Cthulhu calls...for music

 

  • Cthulhu calls...for music

    I thought it would be nice to have a thread were we can post songs, as well as the lyrics of those songs that contain lovecraftian references about Old ones, Outer Gods etc.
    Perhaps many of us will discover new bands that we didn't know about. Of course, probably over 90% of the songs posted here will be metal, but don't limit yourself to one genre. if you know a lovecraftian influenced song outside the metal scene you are more than welcomed to post it.

    I'll start with two examples:

    the first one is certainly a reference to the call of Cthulhu:

    Vader- Breath of centuries (from their 1993 album "the ultimate incantation")

    Black cities hidden in the dark,
    Among the waters, beneath the seas,
    Horrible thoughts destroy the minds,
    Through the endless nights.

    You don't know what's to come,
    While I'm chanting incantations,
    Stay away and don't play with This,
    You'll never understand.

    Buried in the frozen seas,
    Tombs of forgotten Gods,
    Who came forth from blackened stars,
    A breath of centuries here.
    A different, inconceivable cult,
    Shreds of the eternal, endless Circle,
    Gates to Hell for chosen ones,
    Awake from morality.

    You don't know what's to come,
    While I'm chanting incantations,
    Stay away and don't play with This,
    You'll never understand,
    And you never understood.

    That is not dead - which can eternal lie,
    But with the strange eons - even Death may die,
    Words written long ago - in sacred book of Might,
    The lethal, ominous powers - eclipsing all the light.
    The breaking, unseen ice - a deadly fates anger,
    Nightmarish ghosts - spectra and souls,
    The burning fire brands - in every open mind,
    And eyes shattered - of timid fools.

    Madness is a strange blessing,
    If you nothing understand,
    That's better to be dead,
    When the gods soon descend.
    Awaiting in horrific peace,
    The Master of All is dozing,
    His time hasn't yet come,
    His hour remains unknown.

    You don't know what's to come,
    While I'm chanting incantations,
    Stay away and don't play with This,
    You'll never understand,
    Never.

    Second- nice lyrics, made of Lovecraft's titles combined:

    Septic flesh- Lovecraft's death (from "communion" 2008)


    The cold comes
    The rats in the walls break
    The deadly sound of silence
    As time decays
    You try to name the unnamable
    A whispererer in darkness

    Our hound smells you
    The haunter of the dark
    Will come to take you to our realm
    Your life, your books
    March in front your closing eyes
    Beyond the walls of sleep

    Lovecraft in the realm of the dead

    Obsessed with Necronomicon
    The Arab's wicked dream
    You found a path to Azathoth
    And walked the Dagon's realm

    Your friends were haunted too
    Do you remember Charles?
    Or haven't you heard
    The music of Erich Zann
    The call of Cthulhu we disguised
    With notes and raving rhythms
    To spread the seed of lurking fear
    Into the heart of man

    Lovecraft in the realm of the dead

    Your time is out you saw too much
    You used the silver key
    You know too well that minds like yours
    Can never rest in peace

    You stared at the abyss
    You'll never rest in peace

    You'll never rest in peace

  • Death Breath - Cthulhu Fhtagn

    It's instrumental but I think it captures the atmosphere of H.P. Lovecrafts work.

    And a garage made from the souls of little children?

    Massacre

    From Beyond

    Emerging from the shadows
    Comes the scourge of annihilation
    Crossing the spheres of reality
    To bring forth consternation

    Horror beyond description
    Unnatural bizarre fear
    Altered and disfigured
    A strange macabre terror
    Through the ultra-violet
    From the bottom of creation
    Past the cosmic barriers
    Into this world...From Beyond!

    Enter the hordes of chaos
    Out of the realm of obscuration
    Their conquest has now begun
    Of all human obliteration

    Simultaneously they appear
    Repulsive animated beings
    In a kaleidoscopic void of light
    Creatures of inept creations
    Foreign alien monstrosities
    Devouring and fusing together
    Forms of infinite madness
    Ripping at my mind

    Sinister

    Cross the Styx

    Rise into the elder world
    the burning purgatory
    deadly cosmic terror
    the lowest depths of hell

    I signed the book of blood
    by will - now that's a fact
    marked by the numbers
    of predominance
    lead me to the path of perfect celebration
    I've been reborn in a world of consumption

    Arisen in blasphemy
    mutilation I need
    consume souls eternally
    for my torment they will bleed

    Realm of darkthrone
    netherworld of doom
    cruel horned spirits
    everlasting ghouls

    Flowing from the depths
    dark horned mutations
    million tied up souls
    infernal slaves of manipulation

    Cross the Styx

    I call on thee
    blind idiot god of chaos
    goat with a thousand young
    god of perfection

    Cross the Styx

    Pumping the agony through my veins
    as perpetual pleasure it enters my brain
    swallow the lunatics of god's creation
    their tumors create a sacrificial lust
    grime crippled putrescent infants
    melted and fused by demonical abscesses
    reincarnation of perfection
    behind the forbidden sinister gates

    Souls drowned in the blood of Oblivion
    dragged in the stream of the inflicted access
    zymotic slime of substracted skin
    into damnation tortured infinity

    Morbid Angel

    Lord of All Fevers & Plague

    Ninnghizhidda - open my eyes
    Ninnghizhidda - hear my cries
    Plumed serpent of the deep
    Plumed serpent of the gate
    I command - come before me
    I command - bring the key
    Rise from the depths
    See the fire in my wand

    Ia iak sakkakh iak sakkakth
    Ia shaxul

    I call forth the god pazuzu
    I call forth the lord of plague
    I am of the lost
    Creatures of spawn of hate
    Rejoice in the heaving earth
    Praise the ripping sky
    Rise spread disease
    Consume their puny souls

    Ia iak sakkakh iak sakkakth
    Ia shaxul
    Ia kingu ia cthulu ia azbul
    Ia azabua

    Ride the wings of death...

    And of course the obvious Bal-Sagoth always screaming of Lovecraftian influence, especially their latest. But here's one from Starfire...

    Summoning the Guardians of the Astral Gate

    It is written in the ancient legends... that high amidst the moon-swathed peaks of the great Mountain of Shadows, hides the aeon-weary threshold of the Astral Gate... the portal from our world, to beyond...
    It is said that one who holds the key and knows the empyreal incantation may stand within the ancient ring of stones atop the mountain when the stars are correctly aligned, and unlock the mystic gate, summoning its sidereal sentinels, thereby attaining ultimate enlightenment and wisdom unparalleled...

    Part 1: THE INVOKING

    (The Aspirant Reaches The Summit)

    Keepers of the cosmic threshold, my ascent has been fraught with terror, deathsteeped, storm-hammered.
    (These grim mountains are strewn with the bones of the ill-fortuned dead.)
    O' Guardians of the Astral Gate, the spheres blaze at last in trine... I hold the Key!
    (The trinity of stars shall touch the circle of stones once more...)
    The incantation of Xuk'ul is known to me, the Orb of Summoning earned with bloodshed!
    (The crystalline key to the Outer Realms and the arcane rite to empower it are at last mine, Seized at swordpoint from the citadel of the Black Templars. Enlightenment awaits!)

    Many years ago, the mystic Orb of Summoning was seized by the mysterious Black Templars,a band of sombre, plunder seeking knights from the kingdoms to the east of the Great Sea. They wrested the sorcerous gem from the ancient shrine of Azaimedes, where it had lain hidden for countless centuries, its true power and purpose known only to the dour shamans who tended to the elder place of worship. It is said that the tapestry of slaughter woven that day was unparalleled in its ferocity, and that the marble walls of the ancient shrine were, and still remain, stained vivid crimson with the spilled blood of the Orb's keepers.

    Ka-kur-ra, I summon thee,
    Zul'tekh Azor Vol-thoth.
    Mighty Xuk'ul arise,
    Kur'oc Gul-Kor, come forth.

    I hold aloft the pulsing orb, astral spheres, empower the mystic key.
    Ring of elder stones entwined in prophecy, the Rite of Invocation enthralls thine power.
    Replete from drinking deep of darkness, black shapes dancing 'twixt the stones,
    Lucent beams lancing forth from the gleaming, cepheid stars, a creeping mist ensorcells my tongue...

    A great stillness binds the moon-cloaked mountaintop in glooming shackles...
    (High above, the myriad stars gleam bright against the night sky, three more resplendently bedazzling than the others, their sidereal auras engulfing the stones...)
    And the central stone of the ancient ebon ring begins to pulsate with a darksome energy...
    A thunderous maelstrom ablaze with writhing celestially spawned power then rends the stygian night...
    (A vast shimmering aperture, a vortex of heliacal fire... the pathway to beyond beckons!)
    The Astral Gate is open...
    The Guardians have awakened...

    XUK'UL: Impudent mortal! You dare summon us? If 'tis elucidation you seek, you shall have it!

    Such searingly terrible stellar majesty... my sanity is lashed like a vessel on a storm-wracked sea. What price this invocation? Shall the singing stars claim my very mind?

    To countless worlds we travel, riding the endless black seas 'twixt the stars... the ebon oceans of infinity... flying through a thousand suns, then watching their light fade, as if it were but a flickering candleflame snuffed by the wind. As beings of pure energy we become one with the vastness, transcending the ethereal walls of time, spanning at once this celestial eternity, and yet existing as no more than a mote of dust within the vista of its endlessness... Journeying beyond...

    The threshold looms, (the star-way between dimensions stretches before me...)
    The Gate To That Which Lies Beyond yawns wide...
    Unspeakable forces gibber and pulsate in the Outer Darkness... Elder horrors dwell here, things which were ancient and revelled in sublime galactic malevolence when even Xuk'ul was naught but a bloated cosmic maggot, writhing and suckling at the breast of its amorphous mother... They-Who-Lurk-And-Breed-In-Limbo... the squamous sovereigns of the elder void!

    Primal terror drags my essence screaming back from the threshold.
    The ichor of pestilent tongues clings to me, tendrils probing, the ire of fiends!

    The ravening black worms of madness are devouring the shredded remnants of sanity as I return to my slumbering steel-clad body... but as the dream-veil lifts, I feel my limbs transform, flesh becoming cold stone... enshrouded by a dark mantle of obsidian. And the laughter of the Guardians echoes, carries upon the winds of this spectral eve. Such is the price of enlightenment. And so, a new brooding sentinel of stone joins the others on the nighted mountain top...
    Standing silently in the ancient circle of truth, standing... waiting,
    Beneath the stars.

    Indeed, probably my favourite Morbid Angel song. Absolutely love it as well. Probably the best song off Altars... with maybe Maze of Torment close behind.

  • Long song with few lyrics: Nile - Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten

    I Hath Dreamed Black and Grim, Desolate Visions
    Of the Pre-Human Serpent Folk and Communed with Long-dead Reptiles.
    Silently Watching Through the Ages in Cold, Curious Apathy.
    The Unending Sorrows and Suffering of an Abysmal Humankind.

    I Dare Not Again Surrender to the Deep Sleep Which Ever Beckons Me.
    Lest I in Dread.
    Shudder at the Nameless Things.
    That May at this Very Moment.
    Be Crawling and Lurking.
    At the Slimy Edges of My Conciousness.
    Slithering Forth from the Bowels of Their Infernal Pits.
    Worshipping Their Ancient Stone Idols and Carving Their Own Detestable Likenesses On Subterranean Obelisks of Blood-soaked Granite.

    [Guitar solo]

    I Await the Day When the Claws of Doom Shall Rise.
    To Drag Down in Their Reeking Talons the Weary and Hopeless Remnants of a Jaded, Decayed, War-despairing Mankind.
    Of a Day When the Earth Shall Open Wide and the Black, Bottomless, Yawning Abyss Engulfs the Arrogant Civilizations of Man.
    Chthonic Retribution Shall Ascend.
    Amidst Universal Pandemonium and Those Who Slither and Crawl Shall Rise Again Once More to Inherit the Earth.

    Besides my favourite Song of them and how I got to know H.P. Lovecraft as more, as a character in one of my Books^^

    In the name of Seth chaos shall rise.

    What about Thergothon. Pioneers of Funeral Doom Metal, always speaking about Lovecraft:

    Elemental (From "Fhatagn-nagh Yog-Sothoth" Demo)

    BLACK CLOUDS COLIDE UNTIL THE STORM IS READY TO BURST
    WAVES RISE FROM THE SEA AND THE SWELLS STRETCH UP TO THE SKY
    HILLS TREMBLE IN AGONY AS THE EARTH IS TO YAWN
    THE MIST TURNS TO SMOKE WHEN THE FLAMES LICK THE MATERIA

    "THE POWERS OF THE SEA SEA, THE EARTH, THE WINDS AND THE FIRE,
    CAN YOU HEAR MY CHANT?"

    FALL ASLEEP, FALL INTO DARKNESS
    ELEMENTAL POWERS BREAK THE CHAIN
    FALL ETERNAL THROUGH THE PITS OF TIME
    SPIRITUAL DESECRATION

    "THAT IS NOT DEAD WHICH CAN ETERNAL LIE
    AND WITH STRANGE AEONS EVEN DEATH MAY DIE." [ABDUL ALHAZRED]

    "INVISIBLE HANDS GROPE AT MY THROAT
    THOSE EYES STARING AT ME. . . WHAT A MISERY. . ."

    A DIMENSIONAL SHAMBLER TOOK HIM BEYOND THE BOUNDS
    (OF DIMENSIONS)



    Evoken (From "Fhatagn-nagh Yog-Sothoth" Demo)

    THE WINDS FROM THE ABYSS OF THE NIGHT
    BLOW OUT THE CANDLES
    FROM BEYOND THE SOURCES OF TIME

    FLY THROUGH THE AIR
    AS NEAR IS FAR AND FAR IS NEAR
    LIGHT IS DARK AND DARK IS LIGHT
    I AM IT AND IT IS ME

    THE GATE TO THE VISIONS
    FROM BEYOND OUR TIME AND SPACE
    I CAN SEE THROUGH ITS EYES
    THE WINGS OF DAMNATION

    ABYSMAL MALEVOLENCE SURROUND
    AFTER-VISIONS FROM THE LIGHTNING STRUCK
    SURROUND

    NOW THE GATES ARE OPEN FOR YOG-SOTHOTH

    From ancient Yuggoth, black rays emit
    Evils narcotic cyclopean pits
    In dark babelian towers await
    Lie dreaming until the time will awake

    Whose dreamy angles, confused and trapped

    Black chant mirrors the song of the stars
    Open the abyss dreamt from afar
    Abominations drawn to our dimension
    Feed black desires, aid human ascension

    Black chanting grows
    From caverns below
    Echo through time
    Reveal the sign

    From ancient Yuggoth, black rays emit
    Evils narcotic cyclopean pits, yeah
    In dark babelian towers await
    Lie dreaming until the time will awake, yeah

  • I'm currently in "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward" and what plopped into my mind was Nile's "The Essential Salts"

    "The necromancers of Giza
    A cult of reanimators
    Concerned with interrogation of the long dead
    Corpses who may be revived and made to talk
    And describe the contents of rare books
    And gold hidden in the earth
    Although they are often reluctant to reveal their secrets
    And must be encouraged with fire and blade

    A corpse chosen for resurrection
    Is cut into parts of convenient size
    Boiled in clean water
    Linen strips of mummification are removed
    And the skull and bones liquefied
    And boiled until all water is gone
    What remains in the bottom
    Is a white crystalline substance
    That may be carried in the palms of two hands
    This white powder contains the essential salts
    Of the man whose corpse was boiled
    It is from this powder that the living body may be reconstituted
    And made to serve as a house for the soul
    Which is called back into its former flesh by words of power

    It is a great shock to the soul
    To tear it back from its resting place and reanimate it
    The resurrected are often insane and scream ceaselessly or dash themselves into walls
    If the salts are contaminated with the essence of other living beings
    When the mummy has been the breeding place of vermin
    The revitalization of the salts produces something
    That is part man and part whatever gnawed his corpse
    These horrors lack the faculty of speech
    Or their speech is crazed and bestial
    And must be immediately slain
    For though the memory of the man may remain intact
    The verminous parts of his reanimated nature
    Inhibit his human expression

    Those who have served their purpose are killed
    By strangulation with a cord around the neck
    And their bodies burned
    Their ashes gathered and cast into the Nile
    Where the currents carry them to the sea"


    And when I'm at posting lyrics of the newer Album i'll add "What can be safely written":

    "Great Cthulhu
    Ever the warrior God
    Of all the old ones
    He is the most terrible
    For it is his delight
    To slay and lay waste to everything that lies beneath his taloned feet
    And the very lust to conquer
    What was once free
    Drives him onward across the heavens and through the spheres

    It was he and his spawn
    That defeated the elder things
    Who had long possessed sovereignty of this world
    Before he descended on his gray and leathern wings
    Through the upper gate opened by yog sothoth

    On the walls of lost cities
    And in the carvings of madmen
    Who have glimpsed him in their dreams
    Is his image delineated
    Within a tomb protected by great seals
    He lies in death
    Under the weight of the dark waters of the deep
    Yet he dreams still
    And in his dreams continues to rule this world
    For his thoughts master the walls of lesser creatures

    When the stars in their endless turnings
    Assume the angles of the same rays they shed down
    In the primordial dawn of the world
    Then does r'lyeh rise upward so the house of Cthulhu
    Emerges from under his watery prison
    The mind of the god waxes strong
    And he sends forth his will to those men
    Who are open to his influence
    The command to release the seals that bind his tomb

    Always the stars
    Never remain in alignment long enough
    For the enslaved men to reach distant r'lyeh
    Before r'yleh sinks once more under the sea
    Severing the bond
    Between the will of Cthulhu
    And the flesh of those he has enthralled
    Leaving them to wail in confusion and despair
    Upon the bosom of the vacant sea"

    Well, I didn't plan to recite their newest album, because the lyrics are not as good, as the elder ones ... this one was flat... but they seem to fit today.

    Greetings

    In the name of Seth chaos shall rise.

  • Don't forget about "The thing that should not be" by Metallica

    Messenger of fear in sight
    Dark deception kills the light

    Hybrid children watch the sea
    Pray for father, roaming free

    Fearless wretch
    Insanity
    He watches
    Lurking beneath the sea
    Great old one
    Forbidden site
    He searches
    Hunter of the shadows is rising
    Immortal
    In madness you dwell

    Crawling chaos, underground
    Cult has summoned, twisted sound

    Out from ruins once possessed
    Fallen city, living death

    Fearless wretch
    Insanity
    He watches
    Lurking beneath the sea
    Timeless sleep
    Has been upset
    He awakens
    Hunter of the shadows is rising
    Immortal
    In madness you dwell

    Not dead which eternal lie
    Stranger eons death may die

    Drain you of your sanity
    Face the thing that should not be

    Fearless wretch
    Insanity
    He watches
    Lurking beneath the sea
    Great old one
    Forbidden site
    He searches
    Hunter of the shadows is rising
    Immortal
    In madness you dwell.

  • Catacoms - In the Depths of R'lyeh

    He who sleeps, ageless, out of time - awakens now from restless sleep - stirring from the depths of his aqueous tomb - at the sound of the gathering - of the neophytese of doom - chants in unknown tongues - echoes through accursed halls - the great eyes open... - the very cosmos shudder - at the awakening of the ungod - arising from the watery chasm - as his acolytes of doom - lurch forth from ebbing tides - as the world's doom - arises from the deep - and they chant...
    Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Ftaghu!

    Nobody mentions "The Call Of Ktulhu" by Metallica? Another nice instrumental...
    By the way, Trey of Morbid Angel is obsessed by Cthulhu... many Morbid Angel songs refer to the old ones and Trey's own understanding of our world is based on the old ones...

    This is not metal. I'd call it ; a band named Dead Meadow have a song about the dreamworld called Through the Gates of the Sleepy Silver Door. I never picked up on any Lovecraft influence until I read the lyrics which I only did for the first time now.

    Sleepy Silver Door

    When I was young I travelled to distant lands
    A castle arises from a sea of sand
    Its towers shimmer in the heat of the sun
    Shining down shadow for everyone
    Swinging on swings that hang from great trees
    Lulled to sleep by the breath of the breeze
    My forgotten thoughts drop down to the sea
    So I lived a life, which was my dream
    Can't find a key to the sleepy silver door
    I'm washed up on the shore of reality

  • Blessed Black Wings is basically an entire album devoted to lovecraft. The Face of Oblivion is the most obvious refrence, which basically chronicles the events of At The Mountains Of Madness

    Ghosts of forever ride the pale twilight
    Teller of the tale lives beneath the ice
    Shadow of the haunter creeps within our sight
    As we lay sleeping... Horror

    Shunned dead city in the acrid cold
    Thawed out the specimens as the blood unfolds
    Blasts uncover terrors that shouldn't be
    Elder race lives... Arkham

    Expedition through the titan mountains
    Sepulchre unveils beings arcane
    Things uncovered make the men insane
    Embrace our madness

    The blood I shed for you was divine
    So turn you head and leave it denied
    I call your name in the cold of the night
    Now you've become the serpent's spine

    Mercyful Fate

    "The Mad Arab"

    The son of a shepherd, Abdul Alhazred
    Travelling in the mountains, the mountains to the east
    One night before him, there stood that giant rock
    3 symbols carved in blood

    He built a fire at its root
    To protect him from the wolves...

    The Mad Arab... He would understand
    The Mad Arab... It was in his hands...

    Later that same night, awoken by wolfen's cry
    The Arab cold with fear, saw the rock began to rise... Rise

    The son of a shepherd, Abdul Alhazred
    Shivering he saw Them coming, the mountain's evil priests
    Black robes came together, around the floating rock
    3 symbols in the dark

    They all started chanting ancient songs
    It was prayer in unknown tongue...

    The Mad Arab... He would understand
    The Mad Arab... It was in his hands

    Daggers held high to the sky
    The chanting had turned to screams
    From the pit where the rock had been
    8 snake-like monsters came
    And the symbols burned in red
    And the priests had turned their heads

    The blood running from their chests and daggers
    Had the Arab scream in horror... Giving himself away

    The Mad Arab... He would understand
    The Mad Arab... Had to run away

    Run down that mountain side, oh but they had seen him
    The priests had caught his scent
    Running faster... They're chasing him
    Can't go no faster... They're still behind
    Aaaah NO!!!
    They're closing in...






    Mercyful Fate

    Ktulu (The Mad Arab Part Two)

    Someone better come and save my life
    Someone better kill those evil eyes
    Is it in my mind or are they still behind
    Turning slowly...I see, I see, I see there's no one there
    Someone better tell me what it's all about
    In the dying fire, moonlight has struck my eye
    Feeling colder...I see, I see, I see the amulet of EVIL
    GODS...EVIL GODS

    Can you hear the voices in my head...
    Can you hear the voices in my head
    Can you hear the voices, what they say?

    KUTULU...KUTULU...KUTULU...KUTULU...

    Traveling for years in the mountain side
    Traveling for years to believe in the sign
    And I know them well now, all of the Ancient Ones
    Turning slowly...I see, I see, I see there's no one there
    Someone must have broken the holy seal
    'cause I know they're there, just like that fateful night
    Feeling colder...I see, I see, I see the amulet of EVIL
    GODS...EVIL GODS

    Can you hear the voices in my head...
    Can you hear the voices in my head
    Can you hear the voices, what they say?

    KUTULU...KUTULU...KUTULU...KUTULU...

    Hear me as KUTULU raises his EVIL head
    Drooling for my soul
    I must finish this book tonight
    Tomorrow...I might be of the dead

    I'm burning up...I'm burning up
    I wish for you...the GODS will be mercyful

    Drooling for my soul
    I must finish this book tonight
    Tomorrow...I might be of the dead

    I'm burning up...I'm burning up
    I wish for you...the GODS will be mercyful...

    Morbid Angel - Angel of Disease

    Your plastic souls melt within cauldron's burning black
    Chanting to the Ancient Ones, chants of broken lines
    Kneel before the alter, sacrifice is made
    It is pleasing to the ones most ancient of the days

    They call the prince of disease, messenger of the Absu
    Carry through the icy winds our curse upon their church

    Hanging helpless above the pentagram
    Sacrifice swings within leather noose
    Sing the ancient hymn that makes the Abso roll
    Raise the rusty knife, let loose the blood of Kingu

    Sudden death throws off the balance that's within the sky
    Priest calls forth infernal names to the ones beyond the gate

    Angel of disease one who shuns the light
    Shub Niggurath goat with one thousand young

    Praise the beast, the chanting grew
    Praise the beast with virgin blood
    Praise the beast with soul and mind
    Praise the beast and show the sign

    Bind their kings in iron chains
    Execute the judgement for them
    Come and taste the fleshy pleasures
    Orgies of endless time

    Beneath the rolling for hate ignites their eyes
    >From their graves the dead rise to answer Nammtar's call
    On a twisted cross the virgin corpse hangs
    They blacken out the sun and burn the elder gods

    Morbid priest calling forth
    Abominations of the sky
    Kutulu meets in the void
    Ancient Ones rule once more

    Unholy Blasphemies

    Rise through the gate, Iak Sakkath
    From depths beyond the sky
    The realm of evil gods
    Painful... They eat your mind

    Evil undisguised
    Breathe in pain
    Blackened souls remain

    Ghouls who pray the death of god
    Destroy Jehovah's church
    Vomit upon the cross
    And burn the book of lies

    Yog sothoth evil one
    Come forth and taste the blood
    Infant entrails
    Are hung upon the twisted cross

    Troll or get trolled - you decide

    Setep-En-Re said:
    I'm currently in "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward" and what plopped into my mind was Nile's "The Essential Salts"

    Almost all the lyrics on that album are copied (without credit) from Donald Tyson's book Necronomicon: The Wanderings of Alhazred.

    Coalescent of the Inhumane Awareness - Tyranny

    In my dreams,
    Sinking into cold depths
    Dragged downwards the bottomless
    by the oppressive weight of water
    Through this languid hour
    of ever yawning abyss
    I journey the expanse of R'lyeh

    The listless chant, crippling my thoughts
    Calling from below, echoing in the
    Cyclopean Halls of the green-veined stone
    Loathsome in its redolence of spheres
    and dimensions...
    Unearthly aesthetic in disturbing ways

    With malicious intent the Sleeper lies
    Undying in dormancy with the will to arise
    And the stars are key,
    slowly turning in the lock
    Grinding in awakening motion

    In my Dreams,
    Sinking into cold depths
    Heeding an ancient clarion
    unbeknown to me
    Through this languid hour
    of ever yawning abyss
    Return to the ancient R'lyeh

    For some reason I got it in my head that the OP was excluding instrumentals, but rereading the OP now I realise I'm just illiterate:P Anyways, that said I should then add Samael's Rite of Cthulhu
