Outergods - Catacombs Of Madness Lyrics

Deep down below this wretched world
On a darkened winters night
Lies a fate greater than death itself
This is the necromancer's plight
The gibbous moon looming above
The air this night is deathly still
Entering tombs beneath cathedral ruins
A wicked prophecy fulfilled
Descend to the maddening darkness
Flickering torch illuminates the skulls and bones that decorate these tunnel walls The stench of death permeates through these corridors
This dreadful ruin should be left alone
A presence felt with intentions malevolent
They dance in shadows, their bodies broken and deformed
Torrents of screams echoing through these cursed crypts
Harrowing shrieks from the nether realm
A hastened pace and pounding heart
Foolish mortal doomed from the very start
What feels like days is merely seconds long
Out in the distance, you hear a gospel song
Follow their voices, they speak his name
Clutch at a dim-lit torch with fading flame
A light ahead, bask in its glow
This is the reason why you delved so far below
Enter the tomb
An ancient demon stands so tall
A choir of fetid ghouls
Fall to your knees and hear him speak:
I am the bringer of chaos. I dwell in darkness where most fear to tread The thought of me is forever, In the bleeding hearts of men
In their greed and their lust, In their envy and pride
I will plague these sacred lands my endless power shall be undenied I will bathe in their blood. I will feast on their souls
Dormant for centuries, awoken at last
The time is now to cleanse this planet with fire
Crawling out from the bedlam as the earth begins to shake
Ceiling collapsing, these catacombs have become your grave
Hell has awakened, this plain will turn to blackened ash
Or so it seems Or so it seems
In reality, you've wandered aimlessly within this maze
No ancient evil, no end of days
You've lost your mind and, in this labyrinth, you shall be enslaved Never to see the light of day again
Forever trapped in this maddening darkness
