Lyrics Basil Abscond - Back To R'lyeh

Basil Abscond

I write these lines, knowing this is my last night
I’m afraid of what will come… Behind…
One survivor of 25, shattered I arrived…
I think that something’s followed me…
Its here…
We awoke something there…
In the depths of the Earth
In the chasms of stone… In the galleries…
Unfortunately, My thirst of knowledge
Became a terrible evil for mankind…
Famous scientist and an authority
On ancient inscriptions…
A substantial inheritance will finance the mission…
After many years, at last I found the sign
A sinister trace of certain ancient cult
And hypnotized I read the forgotten words
All lost in rotten books… Invocations
Then I caught a thread, a thread made of lies
Hidden in the labyrinth of abandon…
But a clear mark for my trained mind
I will be the first, I will be the One…
If these books are right
I know exactly where to find
There where others failed I will win the fight…
Years of plans, thousands of notes…
Showing me that at last the key was mine
I wanted to capture one of these beings
Changing forever the world as we know
These creatures half fish — half reptile…
They couldn’t ever beat the modern man…
Then I learned about the Sleeping Ones
Waiting down in the abyss…
…hidden since the sun was young
Dreaming with their time to come…
And every night while we read the maps
We hear the call… Navigating…
As I dreamed.
we went there
To the south — Under unknown stars…
With a strong conviction…
I hired a superb team of experts…
But I didn’t comprehend the magnitude
Of that quest…
Failure, Failure, Failure, Failure…
We arrived plenty of glory
Plunged in destiny
Right to the abyss of the night
I didn’t care how old were these symbols of gods
Carved in stone…
But then I was convinced of my victory
I solved the mistery…
In a land near of the pole
Out of the sight of human eyes…
We arrived plenty of glory
Plunged in destiny
Right to the abyss of the night
I didn’t care how old were these symbols of gods
Carved in stone…
