Lyrics

“In Shadow (NyarLaThoTep)”

O Hear me recite the incantation.
See a creeping spectral fog,
shroud this congregation.
Invoke thy ancient name aloud.
Light the sacred flame.
The offering is burnt.
And the smoke will rise.

Then the North winds will gather.
Small creatures all scatter.
Aphyllous trees,
sway in the breeze.
Now you see the clouds part.
And the blood moon eclipsed.
The spell is now cast.
Awakened at last.

NyarLaThoTep!

A new day will dawn.
The Black beast will rise.
To walk the trembling earth
Beneath a treacherous sky.

Lay waste to this city,
The town and the village.
Defiled and devoured.
Your paradise pillaged.

Behold! The End is here!
Now face Everything that you fear.
Now Everything that you once held so dear is gone.

The doorway has opened wide.
Your foolish acolytes will run & hide.
Your perfidious double deals will fail.
You’ll beg forgiveness to no avail.

As we disciples
of malevolent stars.
Summon the elder gods
from near and far.
Born of primordial unnamed elements.
From the Kingdom of Crawling Chaos.
Hearken! You false prophets,
with your ammonia gospel of conformity.
We hereby renounce,
our feeble father.
And abdicate thy gilded throne.
(Hear me now!)

We call to the outer realms,
And into the gaping unknown.
We trace the Space between atoms.
We harvest your flesh & your bone.
For we shall irrigate thy soil,
With blood.
And thus consecrate,
This fallow ground.
Sanctified by the sound,
Of our cries.

NyarLaThoTep!

In shadows you dwell
While Babylon fell
Now mark well the Great Flood.
Let it rage once again,
Wash over the cities of men,
A glorious deluge of blood,
Let it flow!
