about
Inspired by Nyarlathotep, a short story by H.P. Lovecraft.
lyrics
Nyarlathotep
The Crawling Chaos
Messenger of the Outer Gods
Risen from the blackness of 27 centuries
Bearing messages from places not of this planet
When the heat rose he came, chaos precedes his name
By the pale moon his light guides, and by madness divides.
Your world transported between veils of existence
Mind exposed to reality beyond human sense
His purpose beyond comprehension
Only brief glimpses shown of his intentions.
Nyarlathotep
Bringer of Nightmares
Prophet of Destruction
Risen from the blackness of 27 centuries
Bearing messages from places not of this planet
When the heat rose he came, chaos precedes his name
By the pale moon his light guides, and by madness divides.
Your world transported between veils of existence
Mind exposed to reality beyond human sense
His purpose beyond comprehension
Only brief glimpses shown of his intentions.
A thousand forms he has taken
Yet will he forever remain faceless
Now you shall know the ruin he’s left
This one that they call the soul of the ancients.
The truth will be laid bare, your gods cannot save you
Only now you are aware, you don’t want to know what made you
You don’t want to know what made you!
Drifting upon the charnel winds from chambers beyond time
Through the graveyards of the universe comes a thin monotonous whine
Joined in an endless ceremony to the ceaseless beating of drums
From whence ultimate chaos spawns plays the mad flute for Azathoth, the blind god.
Nyarlathotep
The Crawling Chaos
Messenger of the Outer Gods
Prophet of Destruction
Risen from the blackness of 27 centuries
Bearing messages from places not of this planet
When the heat rose he came, chaos precedes his name
By the pale moon his light guides, and by madness divides.
Your world transported between veils of existence
Mind exposed to reality beyond human sense
His purpose beyond comprehension
Only brief glimpses shown of his intentions.
A thousand forms he has taken
Yet will he forever remain faceless
Now you shall know the ruin he’s left
This one that they call the soul of the ancients.
