Nile - Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten (Annihilation of the Wicked) lyrics
[Nile - Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten Annihilation of the Wicked lyrics]
I hath dreamed bleak and grim
Desolate visions
Of the pre human serpent volk
And communed with long-dead reptiles
Silently watching through the ages in cold
Curious apathy
The unending sorrows and suffering
Of an abysmal humankind
I dare not again surrender to the
Deep sleep which ever beckons me
Lest I in dread
Shudder at the nameless things
That may at this very moment
Be crawling and lurking
At the slimy edges of my consciousness
Slithering forth from the bowels
Of their infernal pit's
Worshipping their ancient stone idols and
Carving their own detestable likenesses
On subterranean obelisks of
Blood-soaked granite
I await the day when the
Claws of doom shall rise
To drag down in their
Reeking talons the weary
And hopeless remnants of a jaded, decayed
War-despairing mankind
Of a day when the earth shall open wide
And the black, bottomless
Yawning abyss engulfs the arrogant
Civilizations of man
Chthonic retribution shall ascend
Amidst universal pandemonium and those
Who slither and crawl
Shall rise again once more
To inherit the earth
Desolate visions
Of the pre human serpent volk
And communed with long-dead reptiles
Silently watching through the ages in cold
Curious apathy
The unending sorrows and suffering
Of an abysmal humankind
I dare not again surrender to the
Deep sleep which ever beckons me
Lest I in dread
Shudder at the nameless things
That may at this very moment
Be crawling and lurking
At the slimy edges of my consciousness
Slithering forth from the bowels
Of their infernal pit's
Worshipping their ancient stone idols and
Carving their own detestable likenesses
On subterranean obelisks of
Blood-soaked granite
I await the day when the
Claws of doom shall rise
To drag down in their
Reeking talons the weary
And hopeless remnants of a jaded, decayed
War-despairing mankind
Of a day when the earth shall open wide
And the black, bottomless
Yawning abyss engulfs the arrogant
Civilizations of man
Chthonic retribution shall ascend
Amidst universal pandemonium and those
Who slither and crawl
Shall rise again once more
To inherit the earth
