[male] [INTRO - spoken] The stars wheel toward alignment. The angles of this place — they bend correctly now. We have waited. We have called. Tonight, the priest speaks first. Tonight, the sea will answer. [VERSE 1] From the depths below the depths Where no light has ever gone In the city that is dreaming Waits the one who was before [CHORUS] Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh Wgah'nagl fhtagn [VERSE 2] We have drawn the elder sigils We have spoken ancient names We have opened what was sealed And we will not close again [CHORUS] Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh Wgah'nagl fhtagn [VERSE 3] Feel the water moving wrong Feel the pressure in your skull That is not the wind that's singing That is something waking up [CHORUS] Ia! Ia! Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn! [VERSE 4] The geometry is shifting Do you feel your angles break? What you thought was solid matter Was just all that He forsake [CHORUS] Ia! Ia! Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn! [BRIDGE] Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh Wgah'nagl fhtagn — He dreams, He waits, He stirs Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh The stars are right — Ia! Ia! — He stirs [VERSE 5] Thirty centuries below the waves The sunken city holds its breath Every cultist, every dreamer Every sailor, every death Ng'ai, ng'ha'ghaa, bugg-shoggog Y'hah — Yog-Sothoth — the gate We are nothing but the signal He is all that lies in wait [VERSE 6] Through the veil between the ages Through the crack in sleeping minds Everything that you call madness Is the truth that He designed [BRIDGE] Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh Wgah'nagl fhtagn — He dreams, He waits, He stirs Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh The stars are right — Ia! Ia! — He stirs [VERSE 7] Something moves beneath the water Something vast and without name Do you see the sky unfolding? Do you feel it — are you sane? [CHORUS] Ia! Ia! Ia! Ia! Cthulhu! Cthulhu! Ia fhtagn! Ia fhtagn! [OUTRO - spoken] The sea is... different now. The sky is... the angles have not returned to what they were. Whether He heard us — Whether He is rising, or simply... turning over in His dream — We cannot know. We will not know. Until the coast receives its answer. Ia fhtagn. Ia fhtagn.
