SULPHUR AEON LYRICS

1. Cthulhu Rites

[Instrumental]

2. Incantation

From the stars above
From the sea below

I am calling upon thee
The ones who were before
The ones who will rise once more

Hear me, guardian of the gate
Teeming being Yog Sototh
Let me know his time to rise

Spawn of Yuggoth, emerge from cosmos
Abhorrent beings from the stars
Bearing aeons of sulphur and chaos
Feasting on earth, leaving scars

Hear me, fearless one, pharaoh of black
I summon thy name: Nyarlathotep
Crawling chaos emerging

Soul of old ones, the ultimate gods
Allegory and symbols of chaos
Cosmic knowledge implanted in our hearts
Writhing in death, evolving all wars

Starspawn awake, builder of his shrine
His nautic temple's architects
Drown our future, this planet is thine
Crush humankind like insects

Hear me, oh titan of the sea
Great Cthulhu, dreamer in the deep
Rise from thine aqueous grave

Cthulhu rising from R'lyeh
Marking the return of the great old ones

3. Inexorable Spirits

Seven they are, unknown to man
Neither heaven knows nor earth
In darkness they lurk beyond
And beneath dimension's gates

They are falling like rain
Rising like smoke from the ground
Conquering the towers
And strongholds of mankind
Still unknown to man and god
Yet trampling their cities to dust

Consummate the rites
Foundations of chaos align
Seven impure spirits rise

Idra, intruding through their heads
Namtar, intruding through their hearts
Utuk, intruding through their brows
Alal, intruding through their chests

They are falling like rain
Rising like smoke from the ground
Conquering the towers
And strongholds of mankind
Still unknown to man and god
Yet trampling their cities to dust

Inexorable spirits of doom

They are falling like rain
Rising like smoke from the ground
Conquering the towers
And strongholds of mankind
Still unknown to man and god
Yet trampling their cities to dust

Gigim, grasping through their bowels
Telal, taking their hands
Uruku, ghosts of the dead, drinking their blood

4. The Devil's Gorge

Shun the swamp, shun the dark
Don't walk astray
The friar's lanterns flickering lights
Will lead you off your way

The souls of the departed
At night they haunt the moor
Wail like wraiths in the woods
Sepulchral chant obscure

The devil's gorge, fathomless black pit
The devil's gorge, sanctum God forbid

Mires of no life, dwellers with no soul
Tumble through the white dead trees
Towards the baneful hole

Morass of lurking horrors
Place that must not be
Cries of anguish echo
Horrors unforeseen

The devil's gorge, fathomless black pit
The devil's gorge, sanctum God forbid

The gaping orifice reveals the pathway to the womb
Stare into the abyss and it gazes into you

Skin as pale as moonlight
Teeth as sharp as diamond shards
Creatures from beyond
Blackest minds and vilest hearts

Shuddering you turn away
Too late to close your eyes
A glimpse into sheer direness
Unleash your own demise

The devil's gorge, fathomless black pit
The devil's gorge, sanctum God forbid

5. Where Black Ships Sail

Setting the pitchblack sails
Onward into the unknown
Across the ocean of souls
Where creeping chaos dwells
To forbidden shores
I set my course
Under a starless sky

As the clouds disperse
Unveiling the unexpressible
Evocation of the ancients
The sea shall be my altar
I call thy names
Liberate me from sanity

Where black ships sail
Eerie sound the waves
Voices from the deep
Guide me into the abyss

With the black ships I will sail
On the darkest of all paths
The oceans shall consume my soul
As creeping chaos I'll be reborn
Traveler between the worlds
Of dream and death forever more

Where black ships sail
Eerie sound the waves
Voices from the deep
Long forgotten songs
As if drowning sirens call

6. Swallowed By The Ocean's Tide

Swallowed by the ocean's tide
Salty is the taste of death
Drawn down by the undertow
Into depths unseen before

In undead slumber with eyes open wide
Blasphemous iconoclasm to behold
As madness erupts in drowning cries
Sinking into that moisty grave below

Chaos! Visions plague the dying mind
Ancient temples on the bottom of the sea
Shunned and mystified by humankind
Where HE dwells in breathless sleep

Blurred and obscured is the sight
Asphyxiation, snapping of bones
Ruins rise as madness unfolds
Nameless shapes, rising tides

Seeing their temples and towers rise
Unveiled from their deep sea disguise
Behold their temples and towers rise
Vanity is lost, dead are his eyes

Swallowed by ocean's tide
Water drowns the final breath
Further down the water's swirl
Drawn into and endless abyss

7. Monolithic

Buried under a shroud of ice
In undead sleep they dwell
Waiting for their time to rise
Unseen, untouched, unclean

Monolithic ascension, strongholds of the unknown
Impaling the sky
Nameless architecture, monuments in black
From the deepest of all depths

Frozen temples, defying the claws of time
Cryptic choirs
Echoing winds, in unearthly tongues
Again they shall be

The stench of death and decay
Arousing their hunger
Emerging from their icy tomb
By night they come...

Buried under a shroud of ice
In undead sleep they dwell

Those who were before
Subterranean creatures
Crawling through the shadows
From unlight they arise...
Once again... they will reign
In Inferno

8. From The Stars To The Sea

cephalopodian race
enslaving amorphous life
kozmik konquerors
from the stars to the sea

beyond the frontiers of space
wormholes engorging time
secrets entombed beneath the stars
locked in dimensions of dread

cephalopodian race
enslaved amorphous life
kozmik konquerors
from the stars to the sea

within the minds of the unsane
out of the mouths of the undead
sailing the atmospheric waves
to conquer silurian soil

tentacles to slay the gods
tentacles to rule them all

tyrants from the infinite coldness of space
tyrants from the abyss of the deepest sea

tentacles to rise again
tentacles to build HIS realm
tentacles to rise again

cephalopodian race
enslaved amorphous life
kozmik konquerors
from the stars to the sea

sunken into ancient depths
silently ruling the palaeozoic sea
mollusced spawn from above
dreaming down in the deep

9. Those Who Dwell In Stellar Void

a place in permanent darkness
total absence of light
eyes degenerated
for nothing left to see
unknown senses intensified
touching the depths
obscure creation
bizarre beyond imagination

silent chantings in tongueless speech
formulas forgotten, forbidden... unwritten

the ancient gate is opened
the unseen longing the emerge
those who dwell in stellar void
awakened now what should not be...

those who never should have been!

from eroded realms
where even time has dies
nocturnal eternal dimension
unexplored the cataclysm lurks
unexpected wrath on devastation path
blasphemy reborn... in nonhuman form

as the sun breaks through the clouds
from the oceans they will rise
in pulsating slime reborn
from slime reborn
torn from blackened feverish dreams

the ancient gate's wide open
from Yuggoth they descend
those who dwell in stellar void
awake are those who should not be...

this world will fall...
this will be the end of it all
as the sea unveils
what never should have been
what never should be seen
by human eyes

silent chantings in tongueless speech
formulas forgotten, forbidden...
unwritten

10. Beneath. Below. Beyond. Above.

no spawn so fierce as of those who sleeo
deep withing their watery resting place
no weapon would harm their skin
no man shall be left on what has once been theirs

the trial of time congregates in ancient spores
wisdom of the ages, forgotten and entombed

not to be witnessed by any mortal's eye
chaos drips from every step of the time

beneath. below. beyond. above.
the fusion of dimensions ignites
when sulphur rapes the atmosphere
our crimes resound in bleeding skies

caressed by fouling arms
aroused by tentacle kiss
bestowed upon mankind
the inheritance of those
who lurk beyond the doors
of space and time

not to be witnessed by any mortal's eye
chaos drips from every step of time

beneath. below. beyond. above.
the fusion of dimensions ignites
when sulphur rapes the atmosphere
our crimes resound in bleeding skies

ascending from the sea
descending from the sky
arranging the lines of chaos
levitating - coming adrift from beyond

beheath. below. beyond. above.
the fusion of dimensions ignites
when sulphur rapes the atmosphere
our crimes resound in bleeding skies

chaos, destruction
seizing mankind

evil, disturbance
rising up high
