Song Lyrics

Ruminations from the Six Pyramids of Cydonia:

This red charnel pit of primal horror
Howling black ecstasies to the void
Ancient and divine, older than the hidden Icosahedron, now rebirthed beyond the chaosphere
Rise, rise and destroy!
Hatred, carnage, slaughter, havoc, chaos, murder!
I am become the devourer of all life!

Phobos, Deimos! The moons' rays liquified in these blood red pyramids
In the shrines of abomination, black tongues rapt with blasphemy
Chaosphere, watchtowers, genesis, Cydonia
The Abyss yawns wide!
Spirit of the carrion-thronged battlefield, open wide thy gate!

Colossal shapes etched against the moons, supine obeisance 'fore the mound
Accursed fiends, hail the Slitherer, abhorrent jaws drooling lunacy

The Abyss yawns wide
Claws sharpened on the dead
The Abyss yawns wide
Ensanguined fangs agleam

Great shadow, awaken and eclipse the suns of a thousand worlds
Slumbering 'neath these crimson vaults, behold the majesty of the Outer Darkness!
Praise the Z'xulth!

Fell Worm of the Black Galaxy
Awaken and descend without pity upon the Tellurian sphere!
Destroy the flaccid priests of the newborn usurper faiths
Sweep away the thralls of the cruciform stave!
Crush the lackeys of the corrupted hexagram!
Devour the slaves of the eastern crescent!

Crush them, grind them, slay them all!
Plague-blessed, flay them alive!

Now, behold in terror what waits beneath the crimson vaults of Cydonia

Byron A. Roberts, Christopher Maudling
