Basil Abscond - Back To R'lyeh

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…
