Below the Lake

Deep under moonlit night
Below the gentle waves
Lives the vacuous one
Whose illusion betrays
The eldritch true insight
Fearfully locked away
But the nightmare lives on
Creeping out of its cage

Study the relics and the runes
Beware the blood of old
Lest we invite impending doom
A dreadful tale retold

We do not want
What has been wrought
We seek the gods
But they do not
Grant us more eyes on the inside
Failure is our great lie

Abhorrent genocide
Draining the town
Beneath the crimson sky
They feed the child

The horror of the lecture hall
One reborn insane
Forbidden science to enthrall
Only the deranged

Renounce the flesh; project the mind
Perform the ancient rite
Leaving embodiment behind
As their souls ignite

We did not want
What they have sought
The spider hides
Their deathly rot

A frenzied torment takes us all
There is no escape
The city and the church shall fall
As the beasts awake

Please, grant us eyes on the inside

Born of the blood
We're made in blood
Undone by blood
Fear the old blood
We are beset by vermin
Our eyes are yet to open
