Lyrics:

Dreams

In the night I scream
Revelations and nightmares
visions in my dreams
Of a monstrous beast

In my mind I see
At a distant nowhere
Something buried down deep
Hidden far underneath

Now the creature sleeps
Through its mind it can see
Watches in your sleep
Buried in the deep

Maybe it’s just me
Lost inside a nightmare
My mind is tricking me
To believe all these things

Is what I see real?
Or hallucination
Gets a grip on me
Like some mysterious disease

The Depths

The sun quickly fading away
Swallowed by the depths
The darkness enveloping me
I near my last breath

Sink deeper into the abyss
fade into the fold
A cold blooded god there awaits
From a cold world below

The sound from below
The Intestines of doom
Like the trumpets of hades
the dogs of the moon

Now the song of that siren
Will carry (you) away
Pull you deeper and deeper
And there you will stay

The worlds below
Are something unknown
Will chill to the bone
And swallow you whole

The bowels below
So ancient and cold
I see
worlds underneath me

The gods of the cold
Their power unfolds
I scream
But no one can hear me

Black Seas of Death

Turned my gaze to the sea
Now it’s all that I see
Through the air and debris
Something staring at me

Black seas of death

Lost inside of these dreams
Only things I can see
Ocean waters and seas
Death is whispering to me

Black seas of death

Witness the Beast

Summon a demon
(Risen in front of) my eyes
Such is our pain now
Suffers the curious mind

Fruitful inventions
Of curiosity
Fruitful inventions in a
garden of misery

What is this
Before my eyes?
Traveled so far
Just to know

Realized
All of my fears
Witnessed a beast
Of the unknown

Shuck off the
Words of the wise
Turn my gaze
To the sea

Come to a strange land
Alone
Drink of the blood
Of disease

What is this
Before our eyes?
Traveled so far
Just to know

Realized
All of our fears
Stolen our minds
With a dream

The Sun Won't Shine

Sunshine
Outside
My mind
So bright

Bright light
Late night
So bright
Such might

The sun won’t shine
For you again

Demons
I’ve seen
Deep sea
Obscene

Watching
Green skin
Now starts
The end

The sun won’t shine
For you again

Illusions

Images Burn in
my mind
All that is real Melts
like time

My mind becomes
mystery
Sudden confusion
In me

Forlorn
Dead bones

Hallucinations still drone
Smiles and faces like stone
Head out of water, the below
Can’t help but Sink like a stone

New light Has blinded
my eyes
Darkness Has poisoned
My mind

Products of madness
in time
voices from below
still guide

The Dream God Wakes

Is this real or a dream?
Nightmares, laughter, and screams

Eyes open wide
Of a terrified mind
There is one thing they know
Of the depths down below

Ancient gods in my dreams
Twist(ing) my reality
Visions snatch at my will
Suddenly become real

Eyes open wide
Of a terrified mind
There is one thing they know
Of the depths down below

Eyes open wide
Of a terrified mind
There is one thing they know
Of the depths down below

Feel how the earth shakes
Dream god is awake
see the will of men break
Dream god is awake

Feel how the earth shakes
Dream god is awake
see (how) the will of men break
Dream god is awake

Eyes open wide
Of a terrified mind
There is one thing they know
Of the depths down below

Eyes open wide
Of a terrified mind
There is one thing they know
Of the depths down below

Feel how the earth shakes
Dream god is awake
see the will of men break
Dream god is awake

Feel how the earth shakes
Dream god is awake
see the will of men break
Dream god

Gods and Monsters

Now the giant speaks
While our minds are sleep
Creeping into our dreams
Horror death and deceit

Dragon octopus beast
reaches out from beneath
pulls us into its teeth
God of the deep

now a curse from below
Summons beasts of old
As we fall through the cold
To oblivion

Let the battle rage
Strike the beasts in the face
Even though death has come
They’ll remember our name

Let the story be told
Send us to the beyond
Let the legend unfold
Send us and we’ll be gone
