"...not the oldest or the last of earth's masters. Nor that the common bulk of life and substance walks alone. The old ones were, the old ones are, and the old ones shall be. Not in the spaces we know, but between them, they walk, serene and primal, undemented, and to us, unseen. Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. He knows where They have trod earth's fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread..."

Death

She is who brought death into our world,
she is what we cannot ignore.
She will make life fade away,
She will return upon the promised day.
Did we call her...
Did we call her
here?!
We'll face
the devil
on this
day.
We'll fight
a god
no other
way.
We choose
and seal
our own
fate.
We hope
and pray
it's not
too late.
Did we call her...
Did we call her-
He who held death in his heart,
he was dealt the wild card.
He will plunge into the black,
not knowing if he will come back. [x2]
"I am the harbinger of the fall.
You know my name, I am no stranger to you all.
I am that which you cannot defeat.
It is regrettable, the fate you meet."
No!
We
wont
let
him die. [x.....several times]

Flood

All lost, over night.
Claiming possessions and lives.
We think our empire is so strong,
but one flood and it's all gone.
Just when we're comfortable,
something shows us we're not invincible.
And that it's not as hard as it seems...
To bring mankind to it's knees.
Swallowed all the land,
forcing where you stand.
You never feel so powerless
until you're under the sand of
an hour glass.
Just when we're comfortable,
something shows us we're not invincible.
And that it's not as hard as it seems...
To bring mankind to it's knees. [x2]
Sometimes, you just don't expect it.
Nature knocks you to the ground.
We spend so much time interconnected,
we forget we're afraid to drown. [x2]
Just when we're comfortable,
something shows us we're not invincible.
And that it's not as hard as it seems...
To bring mankind to it's knees. [x2]

You don't
even know where to start.
You don't
even know where you are.
Shopping mall,
frozen stiff.
Shopping karts
in snowdrifts.
I
I can't remember
last December...
But I
I remember
Miss pretender.
It's time
to figure out where you parked.
It's time
to figure out who you are.
This is
the last I walk this mile.
This is
the last of my fake smiles.
I
I can't remember
last December...
But I
I remember
Miss pretender.
This was never meant to be who I was,
this was never meant to be.
And every little thing you thought that I was,
not a bit of that is me. [x2]
I
I can't remember
last December...
But I
I remember
Miss pretender.
You don't even know where to start...
You don't even know where you are...

This is just insanity,
a made by man calamity.
You're trying to appeal to
me with overbearing prophecy.
A little bit manipulative,
with messages indicative
of who is allowed to live.
Punch a hole in the side of the universe.
I want to leave the earth.
(Beam me up)
I want to leave the earth.
(Beam me up)
I want to leave the earth.
(Beam me up)
I want to leave the earth.
(Beam me up)
Punch a hole in the side of the universe.
(Look to the sky, the end is nigh) [xseveral times]
I want to leave the earth, I want to leave the earth,
I want to leave the earth, I want to leave.

Broke, Dead, & Cursed

Tell me why you always seem to
think you know what's best for me?
Does it occur that you might know
way less than you seem to think?
I dig my own grave.
Your mind creates a world of your own
that suits you, and only you,
but as hard as you try, you can't escape
the end or what is true.
I dig my own grave.
And I'll sleep in it.
You
think I'm cursed.
You
always fear the worst.
You
think I'm cursed
You
always fear the worst.
To criticize, even lie,
from atop your platitudes.
Your friends are lies, fame a disguise,
all in popular attitudes.
I dig my own grave.
To think what you say and say what you think
does not a rebel make.
You're no more free, it's all a machine,
leaving the dead in it's wake.
I dig my own grave.
And I'll sleep in it.
Unlike you, you worthless
hypocrite.
You
think I'm cursed.
You
always fear the worst. [x2]
It doesn't matter how much money you make,
or which path in life you decide to take.
It wont make you more right or wrong,
you can stop talking 'cause I'm already gone.
You
think I'm cursed.
You
always fear the worst.
You
think I'm cursed.
You
always fear the worst.
You
think I'm cursed.
You always fear the worst.
(Tell me why you)
Think I'm cursed.
(Always seem to think you know what's best for me)
Always fear the worst...
