Outburst Of Pandemonium
04:18
|
|||
|
Never seen a street as narrow
Never quite so steep
Houses like cliffs on Rue d’Auseil
Endless stairs deep within
Outside that bolted door I often heard
Those sounds of brooding mystery
Vibrations not of this world, inhuman
Only the lone old figure behind the door
With the chaotic orchestrations of the genius Erich Zann
The outburst of pandemonium has finally begun
Weeks passed and the baying of the viol grew wilder
As the old man withered increasingly
Some hideous screams accompanied the horror
As I questioned my own sanity
I entered the room where the music whirled
Through seething abysses insanely
Frantically escaping through smoke and lightning
Down those endless stairs I fled never to return
With the chaotic orchestrations of the genius Erich Zann
The outburst of pandemonium has finally begun

Elaborate Speech Machine
04:10
|
|||
|
A sight machine with two lenses,
a hearing device and the speech machine
serving as the voice and senses
for the detached brains in the cylinders
The voice
from the brain
spoke out
from the elaborate speech machine
Elaborate speech machine
Enter the intergalactic voyage
to reach the cosmos beyond our space and time
To see the origin of the outer ones
that dwell in the dark caves of this Earth
The voice
from the brain
spoke out
from the elaborate speech machine
Elaborate speech machine
Or was it just an evil scheme?
Elaborate speech machine

To The Foul Lake
03:32
|
|||
|
Every night the horned ones
Invade my dreams with monstrous scenes
A hideous journey it becomes
They take me to the nightmare realms
With no face and barbed tails
Out of some crypt they crawl
For what purpose they might take me
to the grey worlds hidden in the deep?
Soundless and faceless things
A Legion on membranous wings
Through nether pits they take
All the way to that foul…
Over the blackest of peaks
The legion of abnormalities
But why their wings be the only ones
that do make a sound to hear?
Soundless and faceless things
A Legion on membranous wings
Through nether pits they take
All the way to that foul…
Soundless and faceless things
A Legion on membranous wings
Through nether pits they take
All the way to that foul lake

Call Of The Undesirable
04:41
|
|||
|
The solitary house of ancient stone
high on the ledge amidst the mist
stood fast beyond reach of man
A sole door of heavy ancient oak
facing the depth of nothingness
A nigh mile upon the ocean's rage
through no living soul could enter
As the shadows began to gather
the lone inhabitant, ageless as he was
spoke of the dim first age
when chaos reigned, before the Elder Ones were born
Lingering against the dim window panes
a black outline of a creature moved
For there are unfathomable things in the great abyss
and the seeker of dreams must beware
…not to open the door
to the unexpected, the uninvited
…not to answer the call
of the undesirable
From the peak of Hatheg-Kla
In the stony desert near Ulthar
From the caves of Leviathan
To this steep ancient house
Surrounded by mist they come
as the Elder Ones only may decide
For there are unfathomable things in the great abyss
and the seeker of dreams must beware
…not to open the door
to the unexpected, the uninvited
…not to answer the call
of the undesirable
…open the door
to the unexpected, the uninvited
…answer the call
of the undesirable

The Gate
03:50
|
|||
|
What a Hellish creature!
Born to this world through pain
Inhuman features
Goatish looks and a stare of a daemon
A child born in blasphemy
Growing on abnormal rate
Facing canine hostility
Learning the darkest ancient sorcery
Yog-Sothoth knows the gate
Yog-Sothoth knows the way
Yog-Sothoth is the key
and the guardian of the gate
From between the spaces
that exist in our world
A terror with many faces
was summoned to take its form
Was the child an incarnation
of the horror beyond our realm?
Conceived in a sick insemination
as a part of some inbred nameless rite
Yog-Sothoth knows the gate
Yog-Sothoth knows the way
Yog-Sothoth is the key
and the guardian of the gate
Eh-ya-ya-ya-yahaah—e’yayayayaaaa . . .
ngh’aaaaa . . . ngh’aaaa . . .
h’yuh . . . h’yuh . . .
Worst of all was the hideous twin
Its stench unbearable!
Unseen to the eye, born in sin
Mouts dripping slime as it slithers
Annihilating everything on its path
Leaving only a repulsive trail
From another reality it came with wrath
and it knows where the Old Ones broke through of old
Yog-Sothoth knows the gate
Yog-Sothoth knows the way
Yog-Sothoth is the key
and the guardian of the gate
Yog-Sothoth knows the gate
Yog-Sothoth knows the way
Yog-Sothoth is the key
and the guardian of the gate where They meet

Through The Maze
02:57
|
|||
|
The dreams I had so long ago
never really ceased to exist
Day by day, we learn to embrace
the material world that might not
be more real to us than what our mind
experienced in the twilight meadows
Unleash the crimson in the skies
Unlock the worlds behind the eyes
My world - on the other side
Through maze of dreams I traverse
Deep down I knew somehow
I would find the passage once more
Through the maze
Unleash the crimson in the skies
Unlock the worlds behind the eyes
My world - on the other side
Through maze of dreams I traverse

All Consuming Plague
02:40
|
|||
|
It came down from the sky
like a comet to accurse this soil
It poisoned the ground
and made the vegetation glow
It drove all creatures mad
killing with some unexplained disease
Like a festering plague
it was in the plants and in the water
It feeds off anything
and everything that is living
It grows stronger
Systematically devouring all
It came from beyond
The consuming plague
It came with wrath
All consuming plague
The color, it burns!
Like nothing on this Earth
The color, it turns
all living into gray mass
It came down from the sky
like a comet to accurse this soil
It grows stronger
Systematically devouring all
It came from beyond
The consuming plague
It came with wrath
All consuming plague

Ethereal Form
05:00
|
|||
|
Form - not known to man
Through mold and fungus it moves
Form - ascending from the earth
Beneath the ancient cellar floor of stone
Life - from the living it feeds
Centuries of torment surround its lair
The Ethereal form
Succumb
The Ethereal form
Form - phosphorous flare
Invading dreams with cosmic visions
Mind - filled with macabre thoughts
As victims wake up out of breath
Foetor - noxious and vile
Followed its presence from below
Void - from grotesque dimensions
What monstrosities lie beneath the floor?
The Ethereal form
Succumb
The Ethereal form
Succumb to its call
Succumb to its call
Succumb

City Of Madness
03:26
|
|||
|
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"

Contagious Pestilence
02:22
|
|||
|
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

Pit Of Despair
02:54
|
|||
|
Tied 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

Black Ruined Tower
02:45
|
|||
|
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

Who doesn't know about Rogga and his phenomenal output of swedeath? It has to be acknowledged that he doesn't put out any bad songs and is capable to hold up the tension. Not only that, je eben manages to increase the intensity of his works.
