Witness the might
of Tsathoggua
Enter its realm
Voormithadreth
Grotesque crown of decay and perdition
Ageless stones sharpened by suffering
Formless beings, blackened abomination
Guarding the abyss
Bottomless pit
concealed in the depths of primeval formations
Darkness
protruding through glacial spires
Hideous summit of gold
Towering monolith daring eternity
Enter its realm!
Voormithadreth
Enter its realm!
Voormithadreth
Eclipsing the sun
rises a cyclopean mass
Primordial vileness
dawn of quiescent creations
Death from above
abhorrent beasts beating wings of damnation
Howling
rotten breath stench in the air
Feral roar echoes the void
Deafening squawking performing forgotten rites
Enter its realm!
Voormithadreth
Enter its realm!
Voormithadreth
Torn
Bleak
wicked peak of overwhelming
Dread
Fear
Ancient throne of blasphemous radiance
Oh, Golden Summit
Oh, Golden Summit
Oh, Golden Summit
Oh, Golden Summit

McMurdo:
Born
as a bastard
son of leeches turned to slave
Rose
took my chains off
Self made hustler fed from greed
You have it all
So what's wrong with
taking anything I please?
I sneak in the shadows
and fade into crowds when
You realize something
is gone from your pocket
Don't turn your back on me
Or I'll make all your money
vanish without notice
Simply gone!
Kadisthu brotherhood:
Chosen, chosen by the power of Kadisthu
Chosen so he will be reborn
We will find him and persuade him
A member of the Brotherhood:
Dear Mister, our Brotherhood needs you
We think you have all the skills required
To be one of our kind and to be the leader
In a well paid expedition
McMurdo:
I can not trust this man
Everything sounds like a scam
But what I have is nothing
Compared to what they’re offering
And if I have to run
It won't be my first time
To disappear and move on
With my life elsewhere
Dear comrade I accept your terms
A member of the Brotherhood:
Dear comrade we accept you
Come with us

THE KADISHTU BROTHERHOOD
The night – falling – over - the rooftops – in the dark and old town...
My shoes – (are) leaving - footprints - on the ground - While the rain is pouring down...
I walk through narrow alleyways... Cobbled paths meander through the old streets,
Echoes of unknown words inside my head - My life’s hanging by a thread...
It seems - I sold - my soul – to those - who worship the unmanifested
But I - lie I - cheat I - just look - for my own interests
I come and knock on a door painted in black, suddenly, sinister eyes looking through a check glass,
Secret greetings, I see the glyphs of society signs
Horror chants at the altar of sacrifice
But now I - have a - chance to - escape – from my - damned fate...
The debts – chase me – I run away - Tired of roaming around
I See all those faces covered with black hoods- In wooden stands...
The stench of madness, sweat, vomit and incense
Holding the knife in my hand, ready to defend myself
Horrendous murder, I must look away,
Two girls were chained... Like moths in a spider web
Chaos – Hypnosis – Demonstration of strength, Sterling Silver Pendant
The poisoned smoke of enslavement
Since - My – First – Vi - Sit – I – Live – in -terror
In - Night – Mares - Where - I – Crawl – through - Deep
Fro – Zen - Tu-nnels – ne - ver – seen – before
While - E- vil – eyes – watch – my – martyr - dome
A cult built on terror, based in blood,
A tangle of words – resounding in my head
Cht´flugoh - Ghatanothoa Khe-ly Yaddith - Go
Tsathoggua Voormithadreth Yha-Jal Gha-bal.
Trespassing the threshold, through the door,
Punisher will come...
Waits in the underworld,
The sleeper of N´kai – in all his glory... Come!
Since - My – First – Vi - Sit – I – Live – in -terror
In - Night – Mares - Where - I – Crawl – through - Deep
Fro – Zen - Tu-nnels – ne - ver – seen – before
While - E- vil – eyes – watch – my – martyr – dome
No remorse in their hands
No remorse in my heart
No remorse... But I lie and I cheat, just looking for me
No remorse... I sold my soul

McMurdo's Statement

THE MCMURDO STATEMENT
An Incident at the Royal Geographic Society
Discretion must be my primary aim...
“The truth still sleeps in the infinite depths”
My lie is reflected just in an unexpected... face,
“My privileged mind will give birth to the golden door...”
Still... Closed
Request – Rejected - The plan’s still in a larval stage,
Unknown floods flowing through time and space,
But I need desperately, a reallocation of these funds,
Or I’ll face the rage of the Kadishtu brotherhood...
“Hell, they are just men... distinguished members of this society”
Listen ... To MyTo m Command
We would do better not to pronounce certain words,
It’s not convenient, to speak about extortion and threats.
But if we can’t obtain these funds I will be compelled to,
Mention shameful secrets you know are true.
(Gentlemen)
I only see a group of weak and plucked fowls,
Playing with their new toys; guided by old fashioned rules.
You bunch of affected people don’t you dare reply to me,
The way you lead this institution it’s a shame (disgracefully)”
Do not oblige me - to punish you - frail minded fool -
Because behind me - there are powers you can’t understand -
Interests - that come from - places you - can’t imagine
I only see a group of weak and plucked fowls,
Playing with their new toys; guided by old fashioned rules.
You bunch of affected people don’t you dare reply to me,
The way you lead this institution it’s a shame (disgracefully)”
I can assure you - cretin - I will end -
You and your family
With this warm environment...
My life past before my eyes...
A child fighting against the world,
Stoically and without giving up
In this jungle I always fought alone...
The countless hardships caused by the hunger
The cruel repression of the authorities...
Stoically... I always fought alone
I was walking along without help from anyone
It’s my time
It’s my chance
I won’t let it go
By joining this brotherhood
I will starve no more

Kadishtu:
All servants choked to death
Impaled maids at dawn
Buried alive
firstborns and wives
Beheaded and torn apart
heretics shall pay for
The sacrilege
of rebellion
McMurdo:
It is time to protect myself
from the brotherhood's wrath
I must seek out a bodyguard
willing to die for me
If I die today
It will all be in vain
All this suffering
worthless
Whitfield:
I long to come back home, but not this way
I must seek fortune on my own
McMurdo:
Let this Whitfield join my charade
As he bears my fate
Just a pawn in this wicked game
Bound to be sacrificed
Whitfield:
At last I found a job...
Kadishtu:
McMurdo must be transformed…
Whitfield:
...a noble’s bodyguard
Kadishtu:
…he can’t be trusted no more
Whitfield:
McMurdo seems to be the chance to start again a brand new life
A kindred spirit to share my own world view with
I have to find the way to meet the expectations of this role
A lasting friendship might depend on my success
This journey he can’t stop talking about might be the kind of adventure
That I’ve been looking for to quench my thirst for fame
I see the both of us facing the challenge and standing triumphant
Succeeding where all the pretenders simply failed

Offering at Sea

McMurdo:
Sailing through dark seas
Dawn, sunset and dawn
Willing to succeed
And come back home
Kadisthu:
McMurdo has to be prepared
To receive the arrival of our lord
McMurdo:
Sailing through dark whispers
Nightmares come at night
The Brotherhood is planning something
I can't trust their lies
Kadisthu:
He will have to drink The water
With the unholy blood
He will have to hear the secrets
We will read from the Book
Chorus McMurdo:
In my cabin - at midnight
They kidnap me
Take me to somewhere - hidden
Hands and feet tied
Chorus Kadisthu:
Drink this water
Hear our chants
Black metal :
Swallowing and crying
Concoction of demise
Some ancient rites
A formula made with blood
Heaving and coughing
Transformation, death reprise
Rejoice you’re now OLD
BLOOD
Whitfield:
As we were about to land
McMurdo got sick
He became delusional
in bed for a week
All
Dark lord
Hear our calling
Take this offering

He Is Hiding Something
06:29
|
|

Whitfield:
Step by step
our path leads to death
Slope by slope
climbing this mountain, this hell
Day by day
Higher and higher
One by one
falling into despair
Chorus:
Something strange is going on
He is not himself
There’s something weird about his eyes
And his tone of voice
Says it’s all a lie
Like he is hiding something
He used to be my friend
But now he barely speaks to me
And he is always followed
by the creepy fellows of the brotherhood
As we climb
we feel cold and tired
Rain and wind
punish our faces and tents
Now the crew
is starting to talk
About how
McMurdo has suddenly changed
Chorus:
Something strange is going on
He is not himself
There’s something weird about his eyes
And his tone of voice
Says it’s all a lie
Like he is hiding something
He used to be my friend
But now he barely speaks to me
And he is always followed
by the creepy fellows of the brotherhood
McMurdo:
He can not find out our plan
We should use everything we've got
Every creature against this man
Invoked by the chants of my otherworldly kind
Whitfield:
On and on
Storm of green lightnings
shine at night, hell
Thunder rumbling loudly
We are all dead
Raining rocks
Falling from high
above we see beasts
Standing up there screaming
Above our heads
Despite the wind and the cold
Despite the beasts and the storm
We reach the mountain’s top
But McMurdo is gone

A Crack In The Wall
08:42
|
|
||
Whitfield:
Madness - On the top
We find a shrine made of ancient stones
There is silence near the shrine
As we walk by we hear a hideous sound
Louder, ohmmm, ohmmm, ohmmm, ohmmm
It is made of noise and rhymes
I can feel evil within it
The danger is near, is here
Finally face to face
Madness - At the shrine
We find the Brotherhood taking hands
They are standing in a circle
At its center there's McMurdo
He sees us, ohmmm, ohmmm, ohmmm, ohmmm
Ha ha ha ha ha
McMurdo:
We are here to invoke
The Unknown from out of space
And we'll see what wrath is
What reality is
And we'll learn the truth
Of human kind
Almost ready
Almost done
Ohmmm, ohmmm, ohmmm
Whitfield:
The ground starts to shake, the mountain cries
The crew runs away from the shrine
The danger is near, it's here
Finally face to face
McMurdo:
Come now, come to our world
Kadisthu is calling you
Whitfield:
Puzzled, astounded, scared and alone
When a crack appears in the wall
What is going on?
A claw comes out of the wall
And seems to check the outside
As the crack grows and grows
Then the claw grabs a fellow
And pulls him against the wall
As McMurdo keeps on singing
A head with giant teeth bites the man
He is now just blood
Ahhhhh

What Was Real?
03:12
|
|
||
I can't tell you how I feel
‘Cause I don't know what was real
I wish I didn't have to kill
It was like a bad dream
Blurred thoughts, tangled stream
Horror visions are now coming to me
(Solo)
When I cut McMurdo's throat
The Monster screamed and the crack closed
I can still hear its cry when I'm alone
In the shrine the horror lives
Dreaming its eternal dream
And like the Mountain will stand still
