What Can Be Safely Written



Nile - What Can Be Safely Written - Текст песни

Great Cthulhu
 Ever the warrior God
 Of all the old ones
 He is the most terrible
 For it is his delight
 To slay and lay waste to everything that lies beneath his taloned feet
 And the very lust to conquer
 What was once free
 Drives him onward across the heavens and through the spheres

 It was he and his spawn
 That defeated the elder things
 Who had long possessed sovereignty of this world
 Before he descended on his gray and leathern wings
 Through the upper gate opened by yog sothoth

 On the walls of lost cities
 And in the carvings of madmen
 Who have glimpsed him in their dreams
 Is his image delineated
 Within a tomb protected by great seals
 He lies in death
 Under the weight of the dark waters of the deep
 Yet he dreams still
 And in his dreams continues to rule this world
 For his thoughts master the walls of lesser creatures

 [solo: Dallas]

 When the stars in their endless turnings
 Assume the angles of the same rays they shed down
 In the primordial dawn of the world
 Then does r'lyeh rise upward so the house of Cthulhu
 Emerges from under his watery prison
 The mind of the god waxes strong
 And he sends forth his will to those men
 Who are open to his influence
 The command to release the seals that bind his tomb

 [solo: Karl]

 Always the stars
 Never remain in alignment long enough
 For the enslaved men to reach distant r'lyeh
 Before r'yleh sinks once more under the sea
 Severing the bond
 Between the will of Cthulhu
 And the flesh of those he has enthralled
 Leaving them to wail in confusion and despair
 Upon the bosom of the vacant sea

 [solo: Karl]
