Elegy of R'lyeh

"I have seen the black universe yawning
Where the black planets rule without aim
Where they roll in their horrors unheeded
Without knowledge or lustre or name"

As the first ray of the sun
Surrenders to silver shores
Underneath the blue
Between a tale or truth
You can hear a mourning, solitude and sadness

I gaze to the cliffs
Oh, I remember, yes I do
How they long to see the light
Each of their days is night
And no one can imagine
The blackened place where they linger, oh

In agony and pain
Waiting for a sign
And from far horizons
You hear a song floating over the sea

For thousand years we cried
Under the waves
Our life to regain
The gates of despair open wide
Welcome to our paradise

One million tears we cried in pain
One million fears we bear
From the ones with eyes
Like bleeding dawn

So long we linger over dreams
So many times declined
To a scarlet rush
To praise the one

Before the world's creation
Descend from horrid primeval aeons

He left a gift for mankind

Destruction, decay, ecstasy
Usher in the fall of modesty

When northern lights gleaming beneath frozen cliffs

And when all stars align
Unspoiled from the eyes of the mortal
In his blackened graves
He waits to revive one more time

For thousand years we cried
Under the waves
Our life to regain
The darkness holds us tight
Oh, like a prisoner in time

For thousand years we lied
In our graves
All hope was in vain
To enter the gates of the night
Welcome to our paradise

"There hath he lain for ages and will lie
Battening in huge sea worms in his sleep
Until the fire shall heat the deep
Then once by man to be seen
In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die"

Now all stars align
All oceans start to seethe
A gleaming beneath the waves appears
I feel them come

Hail ye gods of the ancient world
Let your rain of blood come unto us
Mighty father of darkness rise
Drown all foundations with your blackened guise
And all life shall fade forevermore

For thousand years we cried
Under the waves
Our life to regain
Walk through the gates of despair
Welcome to our paradise

For thousand years we cried
Under the waves
Our life to regain
Walk through the gates of the night
Welcome to our paradise
