The Shadow over Innsmouth - The Great Old Ones

An infamous smell of fish

Try to divert my head from the shore

But being here was my wish

In this dilapidated harbor

I see it at the horizon

Like in my nightmare

A gigantic black swan

The devil reef, fascination and fear

I remember what my ancestors wrote

About his dreams

And this infernal quote

Recited in Zadok’s screams

I have to know

What happened to him

This is the time now

To enter the grim ruins, grim!

I penetrated onto darkness

Visions of chaos, visions of death

Churches to ashes, demented cult, only signs of sickness

Strange sculptures still stand

Ungodly forms in front of me

The remains of a cult which was banned

The cult of Dagon, lord of the sea

The Shadow over Innsmouth!

Everything around me feels like madness

I plunge my hands into stinking debris

Fighting my infinite sadness

Because I know my ancient life is behind me

My ancient life is behind me!

My ancient life is behind me!

My ancient life is behind me!

Behind me!
