In Shadows Encloaked Lyrics


Behold - the Rampant Flame

the Rushing Torrent

the Ripping Sky

the Heaving Earth

the Shrinking Heavens

the Gaping Hells

The End of All Time!

Blood of sacrifice ciphered the songs

in Books of Chaos, Books of Flames,

of Shadows and Shells, with raw throats sung

in accursed tongues ... a Thousand Dead Names!

Lo, the Locks on the Gates do rust

with each scarlet drop that wets the dust

...to limn forbidden signs

and force foul stars to align

to break the Cosmic chains that bind

the Dreaming Dead in depths confined!

That which now stands

May sink

and what has sunk

may soon rise

when the Gods of Man

wither in fear

as formless shadows

swarm the skies...

Flesh burned as incense, live, writhing on coals

Roaring black waves flood,

A thousand throats cut with blessed blades

for the Hunger of the... Idiot God!

Now Hinge and Lock succumb to rust

Wind ignites and dirt combusts

Tentacles rape the world with forceful thrusts

that pull the guts from Earth's crust

No bracing the Gates against Their ancient hate

The prophecy is writ

A thousand occulted years of bloody prayers

Their power grows

Just beyond the Gate, yes, They lie in wait

at the brink of the Pit

Do you feel their stare? They're ever lurking near

in shadows encloaked
