The Altar is the Pit
IA! Nyarlathotep!
Only the flames of corpse tallow burning
illuminates the Temple of the Faceless God
Concealed from Sun and Moon and Stars
deep inside Earth's open scars
...and in corners shadows gather
to a tangible morass
They extend through Angles, poison tendrils
grim grip so firm and fast
The altar is the Pit and its exhalations
speak of rot and defunct life
A writhing shape rises up to our exaltations
and extends the envenomed knife...
"With this dagger will you slay the
World and further the reach of my
Hand; cast death on land and sea and
sand - slick my tongue with the blood of
Man..."
Thus we do his work
Rape, pillage, poison and murder
And in turn we learn
New ways of revelry, of sin, and slaughter!
Thus His Cult was formed,
a septic thorn in Creation's side
to fester, decay and deform
until the Gateway to the Other Side is gaping wide!
The altar is the Pit, Womb of Abomination
Birthing monstrosities and shades
The vehicles of Love and Light's extermination
Deadly as any bullet, bomb or blade
and it hungers for crimson libations
The liquor of perforated veins
It echoes psalms of the flesh and its mortification
Pronouncing Forbidden Names...
Call the Crawling Chaos...
The altar is the Pit and the Highest Below
His Majesty, the Black Sun of Night
Tender of the garden where nought can grow
The Blackest Black to taint the White
The altar is the Pit, depths that none can know
save in falling or Eternal Flight
Black Night calling, brightest sun appalling
Crawling Chaos clawing at the Light!
We call the Crawling Chaos!
Only the flames of corpse tallow burning
illuminates the Temple of the Faceless God
Concealed from Sun and Moon and Stars
deep inside Earth's open scars
...and in corners shadows gather
to a tangible morass
They extend through Angles, poison tendrils
grim grip so firm and fast
The altar is the Pit and its exhalations
speak of rot and defunct life
A writhing shape rises up to our exaltations
and extends the envenomed knife...
"With this dagger will you slay the
World and further the reach of my
Hand; cast death on land and sea and
sand - slick my tongue with the blood of
Man..."
Thus we do his work
Rape, pillage, poison and murder
And in turn we learn
New ways of revelry, of sin, and slaughter!
Thus His Cult was formed,
a septic thorn in Creation's side
to fester, decay and deform
until the Gateway to the Other Side is gaping wide!
The altar is the Pit, Womb of Abomination
Birthing monstrosities and shades
The vehicles of Love and Light's extermination
Deadly as any bullet, bomb or blade
and it hungers for crimson libations
The liquor of perforated veins
It echoes psalms of the flesh and its mortification
Pronouncing Forbidden Names...
Call the Crawling Chaos...
The altar is the Pit and the Highest Below
His Majesty, the Black Sun of Night
Tender of the garden where nought can grow
The Blackest Black to taint the White
The altar is the Pit, depths that none can know
save in falling or Eternal Flight
Black Night calling, brightest sun appalling
Crawling Chaos clawing at the Light!
We call the Crawling Chaos!
