In Shadows Encloaked
Behold - the Rampant Flame
the Rushing Torrent
the Ripping Sky
the Heaving Earth
the Shrinking Heavens
the Gaping Hells
The End of All Time!
Blood of sacrifice ciphered the songs
in Books of Chaos, Books of Flames,
of Shadows and Shells, with raw throats sung
in accursed tongues ... a Thousand Dead Names!
Lo, the Locks on the Gates do rust
with each scarlet drop that wets the dust
...to limn forbidden signs
and force foul stars to align
to break the Cosmic chains that bind
the Dreaming Dead in depths confined!
That which now stands
May sink
and what has sunk
may soon rise
when the Gods of Man
wither in fear
as formless shadows
swarm the skies...
Flesh burned as incense, live, writhing on coals
Roaring black waves flood,
A thousand throats cut with blessed blades
for the Hunger of the... Idiot God!
Now Hinge and Lock succumb to rust
Wind ignites and dirt combusts
Tentacles rape the world with forceful thrusts
that pull the guts from Earth's crust
No bracing the Gates against Their ancient hate
The prophecy is writ
A thousand occulted years of bloody prayers
Their power grows
Just beyond the Gate, yes, They lie in wait
at the brink of the Pit
Do you feel their stare? They're ever lurking near
in shadows encloaked
the Rushing Torrent
the Ripping Sky
the Heaving Earth
the Shrinking Heavens
the Gaping Hells
The End of All Time!
Blood of sacrifice ciphered the songs
in Books of Chaos, Books of Flames,
of Shadows and Shells, with raw throats sung
in accursed tongues ... a Thousand Dead Names!
Lo, the Locks on the Gates do rust
with each scarlet drop that wets the dust
...to limn forbidden signs
and force foul stars to align
to break the Cosmic chains that bind
the Dreaming Dead in depths confined!
That which now stands
May sink
and what has sunk
may soon rise
when the Gods of Man
wither in fear
as formless shadows
swarm the skies...
Flesh burned as incense, live, writhing on coals
Roaring black waves flood,
A thousand throats cut with blessed blades
for the Hunger of the... Idiot God!
Now Hinge and Lock succumb to rust
Wind ignites and dirt combusts
Tentacles rape the world with forceful thrusts
that pull the guts from Earth's crust
No bracing the Gates against Their ancient hate
The prophecy is writ
A thousand occulted years of bloody prayers
Their power grows
Just beyond the Gate, yes, They lie in wait
at the brink of the Pit
Do you feel their stare? They're ever lurking near
in shadows encloaked
