lyrics

Slowly approaching this demolished ziggurat it feels as if my flesh begins to itch. Sigils glowing on the walls of every ancient dialect along the lines of what we must protect are mentioned in the scriptures that glow so dim - a luminescent ambered hue of sin.

As I slowly enter this ruined fane of lost, a temple shrouded by violent vines and moss, my nostrils filled with pungent misery, the floor exists as a soup of the deceased. The altar doth imbue fear as I approach while a sulfurous mist now burns and rapes my throat. A blackened tar of bloody phlegm doth spill, licking ichor from my lips.

A chill sent down my spine as the tips of my fingers kiss the surface of this ancient script long misplaced and forgotten. The markings on this vellum tell of methods used on the cerebellum of a vessel whose guest shall thrive on the fear of their mortal host.

Once pursued through the Caverns of Lost, the shell of the sacrifice permanently distraught, for the map that we supplied the vessel now deciphers in the dark leads a mouse to a trap with a lantern in hand. With a lantern, a lantern in hand.

Leaving the vessel lost and alone in the dark, the soul of this wretched beast shall enter his withered carapace.

As I exit this demolished ziggurat I carry in my tow the answers to all of our prayers. A descriptive list of reagents that we must collect if we are to triumph over this blasphemous creature of hell, which is precisely what we intend to do.

Adrift, my mind wanders in a sea of unease as my thoughts carry me back to the readings of the prophecy. Any man we choose, for the preparation of the body is of the utmost importance. Drawing the man into a trap so that the spirit can attack, a lantern filled with an imprisoning bind of alchemic reactions. The essential key is triggering an eternity of fear as he wanders here waiting for release.
