[intro spoken word backed by creaking metalic sounds, distant screaming] [tone is contemptuous or condescending] Allow me the vanity of introducing myself. I am many different things and depending on where we meet i can be your savior or a horror that puts your concepts of evil to shame. Known by many names, whisperer in the dark, the black man, the key, but the one i keep coming back to is NYARLATHOTEP. [beats kick in and vocals are sung] Nyarlathotep- the will of the outer gods, the avatar of Azathoth, blind idiot god Nyarlathotep Nyarlathotep say my name, hear it ring in your mouth like the end of things, let it dance on your lips like plasma burns Nyarlathotep i might inhale your atmosphere in a breath or spread a thought of betrayal into your heart leading to the blood of innocents on your hands. Tawil’at’umer is the gate as i am the key IA IA IA FTAGN FALL BEFORE ME ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE INTO MY SIGHT [verse] I have many forms and watch the life and death of galaxies like you might listen to a song and among the horrors which have attached themselves to your inconsequential species, the one you most need fear is me. (THE ONE YOU MOST NEED FEAR IS ME)1 Nyarlathotep: say it softly Nyarlathotep: scream it till your throat bleeds NYARLATHOTEP: dance deranged in debauchery Say it like suicide because if i want you You are mine [build] If you see or hear me, curl fetal As extinction is my bottle of wine Famine my breath And a planet’s collective sudden death scream A sound that pleases me From coven association to dreamland elder god I am the land of Nod which God will not look upon IA IA IA NNNNYARRRLATHOTEP [switch to distant strained female voice] Clutching pipes and screaming verse [switch back to alien monster voice] SAY IT SAY IT I SAID SAY IT NYARLATHOTEP I hear you [vocal mixed high, distortion and overdrive effects, monstrous and utterly inhuman] I FUCKING HEAR YOU [sudden end of song]
