Dark Silent One - Zushakon

*This song contains some spoilers about an entity from the short story "The Bells of Horror" by Henry Kuttner* *Dedicated to Venus and the Silversoul (NC 2078) for reminding me of obscure and more cuddly figures from the Cthulhu mythos.* Zha-kul Zushakon, umbra noctis Zha-kul Zushakon, mors infinita A shaman’s tomb cracked, exposing ancient relics Three bells were rung, and these fools unleashed the curse The air turned to frost, their eyes began to burn As a dark shape formed Worshippers knelt, their minds torn apart Their screams fed the dark, as it corrupted, their hearts Dark Silent One Light despiser Swirling elemental of earth Reducing all with a bright-less aim Zushakon Plays a perfect game In caves long abandoned, cults gather to pray Their voices invoking what they could never perceive A monk rang the bells, his sight turned to pain Flesh fell from his bones, before his mind knew to scream Dark Silent One Light despiser Swirling elemental of earth Reducing all with a bright-less aim Zushakon Plays a perfect game An eclipse hid the sun, the sea looked of dread Sailors almost saw wings, as they clawed eyes from head His crew fell in terror, their souls were drained Dark Silent One disturbed, now they're nothing but stains Zha-kul Zushakon, umbra vadis Zha-kul Zushakon, mors infinita Altars can't hold it Its essence defies what the soul can sustain A scribe struck the bells And the story is the same The stars dim in fear, when its toll sounds again One move from Zushakon, and their life will end Dark Silent One Light despiser Swirling elemental of earth Reducing all with a bright-less aim Zushakon Plays a perfect game Zha-kul Zushakon, umbra noctis Zha-kul Zushakon, mors infinita Zha-kul Zushakon, umbra vadis Zha-kul Zushakon, mors eterna
