lyrics

There is an ancient whisper
Spoken in muted tongue
Of hidden cities, deities locked within
Of Depraved cultists worshipping their absent god
Primordial chaos chained beneath the world

Eldritch horror awaits
A thousand voices echo
Steeped in ichor, in blood and depravity

Grotesque machinations
Scheming abominations
Seeding twisted vistas
Seeking to escape

They ruled the world
He will come again

A vision devoid of hope
I cling to sanity

In the forest
Of a thousand young
A shapeless form stirs

Like tendrils
It's will unbound
Corrupting the weak
And preying on their dread

I hear his call ever louder
Drawing me to the edge the sea
An eruption of fire and despair
Then I watched as the ash rained down from the sky
He rises from his wretched sleep
Calling his forgotten children, in servitude
He rises from his wretched sleep
Unnatural, abhorrent creation

Blood sacrifice,
Runes inscribed,
Hooded guise,

They kneel before Thy horror cosmic
Their tears turn to blood
Their joy turns to dread
The faithful ascend
Reborn grotesque
Twisted husks remain of their human form
Deceived for eternal life
Monstrous forms emerge
Writhing and screaming
Their minds become one

In the city of the damned
The dead god sleeps
