From the recording Rise of Ancients
Lyrics
[Intro]
Bolt the door...
Hold your breath...
The deep ones come with midnight’s death
[Verse 1]
Shadows twist beyond the pane
Eyes like moons, wide and insane
Footsteps echo on the floor
Bloated hands test every door
Trapped inside this rotting tomb
A coastal inn becomes my doom
Walls breathe salt and floorboards moan
They know I’m here — and I’m alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Skin like kelp and
gills that wheeze
They chant in tongues
beneath the seas
"Y’ha-nthlei!
Y’ha-nthlei!"
The spawn of Dagon hunt their prey
[Chorus]
Run through the night, through streets of slime
Flee from the spawn that mock all time
Beneath the tide, the bloodline waits
Born of the reef and ancient hates
[Verse 2]
Through alleys slick with brine and bile
Over rooftops stretched with guile
Each breath a scream, each step a sin
The deeper truth crawls from within
Their faces blur — not man, not beast
From sunken rites, they were released
Their eyes are mine, their dreams now throb
I hear the pulsing of the god
[Bridge]
And in that final sprint through dark...
The truth unveils its final mark
What I escape, I still become
The deep is calling — and I succumb
[Chorus]
Run through the night, through streets of slime
Flee from the spawn that mock all time
Beneath the tide, the bloodline waits
Born of the reef and ancient hates
[Chorus]
Run through the night, through streets of slime
Flee from the spawn that mock all time
Beneath the tide, the bloodline waits
Born of the reef and ancient hates
[Outro]
I saw the reef… I saw the gate
My name erased, absorbed by fate
My soul unmoored, my mind undone…
I flee no more — I am the one.
[Final Whisper]
Y’ha-nthlei…
I come home…
