Invoker

It's by mercy alone, that I cannot recount
The memories fade and I weaken
A glimpse of old things, vile and cruel
Haunting my dreams when I doze
The Spawn of Stars, Cthulhu and kin
Invoked by a cult in their folly
They called the ones who would trample and crawl upon Earth
Now their own

Then I beheld Kadath's cloud-hidden peak
And I beheld the Crawling Chaos beneath
They kneel 'fore the invoker
The Old Ones, awakened again

The days are a fog, the misty unreal
I wait for the night and my ruin
Of vistas strange lands passing below
The shantak I ride when I doze
I hear Atal and Nyarlathotep, the chanting of one I would slaughter
He speaks the name, from Leng he invokes the Old Gods, the Old Ones

Then I beheld Kadath's cloud-hidden peak
And I beheld the Crawling Chaos beneath
I kneel 'fore the invoker
The Old Ones, awakened again

Before he raises The Goat and Her Thousand
Before he calls the ones he cannot put back, I will attack
Before The Deep Ones come rising and crawling
Before he calls the ones he cannot put back, I will attack
They kneel 'fore the invoker
The Old Ones, awakened again

The moment has come, the horror unreal
They wait at the gate, but I see them
And in my mind I will always recall the sound of the Gods as they rose
I hear him call and horrendous reply
The chanting will bring his own slaughter
The dagger shines in the hand of the fool
And I throw my own in his heart

Then I beheld Kadath's cloud-hidden peak
And I beheld the Crawling Chaos beneath
Smite the invoker!
The Old Ones, awakened again
