Tales of the eldritch you have heard
Journeys from the void and endless oceans you have traveled
The Tentagram you have waylaid
But to what end?
You think you have escaped
But your descent into madness has only just begun
Tonight we have stories from beyond the veil of good and evil
Titular, malevolent horizons from which your already broken mind will never recover
Of mists incarnate with baleful beings
Book who’s promises kept bring only suffering
Of things in the shadows which titter and creep
We invite you, if you dare, to take and eldritch ride through horrors dark and obscene
But know this, your doom is sealed and the die cast
For you may wish to know the unknown but it is the unknown that wants you dead.

You learned late in the game
Nobody get their own
Many tried and now they’re gone
Money only gets you so far
And now you’ve endeavored
You who are do clever
To have your will obeyed
It is you who’ll become the slave
Let there be no illusions
The unknown wants you dead!
The unknown wants you dead!
The unknown wants you dead!
The unknown wants you dead!
The unknown wants you dead!
You searched for the answers
You studied the enchanters
Your ideals never changed
Your above their pedestrian ways
And now you have the black arts in mind
You new life is defined
All insects shall bow
To you and your new power
The unknown wants you dead!
The unknown wants you dead!
The unknown wants you dead!
The unknown wants you dead!
Some men learn
Some men die
Some heed the laws
Scribed by time
Others they flaunt
Their so called power
But in the end
In the shadow of evil they’ll cower
The unknown wants you dead!
And so the years come and go
The seeds of evil are sown
And now the reaping draws near
The cosmos fills you with fear
Then the stars begin falling
The dread is appalling
Your power means nothing to them
The unknown wants you dead!
It wants you dead!

Into The Curio
04:27
|

Open the door
To imagination
There you will find
No fabrication
All that you see
Are proof of my travels
Across the dimensions
Here my story unravel
Step into my curio
Enter if you dare
Confound your mind with mystery
Leave your earthly cares
Can you feel it all around you?
Antiquity in the air
What you hold their
Is a relic most vile
From a clandestine cult
From the pacific isles
It made its way
To innsmouth town
Where in the ruins
It was found
Now I must say
That i see doubt
Within your eye
Please cross the threshold
You’ll see i tell no lies
For countless years
I have traveled untold trails
Come and see
A glimpse
Of what's behind the veil
Step into my curio
Enter if you dare
Confound your mind with mystery
Leave your earthly cares
Can you feel it all around you?
Antiquity in the air
High on that shelf
Sits a book of occult wealth
From countless years ago
What lies within its bindings?
No one knows
From the lands of dunes it came
It drives it's reader insane
Many its owners are dead
This book of the mad Alhazred
Step into my curio
Enter if you dare
Confound your mind with mystery
Leave your earthly cares
Can you feel it all around you?
Antiquity in the air

In the dark
Deep underground
There is a silence
There is no sound
But that of dripping
The stones are weeping
The walls they groan
Something is coming from the unknown
Nature is frightened
In this chamber
That few men know
There sits a chantry
Of blood stained stone
This tabernacle
Of cruel intent
Around we gather
We faithful light this profane brazier
The sky is rending
We have prayed our frightful hymns to our tyrant gods
We faithful have intoned the spell to our tyrant gods
Our tyrant gods have heard our song resound the ritual gong
They have heard our canticle come our tyrant god
Come our tyrant gods
Come our tyrant gods
Take your place!
The time is now!
The gate in the sky!
Gaping wide!
Take your place!
Amongst the stars!

Cultes Des Ghoules
07:28
|

On his deathbed
My father gave me the book
Keep it hidden upon its pages never look
He died one day and his warning I forsook
The binding creaked as if to scream
Read of my pages never pass away
For years I studied
The esoteric rites
Those words and phrases
That i would speak in time
I never thought
On the words my father spoke
Then one October night
They heard my screams of fright
Cultes Des Ghoules
Let your voice be heard
Unspeakable Are your words
Cultes Des Ghoules
Let your voice be heard
Unspeakable Are your words
Now in this padded cell
Memories are all I have
I dwell upon the thing
The evil that drove me made
How long can I repeat that
Awful moment in time
Let me out of this place
Curiosity my only crime
Within the sigil
In the tower room
I read the pages
And i felt the horror loom
The floorboards shifted
It was something breaking through
A rotten spectre
From beyond the tomb
It stared at me
With rotten sunken eyes
It spoke these words to me
Damn my foolish pride
“You have called to me and i'll
bestow the gift: everlasting life
if that is what you wish!”
“No! This isn't what I asked! LEAVE ME BE!”
“Please”
Cultes Des Ghoules
Let your voice be heard
Unspeakable Are your words
Cultes Des Ghoules
Let your voice be heard
Unspeakable are your words
“And so i watch
From the window
Of my cell the
Time slip by
Forever to rot
Never to die.”

Strange Blood
07:34
|
|||
Through the alleys of decay he came
And looked me in the eye
A rotten toothed grin he gave
He said "I never lie
But you resemble the folk who dwell
Within these crumbling walls
Zadok Allen this is my name
And I have much to tell"
Much to tell
Much to tell
Much to tell
Much to tell
Much to tell
Oh oh
Oh oh
He took me to his wretched home
I started trembling
“I may be old but I tell the truth!”
These words he said to me
“I was just a boy when they came
This place lost its mind
And I can tell by your haunting eyes
That you belong to them!”
Belong to them
Belong to them
Belong to them
Belong to them
Belong to them
Oh oh
Oh oh
He told a tale so frightful
The look he gave so spiteful
I stared in disbelief at what he told me
Finally he turned upon me
And with a blade he stuck me
He stared down coldly as my life poured from me
So this is how I die!
From the light I fell away
My blood it burned inside
The sea it called
“Come to my tides my one and only child!”
Now in the depths of the deep I abide
The sleeper he calls
Shed no tears for eternal I dwell
A child in Dagon's realm
Dagon’s realm
Dagon’s realm
Dagon’s realm
Dagon’s realm
Dagon’s realm
Oh oh
Oh oh

Innsmouth Town
02:19
|

Welcome to our rotten town
Festered and moldering this home of mine
Outsiders ain't welcome in these streets of grime
In the trash filled gutters or the alleys of slime
So listen well to the stories you hear
About devils reef and the goings on there
Or end up tied down 'pon an altar of stone
And fed to our father in the ocean below
We’ll stalk you down rain sodden streets
Behind you our shadows will crawl and creep
Until you are mad or in our grasp
How long do you think you will last?
Your clothes are soaked to your shivering flesh
You gave everything now you face your death
You are surrounded and there's no escape
Now surrender to inevitable fate
You may think yourself free
But you’ve crawled to your grave
To my malformed mind
Your a troublesome knave
So stay far away
Or go into the ground
But never step foot into Innsmouth Town!
Don’t go into Innsmouth town!

The Procession
05:21
|

He discovered
A method
To divide the curtain
Between the dimensions
He had waited
A lifetime
For this moment
To enter another world
Mind dilating
Capitulating
Metamorphing
Now he was
Just another fiend
On a distant planet
Where a dim sun shines
Through a hazy sky
Now he was just
Another fiend
On the distant planet
Of Yuggoth
Misshapen by hubris
He curses his own life
Others they circle
Around him
His misshapen form
He dashes back
Through the fissure
Mind dilating
Capitulating
Metamorphing
Yet he was just another fiend
On the distant planet
Where a dim sun shines
Through a hazy sky
Now he was just another fiend
“And so he he ventured out into that new and terrible world,
where ice rose up in insurmountable spires and fell away in
gulfs of stygian blackness. This place, completly hostile to
human existence yet his transformation had allowed him
life, for what comfort that gave him. It was then he heard
their terrible clickings and groanings and was suddenly
surrounded by a tumbling mass of horrifying inhumanity!
The fissure he thought, I must close the fissure!”
He could not close
The portal
Out poured the vile
He fled bleeting madly
In madness he led
The procession
An otherworld infection
Across the face of the earth
And now is our doom
Our doom

The Mansion In The Mist
07:13
|
|||
It was a dark rain sodden night
Draped in the evil of eons
I was called to the aid
Of a miserable child
The séance began in a storm
As the chanting intoned
I felt a presence untangling
A wicked form began swirling
Now I dwell in mansion in the mist
Now I dwell in the mansion in the mist
In my mind the visions they burned
I was taken to horrible vistas
I broke the circle
And my eyes rolled back in my head
They were in a malaise
We tried to find our way out
Menace descends
And the mist it infected
Now I dwell in the mansion in the mist
Now I dwell in the mansion in the mist
“Now silence child or you shall surely be discovered
And you'll be not but sustenance for their grim gods
I shall return, on this I promise!”
One by one the family and servants
Fell the prey to a vaporous doom
Their eyes glowed malignant and red
And they stalked me wanting me dead
I had no choice submerged in my fears
My hands were covered in their blood and their tears
I dropped the axe and left their bodies to rot
Oh god I cried in my final hour make this nightmare stop!
The end is nigh!
I knew this thing wished its freedom
I returned to the child
The host had withered and died
But the beast was inside
I called the thing from within
And stood there shaking
The demon possessed me inside
So from the window I committed suicide!
Now I dwell in the mansion in the mist
Now I dwell in the mansion in the mist
Now I dwell in the mansion in the mist

The Golden City
07:11
|
|||
So cold
Where have I gone?
What is
This horrid shape?
Who stares
From this cosmic lair?
I must wake
From this nightmare!
And you shall see
What's meant to be
Take me away
To the Golden City
I traverse
Astral plains
To hear your secrets
And ancient voice
Now tell me the
Nature of
Time and space
In this place
And you shall see
What's meant to be
Take me away
To the Golden City
Human insects
Your journey has just begun
Only now you start
Your cosmic ascension
With the turn of the key
You'll find yourself
In the strangest of places
Now come with me
And you shall see
What's meant to be
Take me away
To the Golden City
Oh pray tell
Lord of dread
Can I unlock
This power within
Yes I can feel
The heel of time
Upon my heart
Upon my mind
And I have seen
What will be
Send me away
From this Golden City
And I have seen
What will be
Send me away
From this Golden City
