Dedicated to Ben Williams

lyrics

the height of human arrogance
his intelligence is un paralleled
among the bleating herd
his works are unrivalled
his words are forged in wisdom
gleaned from forgotten pages
no faith in man made idols
hear the call of unknown gods


then one day a friend came calling
from a trek in ancient lands
he unveiled a secret offering
an emerald god trapped in a jar

green liquid sealed within
a jar transcribed with writhing words
ill scripture that hurts the eye
the glass seemed alive with worming madness
sealed within a
precious gift from the the distant caller
they use it to communicate
with unknown gods of ancient wisdom

Drink deep of me
and hear my call
I am the one
who waits in the dark
sing loud my words
and follow my path
leap with rapture into my abyss
the emerald gates are open to all

clammy stone and the stink of brine
rot falls from stalactites
a dark cavern fills the space
where once his homestead stood
the walls scrawled with writhing words
crawling down through the earth
terror fills his every breath
until nothing more remains

writhing flesh and appendages
fill the void that swallows me
a fleeting second of piercing horror
before the madness drowns me
I scream until my throat is ruptured
and the only sound I make is his name
the cold embrace of the emerald pressure
settles upon my soul

lord of the green abyss
I belong to you now
lord of the green abyss
dwell in the dark no more
