Aeons Upon Aeons
01:51
|
|||
Spheres collide
A beast at the heart of the world crawls to the sky
With the great scraping of bones that makes continents totter
Stars align
Oceans surge
The mountains come out to play with the comets and the stars
Carnaki has fallen
Dr. Silence is no more
Even I, who has vanquished the Varcolac and the Strigoi
Even I am at an end
A crawling chaos has stolen my will
I can hear inhuman voices raised in hymns unheard since the dawn of our insignificant race
I’ve seen the goat of a thousand young suckle its spawn in our cities
Seen Yog-Sothoth ascend to the highest circles of worldly power
I have seen the signs and have read the tomes:
The Mysteries of the Worm, the names of the Dead, The Keys to the Stars
My knowledge has not availed me
I cannot prevail
I, who have faced down ancient evils
Triumphed over monsters and demons
I am powerless against the elder gods
Aeons upon Aeons old,
On this,
The dreaded day
Of their return.

The Secret People
03:56
|

The secret people come at night!
Woah Oh night!
At night!
The shadows pass amongst the tome stones
Through the crypts is where they go
All around the candle flicker
An eerie mist begins to glow
The secret people come at night!
The secret people come at night!
They gather in the solemn graveyard
Singing hymns in ancient tongues
Something writhes beneath the soil
And lets forth a frightful howl.
They are finally reunited
Brothers of forbidden cloth
Collective from beyond the grave
Exacting vengeance
For sins unpaid.
The night has given way to sunlight
Dim and shrouded by the gloom
The dead sink back into the soil
The betrayers met their doom
The secret people come at night!

War of the Elder Gods
05:24
|
|||
They arrive from the depths of space
The coming of a tyrant race
Casting spells upon earth’s new races
Return them to their shadowed places
Tentacle, tooth, and claw
Black wing, consuming maw
Primitive eyes gaze in fright
Shrinking back into endless night
War of the elder gods
Cosmic stage from distant stars
Lays to waste all that thrives
An insignificant planet dies
Battle rages but one will rise
Claiming the planet as its prize
The price of power was far too great
The domination came too late
Stars align to poison the blood
Cities became swallowed in flood
The warlord returns to his lair
To awaken many years later
War of the elder gods
Cosmic stage from distant stars
Lays to waste all that thrives
An insignificant planet dies

From Void to Ocean
07:09
|
|||
We can't seem to see
What will come to be
Asleep eternally
A doom beneath the sea
If not in our lives
Then in some future time
Mankind will fall pray
To the lord beneath the waves
From void to ocean comes the lords
Within the depths, gather his hordes
Within his dreams, he plots man's fall
And cracks appear in slumber’s walls
When the stars are right
A tyrant will arise
Space and time ignite
So begins eternal night
Lands begin to sink
Down into the deep
Temples reach the sky
Blasphemy arise
From void to ocean comes the lords
Within the depths, gather his hordes
Within his dreams, he plots man's fall
And cracks appear in slumber’s walls
Now hear the rending of minds
From the deeps all madness align
Under the star
Hear ruinations scream
A worldwide funeral
A deathly dream

Nightgaunts on the Rise
05:51
|
|||
Oh, curse this night that I ever set my eyes
Upon the creatures flapping blackly down from the sky
Their membranous wings and their featureless faces
Carry my dreams down to desolate places
I feel my skin tingle
Have I stepped in sin?
I can’t account for the trouble I’m in
Sentinels watching perched on steeple and roof
Swooping down and their claws will soon know the truth
Night gaunts on the rise
Circling the skies
Nodens hears their minds
Night gaunts on the rise
Cannot see or cry
Carry you through time
Oh, curse this life that I chose to take for naught
Now I fly through spaces unlocked
I have been judged and my sentence is pain
I hear the void
The comic flutes sing my name
Murder of creatures flapping blackly in mass
Before this throne, my mind will shatter like glass
My futures bleak as I look about aghast
Azathoths for is so mighty and vast
Night gaunts on the rise
Circling the skies
Nodens hears their minds
Night gaunts on the rise
Cannot see or cry
Carry you through time
After the journey traversing through space
The fiends return to their shadowy place
Back to their mother for unholy rest
They suckle milk from yibb-tstll black breast
I awake in a padded cell
Mad or sane I cannot tell
From my window, I can see
That the creatures are still waiting for me.
Night gaunts on the rise
Circling the skies
Nodens hears their minds
Night gaunts on the rise
Cannot see or cry
Carry you through time

Skullsplitter
04:53
|
|||
Skull splitter
Charges his foe
Ax bloodied
Crimson on snow
And no one has seen
And left with their life
This beast of the southland killing with spite
And no one will dare to challenge his ax
Sending all souls to Satan’s grasp
Skull splitter
Bellows with rage
The battlefield
His holy place
And no one is safe as long as he lives
His spirit is black
A cauldron of sins
A chaotic force that never knows time
Forever safe from the reaper’s scythe
Oh!
Into the valleys
And over the plains
A trail of death
And moldering remains
No lust for vengeance
No love for gold
A murderous frenzy
Is all his heart knows
Skullsplitter
Forever he roams
Blood and steel
All that he knows
And no one has seen
And left with their life
This beast of the southland killing with spite
And no one will dare to challenge his ax
Sending all souls to Satan’s grasp
And no one is safe as long as he lives
His spirit is black
A cauldron of sins
A chaotic force that never knows time
Forever safe from the reaper’s scythe

Yithian Overlords
09:43
|
|||
Feel the shackles grip your mind
It’s the downfall of our kind
Into our shells, their souls are poured
Our masters' Yithian overlords
Beings from another plain
Both divine and deranged
Of these, we’ve learned from the text
The tomes the arcane scholars left
Chrononauts of the mind
Transcending body space and time
To arrive in our domain
Make us all their slaves
Feel the shackles grip your mind
It’s the downfall of our kind
Into our shells, their souls are poured
Our masters' Yithian overlords
In your eyes, you won't believe
Of the things in which I speak
But there’s no doubt you feel the fear
The darkness close, the terror real
And the nightmares come to pass
From the present, future, past
Your realization is too late
There is no time to change your fate
Oh no!
Feel the shackles grip your mind
It’s the downfall of our kind
Into our shells, their souls are poured
Our masters' Yithian overlords
Time rifts gape
Dimensional wakes
Reality shudders
Reality shakes
Through the door
An astral shore
Seeing terrors
Like never before
Mindless slaves
Bodies in chains
Serving masters
With nebulous ways
Mankind’s son
Fading away
No more tomorrow
No more today
Listen son the time draws near
I know your soul it fills with fear
These things I say will come to pass
Make your last rites
Make ‘em fast
Our time has come
Bow to unearthly ones

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
