"The Thing That Should Not Be"


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 
great Old One 
forbidden site 
He searches 
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
