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 

timeless sleep 

has been upset 

He awakens 

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 

immortal 

in madness You dwell.
