STRANGE AEONS -Instrumental- "Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn"
2.
THE MELANCHOLY OF R.C. He once had dreams of the unknown When he was ten years old, or so Strange and ancient cities around Faraway gardens with 2 suns above... Life gets so hollow Dreams are fading out Visions become dull Slowly turn into void Why did it go? Fantasy glow Where is it now? The Gate to his home.. He hates men for what they’ve done Cutting him from delusions From where he really belongs Then one night came the revelation Locked in a mystic carved oak box The Key to the lands he had lost... Longing sensation Psychic ascension Prophetic visions Remnants of strange aeons Why did it go? Oniric throb Where is it now? the Gate to his home Read too much things as they are Talked with too many people All is now too logical Wonder’s gone out of the world Why did it go? Fantasy glow Where is the way? To the dreamlands H.P. Lovecraft : "There are twists of time and space, of vision and reality, which only a dreamer can divine" All is clear, he needs to find The Snake Den from his childhood Where the mighty gate there lies To use the key, to embrace his youth Randolph Carter : "Embrace my youth..."

SILVER TWILIGHT LODGE Gathering : "We are waiting down there But we are legion Concealed into darkness Plotting a black revenge We were always there From the mists of time Cultists, please do gather Let’s forge black designs !" They’ll open a breach in time Cultists : "We will summon Great Old Ones" They need human sacrifices Cultists : "For one gate, one dies" Iä, Iä, Hail to you that wait and dream In your undersea house Iä, Iä, Mother Hydra Please do spawn billions of Deep Ones Stand up and chant loud Silver Twilight Lodge ! Shades of dark gods Rise and spread over us And when they come down Reign of men will crash down Myth and folklore Come to life and will rule They will travel to Yuggoth Cultists : "We will unfold dimensions" From the Silver Twilight Lodge (Chorus)

THE PART OF THEM IN ME There was a town Once so wholesome Far away, far away There was a time When the Order brought them Men lost their minds Daughters were the request Went astray, far away Gold and jewels bounty The Elder sign Keeps us safe from This dreadful trial That soils our blood And will doom our scions Unnatural forever bond Elder sign... keep our souls away RC : "The curse of the ocean... Some might say You are one of them You are wearing the mask Of an unholy alliance, long ago... But when I look into your starry eyes I only see true passion Instead of aberration" Asenath Waite : "Signs like these Can’t be deceptive ‘Bout what I am And sometimes I gaze on the ocean Knowing one day I’ll dive in And return to it" HPL : "She was dark, smallish and very good looking, except for overprotuberant eyes. Something in her expression alienated sensitive people. It was her origin which caused average folk to avoid her." RC : "You never speak about her The veiled woman that you call mother You seem to fear her Now I feel that time is running out She’ll take you away From me, down there, among them To help the coming of Great Old Ones" AW : "Signs like these Can’t be deceptive ‘Bout what I am And sometimes I gaze on the ocean Waiting for my genes to awake It drives me crazy" AW : These eyes turn black RC : I can’t see through ‘em no more AW : The mask breaks out RC : What lies beyond it ? AW : "Come what may, every day There’s a part of them in me Come what may, every day They control a part of me" The Elder sign postpones the inevitable My instinct bolts again I cannot fight anymore" He will come back Bringing you doom Stars will align This is due soon RC : "The day comes close now, when these creatures will come out of the sea, spreading their loathsome smell over the world, annihilating humanity. But the worst of my fear is to see a familiar face among them : You..." (Chorus) AW : "Come what may, every day There’s a part of them in me Come what may, every day The part of them in me will win" There was a town... Once so wholesome... There was a time... Men lost their minds...

SEEDS OF DECAY Shiny blurry light Slowly fills his eyes As he wakes, back from horror Alone he lies Venturing beyond Oriab, Celephais, Inganok and Leng He saw our fall Foolish denials lead madness to rise within Open your eyes, Tear them off and you’ll see Can’t they feel the signs of What’s beside and coming? The human spark has Fade to dark in silence At the present times, Death may die in advance Didn’t they sow the seeds of decay? He cannot stand them all Bubbling up inside Nearly ready to explode (Roaming into darkness) Breathing their fetid soiled air Is quite an unbearable ache Reckless, careless, full of hatred, Arrogant, whimsical, (Murderous, decadent) Their fault, their crime Now they’ll do the time And fear is the right price to pay (Confiteor Deo Deo Confiteor deo omnipotenti) The more we are, the weaker we are, The more we decline Scattered dissociated knowledge Covers faces with a veil Babylon’s burning away Some do evil, the others lie low Cutting their own veins Bloodshot red eyes He only wishes they all die out in pain HPL : "Who knows the end? What has risen may sink, and what has sunk may rise. Loathsomeness waits and dreams in the deep, and decay spreads over the tottering cities of men. A time will come, but I must not and cannot think..." (Chorus)

WHEN THE STARS COME RIGHT Long before first men come Gears of time dwelled on An unusual layout Astral ballet then stopped And the stars were right for Them Now the worst is to come Cause the stars come round again One morning like any other He stands up from the ground Again the night made him bewildered The dreams have been so odd So exhausting, it drains life from him It lasts for several weeks now It’s affecting his work His philo essay slowly becomes a Novel of horror So dramatic, his lines scare him stiff A force directs him, stars are aligning Music comes to the violist With otherworldly notes Voices guide the sculptor hands To horrifying curves The stars come right Once he heard of a mute poet that Had the same symptoms Panic would seize both of them If they could compare notes Then they could see Stars are aligning Music comes to the violist With otherworldly notes Voices guide the sculptor hands To horrifying curves Terrified is the painter coming Across his last night draft Madness will sooth the savage fear when All the stars come right RC : “Did you ever have that dream? In which you run down the ruins of a strange city, among cyclopean rubbles, under a black night, in which you shiver at every shadow... But then you feel the ground rumble and crumble under your feet, as you quicken your pace, without even turning your head back because you know a heap of tentacles is chasing you” Now he gets that his dreams are real And that time is so short Sensitive mind man he still is A prophet of their call He can foresee, stars are aligning (Chorus)

CRAWLING CHAOS HPL : "And shadowed on a screen, I saw hooded forms amidst ruins, and yellow evil faces peering from behind fallen monuments. And I saw the world battling against blackness; against the waves of destruction from ultimate space; whirling, churning; struggling around the dimming, cooling sun..." Storms, never seen in years Mysterious events told A nameless curse comes from the core Thrills from the ocean’s abyss Reports of oddities found Mutations occur on the shores Horrors are coming from their nests Leading whole mankind to Shake with fear Acidic Flying polyps From Yuggoth come the Fungis The echoes whisper death and rot Unsealed... When comes the time (Hundred faces watching you) Our world will die out Now comes the tide (Infamous worshipers of sorrow) They’ll crush our foundations Annihilate our fragile dominion Can’t you see ? (Crawling Chaos) Don’t you feel ? (Crawling Chaos) Is this real ? (Crawling Chaos) His age-old mystic plan is on Hellish hound of steam Sneaking out the corners A threat that defies dimensions Multi-cellular protoplasmic Floating entities Blasphemous abominations Horrors are coming from their nests Leading whole mankind to shake with fear Acidic Flying polyps From Yuggoth come the Fungis Larvae hatch from ancient alien breed When comes the time (Hundred faces watching you) Our world will die out Absence of light (Infamous worshipers of sorrow) Running as they moan ‘Cause now we’re on our own, our own ! Oooh - Through twilight cosmic ways He comes and goes Oooh - Using thousands shapes To crush your hopes Tentacle headed giant Dark storm or putrid fog Gelatinous mass or pharaoh Worshippers gathered at your door (Chorus) Can’t you see ? (Crawling Chaos) Don’t you feel ? (Crawling Chaos) Is this real ? (Crawling Chaos) His age-old plan has now begun

THE SNAKE DEN Automn fire : Weird marvels waiting Beyond the orchard Hurtling down The slope of the forest He somehow turns back into a child Confusion rises as he draws near This strange cave folk shuns Voice of old times seems to call him : Silver key’s magic at work Only God could stop him now But from this world he seems absent Beneath boundaries of life Limbo lies all around Leave mental health aside You won’t need it at all Strange shapes speak to your mind Unveiling creation To this oniric site The snake-den is a door A trapfall Ensnaring you forever An end comes to his search for the truth More than his own life, He values the stars Despite all, he wants to know The dreaded Guide is showing Better be penitent So says the Necronomicon "I face You now with no fear" Says the time traveller Guide : "We have awaited you too long" RC : "I will advance, unveil wonders" Before revealing to him The greatest of the secrets Better think if it’s worthing it He’ll surely lose what he is Among his multitude If he wants to sink in deeper Guide : "You’ll take my place You’ll keep the Gates" In front of the Guide, waiting for him Still he’s gnawed by doubt The Ultimate Gate is upon him Bestowing him omniscience Only God could stop him now But here there’s no such thing as God (Chorus) A trapfall Lying down in Underworld Ensnaring you forever

LOST IN TIME AND SPACE (Kyrie Eleison For aeons he rules From atop R’lyeh the Dead For aeons he slept Now his prison is to break) As he floats still In this higher dimension Feigning his indecision He looks back one last time To all that made he was him To all that made his own life Now the Ultimate Gate attracts him Sucks him in to a never-return path Now he sees all the lights And understands it all Part of cosmos design He now rules underworld But among all this might There’s a vision of horror All in One and One in All He’s facing Yog-Sothoth ! He feels his identity fleeing He is no one now, erased from memories From history of men RC : "I am part of it now I understand the true nature Of the universe I can affect the course of time I can even... move the stars! They won’t be aligned anymore And He will be trapped forever! " You must leave when you love And he loved this Earth Despite all its flaws Disembodied astral form He is now, to save us all Lost his life He has lost his soul But Great Old Ones Will sleep once more
