Lyrics The Shadow over Innsmouth - The Great Old Ones

The Shadow over Innsmouth

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!
