[verse 1] black tide rising without a sound bones of the drowned still shifting in ground eyes in the dark where no light should be whispers that crawl through the marrow of me salt in the lungs, ancient and cold names never spoken, never told the ocean remembers what we deny it waits… it waits… it never dies [pre-chorus] feel it turning in the deep something vast that does not sleep [chorus] Cthulhu rise… from the dead of the sea dragging the sky down over me no god left, no mind to save only the call from the lightless grave Cthulhu rise… hear the madness sing break every soul, unmake everything when it wakes, we cease to be lost in the depths eternally [verse 2] cyclopean shadows under the waves cities that rot in forgotten graves angles that twist and fracture the brain seeing them once drives a man insane flesh turns to ash at the sight of the form time folds in on a shapeless storm sanity cracks like a splintered mast future devoured, consumed by the past [pre-chorus] hear the chanting, low and slow from the void below, below [chorus] Cthulhu rise… from the dead of the sea dragging the sky down over me no god left, no mind to save only the call from the lightless grave Cthulhu rise… hear the madness sing break every soul, unmake everything when it wakes, we cease to be lost in the depths eternally [bridge] (slow, crushing, half-time) Ia… Ia… it breathes beneath Ia… Ia… awaken the deep (solo section feel, minimal words) stone… and… sleep… dreaming… it… creeps… (build) from… the… trench… it… ascends… [breakdown] (low, spoken/whispered) you were not meant to see you were not meant to know (rising scream) NOW THERE IS NO BELOW [final chorus] Cthulhu rise… from the dead of the sea dragging the sky down over me no god left, no mind to save only the call from the lightless grave Cthulhu rise… hear the madness sing end of all thought, end of all things when it wakes, we cease to be lost in the depths eternally [outro] (slow fade, crushing riff) below… below… below… [end]
