While traveling the road to Dunwich So many dark years ago It was then that I heard it From above came the Fathers call It was heard in the night Out on Sentinel Hill Where it is said the Gods live still On Sentinel Hill Figures were dancing and celebrating something unknown It would happen on this night Yog-Sothoth would arise On this Samhain night, Behold...He arrives Yog-Sothoth arise! My mind quivers at the thought of what I saw A break in reality A gate to outer spheres And descending from the crack The crack in the unreal skies Came a tendril of cyclopean size I remember people running From their homes outside to see As the horror from above Descended to the streets It did happen on this night Yog-Sothoth did arise On that hell born night My god, time to die It was then that I did run From the son who called his Fathers name The one who is the gate Yog-Sothoth! Yog-Sothoth! Yog-Sothoth!!!

Rise, from the waters beyond the reef Rise, Dagons children of the deep From the sea to mate with man The offspring are damned I've seen, on dark nights near Devils Reef The sight of Deep Ones Blasphemous fish-frogs in the streets They call out names, queer and strange Cthulhu fhtagn....Dagon! It comes out with a choke The chanting of this esoteric cult I've seen in the waters beyond the reef Shadows, shadowy figures in the deep From my lineage I cannot run I am to become one Dagon!

Tendrils of terror and tentacles of doom Outstretched appendages dancing across the moon Flailing massive limbs Drenched in ooze and slime From another dimension Another space and time Constricting like a python Your bones are snapped in half Severed circulation Blood has lost it's path The abominations wrath!! Stabbing through a ventricle A pulsating tentacle Tendrils emerge from every place Slaughtering the human race Witness the destruction The brutal aftermath The ancient ones rejoice and let loose their evil laugh
5.
A dreamer dreams of a place beyond A distant city hidden by the gods And as he wakes tears fill his eyes There must be a way to reach this paradise So tonight in his dreams he will devise His path to reach atop Kadath and rise To the sea, beyond the mountains to the plain of Leng Traveling to a distant shore Past ancient Celephais to the strange port city Where black galleys wait And to the moon he will go To see the things no man does know But young Carters is journey is not at an end And the ends of this world he will find himself He will see the things no man alive has ever seen And witness the end of this dream
