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 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
