In the city of madness They lie in the slumber of ages Aeons before the first men they came and brought their images with them Haunting the dreams, planting their vicious schemes to free themselves once again as stars are right "Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn" In the city of madness They lie dormant in their houses of stone Preparing for their second coming cults were formed among men under their subconscious rule Horrid nightmares made flesh in bas-reliefs and visions of their city so vivid, yet beyond belief "Cthulhu! R’lyeh! Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn" In the city of madness Their high priest lies in wait Now sunken and cut off from this world their horrid city with great monoliths now under the waves But the cult is still alive and the city will emerge and from those absurd structures The Old Ones will arise and claim the world "Cthulhu! R’lyeh! Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn"

In the sewers and secret chambers where pungent odors fill the air and limitless night devours the root of contagion lay Destined to engulf nations subterranean horrors await Fungous creatures howled praise to unknown dieties The headless abnormalities and the dog-faced daemons joining with incubus to call the thing that crawled from the waters And the babylonish court was held in the name of Hecate Offerings were given to the infernal and blood was spilt Contagious pestilence festered by the accursed rites and spilt blood the leprous limbs of Lilith were laved The sickening orgies continued till the end with the unhallowed chanting "be favourable on our sacrifice" On the edge of conciousness I witnessed all of this For it was not a dream and blood was spilt Contagious pestilence festered by the accursed rites and spilt blood the leprous limbs of Lilith were laved Ashtaroth, Mormo, Gorgo! The corpse arises and the necromantic throne plunging into oblivion Goats leaping hideously at the sound of deep horns emerging from the bottomless depths and blood was spilt Contagious pestilence festered by the accursed rites and spilt blood the leprous limbs of Lilith were laved

Tide up they lowered me by an endless rope through an opening in the hallowed ground Blindfolded, horrified without a hope I was descending gagged and bound A mental cataclysm came to me with horrific things as I was plunging down that endless spiked well I felt the claws on the paw, and with bat-wings I was soaring through gulfs of Hell Into a bottomless pit of despair Into a bottomless pit of despair I regained consciousness on a bed of stone Reaching out to the vast blackness It must have been a dream or a hallucination unknown For the horrors I saw I can't express Into a bottomless pit of despair Into a bottomless pit of despair A legion of inhuman abnormalities I saw With beast-limbs and some without a head They allured from its lair the five-headed paw that of the Unknown One, The god of the dead Into a bottomless pit of despair Into a bottomless pit of despair Into a bottomless pit of despair Into a bottomless pit of despair

I've lived my whole life in a complete isolation Exiled from this earth I can recall no companion Have I roamed here alone from birth? All I know I have read from the books that occupy the endless dusty shelves In this forsaken castle no light can reach Surrounded by a putrid moat And the vast dark woods I often find myself looking up to the twilight sky wondering what's beyond the mist and dense forest filled with brooding fear Alone beside this castle stands a sinister black tower For centuries it has stood there Reaching as far as the eye can see Surrounded by a putrid moat And the vast dark woods Under the Black Ruined Tower In the shade of the Black Ruined Tower Through the eternal dusk that surrounds my abandoned lair this tower reaches As I climb its ancient stairs Up that sinister cylinder of rock I shall painfully ascend Will I reach the light of day, and climb out of this netherworld? Surrounded by a putrid moat And the vast dark woods Under the Black Ruined Tower In the shade of the Black Ruined Tower
