Dagon (feat. Raphael Gazal & Jonas Schütz)
The sun is falling behind
Τhe hills I see through my window
I feel my time here is clearly running out
And as I write these last words
Μy thoughts are too dark and horrid
As I recall my adventure
I'm reaching out to all mankind
During the war
When my ship
Was held captive
I managed to flee in a boat
No land in sight
Just the sky and the Atlantic
Desperately seeking for a shore
Sleeping from exhaustion in the sea
Dreaming of the seabed underneath
One day I woke up and was sucked into a slimy black mire
It seemed like the seabed had surfaced somehow
A vast marsh of black slime was spreading beneath my feet and
Dead fish were rotting under the blazing sun
I crawled into my stranded boat in fear
I stood still - there was nothing I could hear
The vanished sea had only left behind
The rotten stench of death that filled my mind
The night fell and I felt secure to explore this new land
To seek water and food and the means to escape
Once again but this time not from men but from madness and death
And from things that should not walk this earth
My eyes got used to the moonlight
That saved me from falling straight into a Stygian chasm
And across I could see a stone mass
That was tall as a building and carved with shapes older than man
There a beast emerged right from the depths just like a hellish god
One-eyed serpent face, it bowed it's head and made a monstrous roar
Next thing I knew I was lying in bed and
Around me where sailors with a doctor in charge
Their ship had found me adrift in the ocean
And they'd pulled me up
A sorry body dressed in rags
Still I wish all these were just a dream
A grim delusion stillborn in the sea
But when I turned my palms towards my face
I saw dark stains of tar marking my fate
Τhe hills I see through my window
I feel my time here is clearly running out
And as I write these last words
Μy thoughts are too dark and horrid
As I recall my adventure
I'm reaching out to all mankind
During the war
When my ship
Was held captive
I managed to flee in a boat
No land in sight
Just the sky and the Atlantic
Desperately seeking for a shore
Sleeping from exhaustion in the sea
Dreaming of the seabed underneath
One day I woke up and was sucked into a slimy black mire
It seemed like the seabed had surfaced somehow
A vast marsh of black slime was spreading beneath my feet and
Dead fish were rotting under the blazing sun
I crawled into my stranded boat in fear
I stood still - there was nothing I could hear
The vanished sea had only left behind
The rotten stench of death that filled my mind
The night fell and I felt secure to explore this new land
To seek water and food and the means to escape
Once again but this time not from men but from madness and death
And from things that should not walk this earth
My eyes got used to the moonlight
That saved me from falling straight into a Stygian chasm
And across I could see a stone mass
That was tall as a building and carved with shapes older than man
There a beast emerged right from the depths just like a hellish god
One-eyed serpent face, it bowed it's head and made a monstrous roar
Next thing I knew I was lying in bed and
Around me where sailors with a doctor in charge
Their ship had found me adrift in the ocean
And they'd pulled me up
A sorry body dressed in rags
Still I wish all these were just a dream
A grim delusion stillborn in the sea
But when I turned my palms towards my face
I saw dark stains of tar marking my fate
