The Horror Within

The fog suffocates the marsh
Bewildered I am, for without companionship I am lost
Hundreds of eyes watch over my shoulder as I turn to look in disarray
Before my eyes the reaper returning to slay

Meek and blinded apparitions
Resurface and recompense
The inner machinations of their minds are an enigma
It's so close I can almost taste it

I begin to descend to the depths of dead gods
Materializing in infinite blackness
Blood paints the pathway to the only door illuminated
Approached without knowledge of what lies beneath
I taste the essence of death

Taunting whispers echo in the halls of smothered tears
Stopped to face the door again
Basking in overwhelming fear
Fallen comrades bleeding at my feet
What have they done?
Opening the gates of hell to the horror within

From each crevice and arch they emerge
Unshackled from the prison of millennia to restore thy fallen lord
Elderly powers clandestine, shadowed in the vastness
Unscathed, sheltering affliction from the masses of the galaxy
Populace sulking in disease
Chanting to their gods for mercy
Various forms of entities relinquish
This tomb to those who seek treasury
I fight to stay alive as hordes of demons surge
They whip and claw at my face as I cling to life
Immune to any actions taken thus far
Their only purpose: to consume and mutilate all

Taunting whispers echo in the halls of smothered tears
Stopped to face the door again
Basking in overwhelming fear
Fallen comrades bleeding at my feet
What have they done?
Opening the gates of hell to the horror within

Bound in steel in the bowels of this world
Creatures made of flesh and maggots
Primal instinct dictates action

Perpetual repulsion is a factor that instills my rage
Relinquished of all control

Relinquish all control
Relinquish your will and your soul

Relinquish!

Bittersweet truths always burn the tongues
Of those who wish to taste the terrors to come
Alas, an oracle of light brings salvation
The caretaker of this installation pulls me forth
Without a second glance at what fiercely follows
To the catacombs we go to end this all
