Shadow Out of Time
03:57
|
|||
Cyclopean ruins
With strange runes
Ancient City
Far past it's doom
Headed for
that sacred room
past and future's
archival tomb
Shadow out of time
Corridors my dream's defined
shadow out of time
memories or a maddened mind
through familiar
halls I ran
home of those
from before man
long ababdoned
below the sands
history of earth
written in my hand
Five years
in another's sleeve
while they
walked around as me
I talked to
beings long deceased
and others
who've yet to be
Shadow out of time
Corridors my dream's defined
shadow out of time
memories or a maddened mind

Soothsayer
04:15
|

How Can I say
what I have seen?
If I told you
you'd not believe
the details too strange
far too obscene
even too obscure
to've come from dreams
My memories haunt me
in the night, I get high, to get by
A sane man would only stare
as I cry, "end is nigh," they pass by
We're being watched
but no one knows
creatures from other planes
nobody's alone
these strange beings
they want our souls
our future's fading
the death knell tolls
we're out of time
the end is nigh

Pickman's Model
04:31
|
|||
I couldn't go there
i do not know the way
though i've been there
the place where pickman stayed
you've seen his art
you've seen the paintings
depicting creatures too far
from reality's containing
marvelous creation, horrid abominations
scenes from Armageddon not even from a maddened mind
captured without error, portraits of hate and terror
things haven't fared well, richard pickman they won't find
He showed me round that place
I saw his unholy mastery
terror took hold my face
I couldn't describe what I've seen
the demon in the paint
It stared into my soul
took everything not to faint
Pickman's model was a photo
Pickman's missin
they wont find hime
Richard Pickman
something got him

Wisdom of Woe of Madness
05:38
|
|||
There is a wisdom that is woe; but there is a woe that is madness. And there is a Catskill eagle in some souls that can alike dive down into the blackest gorges, and soar out of them again and become invisible in the sunny spaces. And even if he for ever flies within the gorge, that gorge is in the mountains; so that even in his lowest swoop the mountain eagle is still higher than other birds upon the plain, even though they soar.
Do you soar?
Have you achieved more than others inside the realm of man?
This is no feat, for to truly soar is to break free the confines of reality.
I seek the realms beyond man, despite being their kin. I wish to transcend the monotheist world and become not only a pagan, but to take seat in the pantheon.
Falling into madness am I? Yes falling indeed, far from the peak of my potential but still a heavenly body fathoms above. The entire world below me as I plumit and the clouds will break my fall. they may kill me there and my blood will rain down, falling upon the realists watching from below. With respect or not, they shall know my name, for fame and infamy are renown all the same.

Stranger in Reality
04:30
|
|||
Woke up today
world in dismay
sickness and grief
strange beings
dull lifeless color
no notice of each other
no travel it seems
there's nothing left to seek
I want to go back to my dreams
I'm a Stranger in reality
to everyone I yell and scream
"this is not reality"
To Ulthar have you been?
you don't know what I mean?
can't talk to cats
accused of using crack
"your tales are fantasy
you watch too much TV"
real world's in my sleep
When I wake I weep
I want to go back to my dreams
I'm a Stranger in reality
to everyone I yell and scream
"this is not reality"
I want to go back to my dreams
I'm a Stranger in reality
the people want to commit me
cause this is not my reality

The Lord's Prayer
|
||||
7. |
||||
Tonight we gather here
for a ritual of fear
we call up to the sky
so that the world may die
we're waiting for the day
where we can bring dismay
cthulhu once and for all
we pray abolish morals
Cthulhu fhtagn
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn

Disbelief
05:02
|

If I told you my mind traveled time would you believe me?
If I told you of eldrige horrors would you believe me?
If I told you that I've seen demons would you believe me?
Of course not
I must be crazy
You didn't see it
It can't be true
If I told you loved ones beat me would you believe me?
If I told you I was molested would you believe me?
If I told you I had been raped would you believe me?
Don't you believe me?
No, I'm not crazy
you didn't see it
but it's true
You don't believe me
could I be crazy?
you didn't see it
was it true?
of course not...
I must be crazy...
you didn't see it...
it can't be true...
