The Lurking Fear - Death, Madness, Horror, Decay lyrics



Tracks



01. Abyssal Slime

Curse the seer
And these dark, petrified gulfs
The inner wasteland of ashes
And predatory dreams

Ravaged by time
Perverted and blind
A pestilence-stricken void
A tempest of disease

The sleep of reason
In eternal return
Sovereign or slave
To the ancestral curse

The abhorrence born
Between thought and world
The poisonous winds
And radiant gulfs

The horror divine
Decomposition and death
In nameless shapes unbound
The all-devouring dead

The sleep of reason
In eternal return
Sovereign or slave
To the ancestral curse

The sleep of reason
In eternal return
Abyssal slime
In eternal return

02. Death Reborn

A vast pollutant
Of sprawling death

Protruding veins
And tides of rotting flesh

Brutalized, since dawn of time
Ride the chaos blind

Skeletal our darkness
Anchored to our doom

Death reborn
In violent currents drowned

Tentacles of hunger
Riddling the earth

Poison veil
An avalanche of death

Horror black, since dawn of time
Ride the wings of doom

The primordial physics
Shape the cosmic dust

Death reborn
In violent currents drowned

03. Cosmic Macabre

The venomous truth
The poison chalice
Shades of black unfurl
In dreams of crimson doom

Through these rancid crypts
And the cosmic macabre
Where dreams implode
Into the endless night

The primal chaos
Reborn in flames
Black from the sleep eternal we rise

The obscure laws
Of this undead realm
The forbidden earth
Of the voiceless dread

Through phosphorous stench
And pestilent scourge
In black delirium
And ravenous lust

The primal chaos
Reborn in flames
Black from the sleep eternal we rise

The blasphemies of elder earth
The roar from the throat of the beast

The plague of the end
The voice from the stars
The whispering madness
The distorting winds of hell

The venomous truth
The poison chalice
Shades of black unfurl
In dreams of crimson doom

Through these rancid crypts
And the cosmic macabre
Where dreams implode
Into the endless night

The primal chaos
Reborn in flames
Black from the sleep eternal we rise

The primal chaos
Reborn in flames
Black from the sleep eternal we rise

04. Funeral Abyss

The final feast
The fevered tongue
In rivers of pitch
The slumber of death

In a language dead
On poison winds
The leprous flames
Tearing through your flesh

All of your gods
In eternal rest

An ageless dread
The lurid eyes
An endless plague
Of hell unleashed

Tearing through the vortex
The funeral abyss

Slithering, formless
The primeval beast
Venomous rituals
The hellish dread

A writhing hideous mass
The delirium invoked

Tearing through the vortex
The funeral abyss

05. Death, Madness, Horror, Decay

Blackened our doom
Tearing through your soul
Praying to your fallen god
For death to make you whole

An infernal wisdom
The poisonous winds of the end
The blasphemy
Unfurling itself as we die

The spark is lit again
Inside of Satan's eye
In morbid sleep of death
All sanity defiled

Sulphurous madness
And putrid death

An infernal wisdom
The poisonous winds of the end
The blasphemy
Unfurling itself as we die

Infested with disease
The plague lives in your mind
Starving for the end to come
Wishing you were blind

Sulphurous madness
And putrid death

There is only death (death)
Madness (madness)
Horror and decay

An infernal wisdom
The poisonous winds of the end
The blasphemy
Unfurling itself as we die

Sulphurous madness
And putrid death

Sulphurous madness
And putrid death

06. Architects Of Madness

Ravenous the madness
Out of the elder depths
In dreams of the serpent
The creeping death

The subterranean hellstorm
The beasts of hell, now unbound
Dressed in death, through pain reborn
Legion of undead gods

The architects of madness
Born from poisonous soil
Heed the law of the undead
As the black stars align

Awakened, the pantheon
In a pestilent scourge
Through the darkness eternal
The primordial lore

Awakened, the pantheon
In a pestilent scourge
Through the darkness eternal
The primordial lore

The subterranean hellstorm
The beasts of hell, now unbound
Dressed in death, through pain reborn
Legion of undead gods
Gods

07. In A Thousand Horrors Crowned

Death now upon us
Older than time
The blasphemous choirs of hell
The poisonous cauldron
Of the elder gods
Emptied with feverish rage
The foulest of breaths
The blackest void
Yearning to tear you apart
Cancerous terrors
From the darkest depths
Our claws will dig into your heart

In a language long forgotten
In a thousand horrors crowned we rise

From the slumber of death, we awake
Festering with nameless dread unbound

The fathomless craters of absolute evil
In the throes of maddened terror

The lords from the deep
As gods among men
In sulphurous nightmares, reborn
The voiceless, the blind
Primal and foul
Demoniac darkness unbound
A vortex of madness
In ritual surge
Out of the voiceless grave
The primal presence
From slumber torn
The beasts of hell now unleashed

In a language long forgotten
In a thousand horrors crowned we rise

From the slumber of death, we awake
Festering with nameless dread unbound

The fathomless craters of absolute evil
In the throes of maddened terror, we die

And in a thousand horrors crowned we rise

Piercing through your quivering flesh
A vast blood-red light

In a language long forgotten
In a thousand horrors crowned

The fathomless craters of absolute evil
In the throes of maddened terror we die

And in a thousand horrors crowned we rise

08. Kaleidoscopic Mutations

I defy reality
My mind's an open grave
Banishment of the worms of reason
Sanity unsaved
Willful deformation
There's maggots in my bones
My skin becoming carbonized
As I melt here all alone

09. Ageless Evil

Closing in
Through starless dreams
Spectral demon of war

An infestation
Of chaos born
To reap the final score

In starless cities
Where mirrors scream
Ageless the evil reborn

From far beyond
The cryptic realms
The primal blackened void

Through cosmic static
On undead winds
The interstellar scourge

The ravenous
Obscure lore
In morbid sleep of death

In starless cities
Where mirrors scream
Ageless the evil reborn

From far beyond
The cryptic realms
The primal blackened void

I am the phantasm
I am the storm
Pure cosmic terror, the unholy spawn

Desolation covers the earth
Massive death
The foul winds to end all life
From the depths

I am the phantasm
I am the storm
Pure cosmic terror, the unholy spawn

10. One In Flesh

The demented grandeur
Of his thousand names
Mad transmutations
And phantasmagoric dreams

An intergalactic gloom
A hell obscure
Not death, but non-existence
This dream of flesh

The dregs of pandemonium rush forth
Monstrosities of paradox

In a blur of crimson shadows
Grotesque phenomena
Nocturnal rapturous
Equinox of life and death

Manifestations
Ashen bones and fevered blood
One in flesh as well as dreams
Awaken now the hounds of hell

A cosmos interior
A chaos at feast
The queen of nightmares
In our nothingness unleashed

Where starving shadows roam
In labyrinthine form
Inanimate perversion
The spectral beast

The dregs of pandemonium
Monstrosities of paradox

In a blur of crimson shadows
Grotesque phenomena
Nocturnal rapturous
Equinox of life and death

Manifestations
Ashen bones and fevered blood
One in flesh as well as dreams
Awaken now the hounds of hell

11. Restless Death

Choirs of thousand throats
On undead winds
Reverberating hymns
Symbols of our doom

Charnel fever, living death
Hunger of mad gods
Blasphemies dressed in dreams
In elder unknown tongues

Venomous nightmare realm
And endless maze
Breathe the evil poison winds
Of restless deaths

Summon the horror
The dreams that cannot die
Out of the void
Blackening the sky

Crawling out of slumber black
The horror is unleashed
A dreadful formless mass
With thousand eyes and teeth

Fevered madness roaring forth
Morbid sleep of death
Inhaling evil filth
The nameless, stench of hell

Venomous nightmare realm
An endless maze
Breathe the evil poison winds
Of restless deaths

Summon the horror
The dreams that cannot die
Out of the void
Blackening the sky

Your skin it turns to black
Leprous souls awake
Plague unknown
As your life decays

Crowned in painful death
As the earth it heaves
Hear the surge of the end
Rise the restless dead

12. Leech Of The Aeons

Blasphemous, fevered
The chants of the cult
Tempests of pestilent claws
From beneath the sea
Out of the abysmal void
From dead aeons past
Crowned with demonic breath
The manifest

A call from beyond
The gates of this earth
Leech of the aeons

Diabolic, nebulous
Abhorrence from the past
The one imprisoned in slumber
In naked celestial flesh

A call from beyond
The gates of this earth
Ravaged and doomed
Dismal and black
Leech of the aeons

Phenomena of ocean voids
Their claws upon your throats
Heritage of evil lore
Awakened from its sleep

In a city far beneath dead waves
The rule of the starving dead

Humanity driven insane
The beast from the cavern of flame
In uncounted aeons
Blessed with dreamless sleep
Awakened, the horror
From beyond the cryptic realms
