Into the depths of the earth
Beneath the azure sea
We've passed the gateways of slumber
Our final destiny
Dead but dreaming
The old one waits for a sign
From his dwelling in R'lyeh
Cthulhu shall rise
Times of despair, times of turmoil
Yet loathsome forms beyond uncoil
Forsaken hope, forsaken kind
Madness shall wreck the mortal mind
No gods left to bow before
They sleep now forevermore
Before mankind lays waste once more
The old ones will stride to the shore
Overlords of chaos
Overlords of chaos
Prepare to perish, prepare to strive
As unknown nightmares come alive
Forget the glory, forget the pride
And honour is but to survive
Temples and altars crumbled to dust
The lyrics of bards are flecked with rust
Fading away echoes of their rhyme
Their magic forever engulfed by time
Empires rise, empires fall
From high thrones man craved it all
Battles won, battles lost
All the conquests have their cost
