Work is done, and lights are gone
Behind closed doors, by candles gloom
Don the robes, exfoil the scrolls
Smells of wax and sounds of chant
Upon this table by humanities hand
A summoning
The minds of man paint pictures yet
Of things unreal, of gods
Of blood and death
Of spirit and madness

Torn Apart
03:38
|

Mankind tries to stop decline
A rush into hedonistic lives
Brighter colours, capital increase
Rushing towards disaster
A bubble of life about to burst
Fabric of reality stretched out to exhaustion
New ideas, ever breaking norms
Aspiration to change the world
Faster ever faster seeking out life
Life and death beyond their wildest dreams
Opening the gates
Two-faced progress
Possibilities unfold
A rift it manifests
The world torn apart
In the name of mankind
And in the name of
Doom
Two Worlds
They drift apart
Above, these radiant men
And below, terror
By every inch of progress
Despair shall increase
A tower, ever higher built
Its collapse will tear the world apart
The year is 1927
Anticipating the despair of the masses
Occult powers construct a monolith fed by fear
Readying the way for powers beyond
Defiled and denied
The most broken souls, their stars align
Their minds fueled by despair
Emptying their hearts
Into the void
They shall not rest
The gates shall open
Distortion of reality
This bubble it will burst
And it will spill insanity
The gates shall open
The end of our reality
The world, as it had been known
Will be torn apart

Inside the Walls

Osmotic penetration
Filling emptniess
Close to human warmth
Beckoned into this world
Diverse menagerie of
Nightstalking beasts
Neverfathomed star-eyed titans
Their offspring in search for blood
Tearing at the rifts of reality
Boring their claws into this world
Inside the walls
Monsters lurk
Pressing hard
Forcing their way
Inside our world
To cause dismay
To kill and maim
And to prepare the
Bloodfeast
We are cattle
Sustenance
For nightmares
Skittering tarsi
Feet and claws
Your wall cavities
Fill up with mass
Don't you smell it?
The sweetness of rot?
The safety of your home gone
They are inside the walls!
Borders of reality now so weak
Can't you hear them scratching?
Not much longer now, not much longer
You need to get out, get out!
In corners your lights never saw
The corners of your eyes
They come from inside the walls
To devour you
All

Fire and Steel

This gun rack stacked with power
Gleaming wood and rifled shafts
Mundane weaponry of mankind
Conscripted to a higher cause
To fend off otherworldy
Terrifying monstrosities
Penetrate extraterrestial hide
Bless these fiends with lead
Pierce the seams of
Demonic organs
Smash into their skulls
Projectiles gleam with fire
The fire of
Humanities redemption
Blade of ancient origin
Well kept and well shined
Sharpened by
The blood of a hundred men
Insignia of polished gold
Conducting the current of will
Finally, a worthy occasion
Penetrate extraterrestial hide
Bless these fiends with anguish
Cut the seams of
Demonic organs
Slice into their skulls
Edges gleam with fire
The fire of
Humanities redemption
Fire and Steel

You Will Fail
03:58

Take the shot
Buy the lot
Wipe it down
Never frown
Genuine smile
Cunning guile
Be prepared
Caffeine, cocaine,
Stay awake
and
Supress the way you fingers shake
Double Check
Reinspect
Firmly grasp
Just make sure
Reread
Rewrite
Erase again
Absolutely crucial
That you
Search your bags
Count your mags
Reload
Take more ammunition than you need
Absolute control
Eyes everywhere
If you ever trusted a friend
Be prepared for their betrayal
No matter how much time you spend
You will fail
No matter the strength of your will
No matter if you cry and wail
No matter how many monsters you kill
You will fail
Pick the lock
Throw the rock
Cut the rope
Never ever start to think about hope
Crack the ice
Wipe your eyes
Disinfect
Take every key and mark your tracks
Lock the door
once, twice
Ignore their roar
Shoot into their head
Once, twice
Keep your knife in hand just in case
And kill everyone who might've seen your face
Absolute control
Eyes everywhere
If you ever trusted a friend
Be prepared for their betrayal
No matter how much time you spend
You will fail
No matter the strength of your will
No matter if you cry and wail
No matter how many monsters you kill
You will fail
Sooner or later you will fail
Ultimately you will fail

Staying above the tides of pain
In this careening boat made of flesh
Swim, ever on swim, hold on and cling
To a hope spelled out by distant lights
Destiny, fate, predetermination
Bars of steel set in place by
Astronomical entities
Why
Do not ask
Do not cry
Just accept and live our lie
Seek no out
Seek no escape
Just give in to your fate
My role predestined
How can I break these chains
Reality bends to their will
Shifts our path and stead
So close, so close to success
Yet arbitrary chance defies us
In the end we are nothing but slaves
To
Constellations of blazing light
Why
Do not ask
Do not cry
Just accept and live our lie
Seek no out
Seek no escape
Just give in to your fate
There is no escape for us
Just pawns in this game of dice
Predestined
(Is it just a word)
This world of terror
(Destined by whom)
Or are we just afraid to face our own
Responsibility in this insanity

Broken and Weary

Fumbling this little coin
Down the drain it goes
And with it my last hope
Of ever leaving this place
Their back turned to me
They say: "It is too much"
Behind them the door it shuts
Leaving me alone
Broken and weary
My hands scarred and stained red
Dried out, eyes and mind
At last, I embrace oblivion
A single drop of blood
At terminal velocity
Crashes into my heart
And shatters my last dream
This last undue punishment
Neurons finally unravel
Illusions and specters come to life
One million pieces, once my mind
Broken and weary
My hands scarred and bleeding
Dried out, eyes and mind
At last, I embrace oblivion
Broken and weary
My hands scarred and bleeding
Dried out, eyes and mind
At last, I embrace it
This
My final rest

Expedition team: Kane, Anderson, Hayes
No payment overbore fears in local guides
Nontheless they delve
Beneath
All their hopes despaired long ago
The way back collapsed by the weight of fear
So they go into the dark and below
Futile flashlights, chemlights, torches
None can quench the boundless dark
That strechtes out towards
Their faces, drenched in sweats, in smells
Ideal targets for blind hunters made of teeth
Though armed these targets are
And willing to commit
They delve
Delve deeper
Delve
And find your reward
Piercing rays against the eldritch hordes
Flesh boils away against
Blazing heat
Blessed by technology ageless
Weapon forged of cosmic diamond
Away the foulness melts
The first to fall is Anderson
Blinded by a wish for knowledge
Torn to pieces by lurking limbs beyond count
Rounds of lead tear holes in inhuman, twisted bodies beyond discernment
A vast cavern lights up
In the fiery blaze
Behold
Upon this blessed throne
Armaments beyond
Human recognition
Kane extends his hand
A glimmer of hope in his eyes
Hayes, at point blank range
Fires at his atlas
Piercing rays against the eldritch hordes
Flesh boils away under
Blazing heat
Blessed by technology ageless
Weapon forged of cosmic diamond
Away the foulness melts
Hayes has felt the universe
And all its recognition
Shall belong
To her alone

Neuron activity light transmits
Eyes, black holes
Grasp your reality
Engulf embrace omnipresence
Every mind fills up with the black waters
Of a consciousness unlike their own
Madness
Madness arisen
Madness
R'lyeh has arisen
Horizon is full
A shape most inhuman
Stars extinguish as wings spread
Light fails as does warmth
In the presence of this
Blood like the ocean
A mind like the sun
Limbs made of atmosphere
Sonic sublimial tremors
All of this world
All of this world
Dust in the storm of a breath
Madness
Madness arisen
Madness
R'lyeh has arisen
Ultimate extinction event looms
Rebirth of a being unfathomed
Now it is its will against ours

Reveal this last card
The game will end either way
Roll the last die
The game will end either way
Beat the odds and win
The game will end either way
Find your promised end
The game will end either way
Did you save humanity
The game will end either way
Did madness consume you
The game will end either way
