the gates
And into the chamber of council
Nine wise beings await to hear of her tail
The legend unfolds and they sing!
You have come to use our virgin queen
You will rule this world it has been foreseen
Topple all the Gods the prophecy complete
All will know and fear the sigil of your power
The Tentagram!
The second moon
Of the dead Gods shall rise
What was undone
Shall once again thrive!
This planet marsh
Will turn to dust
The armies of the white pillar
Will live again
The sun will rise no more
And oceans of blood will flow
Ia! Ia! Ia! Ia!
There is no return from this place
The virgin is set in her fate
Divining rod and blessing of Yog
The cloak and ruby ordained
She wanders out to face the world
That is now her dominion
She raises her staff and the tenagram rises
The shadow of darkness approaches!
You have come to use our virgin queen
You will rule this world it has been foreseen
Topple all the Gods the prophecy complete
All will know and fear the sigil of your power
The Tentagram!

Graveyard Earth
06:00
|
|||
The years passed by
And soon it came clear
The end of the human race
Had come near
We fought and fought
There was no stopping it
We made our exodus
On this silver ship
The years passed by
We still found no hope
Through thousands of light years
We continued to roam
And every night
I see her face
The woman i sought
In an alien place
Graveyard Earth
We leave you behind
Our future so dark we must be blind
Graveyard Earth
Be silent and still
We leave our dead and an alien will

Space God Ritual Portland, Oregon
In the deepest sub-basement of Olaff's Antiquities, The Curator gathers his faithful to spread his obscure and otherworldly message. Down they go, deep into the earth's forgotten caverns of stygian splendor, where tyrant gods await! It is there, under the ancient forest of stalactites, that the auditory horrors of Space God Ritual take their shape and are birthed into an unsuspecting world! ... more
