THERGOTHON LYRICS

1. Elemental

[SEPTEMBER-NOVEMBER 1991]

BLACK CLOUDS COLIDE UNTIL THE STORM IS READY TO BURST
WAVES RISE FROM THE SEA AND THE SWELLS STRETCH UP TO THE SKY
HILLS TREMBLE IN AGONY AS THE EARTH IS TO YAWN
THE MIST TURNS TO SMOKE WHEN THE FLAMES LICK THE MATERIA

"THE POWERS OF THE SEA SEA, THE EARTH, THE WINDS AND THE FIRE,
CAN YOU HEAR MY CHANT?"

FALL ASLEEP, FALL INTO DARKNESS
ELEMENTAL POWERS BREAK THE CHAIN
FALL ETERNAL THROUGH THE PITS OF TIME
SPIRITUAL DESECRATION

"THAT IS NOT DEAD WHICH CAN ETERNAL LIE
AND WITH STRANGE AEONS EVEN DEATH MAY DIE." [ABDUL ALHAZRED]

"INVISIBLE HANDS GROPE AT MY THROAT
THOSE EYES STARING AT ME. . . WHAT A MISERY. . ."

A DIMENSIONAL SHAMBLER TOOK HIM BEYOND THE BOUNDS
(OF DIMENSIONS)

2. Evoken

[APRIL-MAY 1991]

THE WINDS FROM THE ABYSS OF THE NIGHT
BLOW OUT THE CANDLES
FROM BEYOND THE SOURCES OF TIME

FLY THROUGH THE AIR
AS NEAR IS FAR AND FAR IS NEAR
LIGHT IS DARK AND DARK IS LIGHT
I AM IT AND IT IS ME

THE GATE TO THE VISIONS
FROM BEYOND OUR TIME AND SPACE
I CAN SEE THROUGH ITS EYES
THE WINGS OF DAMNATION

ABYSMAL MALEVOLENCE SURROUND
AFTER-VISIONS FROM THE LIGHTNING STRUCK
SURROUND

NOW THE GATES ARE OPEN FOR YOG-SOTHOTH.

3. Yet The Watchers Guard

[JUNE-AUGUST 1991]

THE TOWERS THEY STAND SO TALL AND PROUD
AT THE PLANES OF THE PLANETS OF MADNESS

THE REALM OF WIND AND THE DARKENED DEITIES
THE BLACK GOAT OF THE WOODS WITH THE THOUSAND YOUNG

THE WATCHERS BEYOND THE UNIVERSE
THE EYES TO HIDDEN DIMENSIONS

ENORMOUS BUILDINGS OF SLIMY BLACK STONE
BUILT BY HANDS NOT SIMILAR TO MAN
ON A BLACK STAR NEAR ALDEBARAN
TWISTED SKY OF POISON CLOUDS

"DESPITE THE WASTE OUTLOOK THIS REGION IS INHABITED
THE UNHOLY PRESENCE OF THESE ANCIENT BEINGS

IS ALMOST TOUCHABLE
THEY CAN NEITHER SEE THEM NOR TOUCH THEM, BUT YOU CAN

FEEL THEM PRESENT AT ALL THE TIMES
AND YOU CAN SMELL THEM, SMELL THEIR FOUL PRESENCE. . ."

WATCHERS UNDERSTAND
YET THEY GUARD

4. The Twilight Fade

[APRIL-SEPTEMBER 1991]

FROM THE EARTH RISE WINDS THAT CHILL OUR OLD BONES
WE SEE THROUGH MY EYES THOSE STATUES OF FROZEN LIFE
WE HEAR THROUGH MY EARS THE SCREAMS FADE TO THE FROST

AND NOW AS THE FLAMES ARE FROZEN
WE DIVE TO THE LAKE OF ICE
AS THE TWILIGHT FADES AWAY WE DROWN
WE DROWN AND WE HEAR THE CALL
