In the depths where shadows writhe, Where the sunlight dare not tread, Lies the temple of the beast, Where the damned souls weep and dread. From the waves, a figure storms, A monstrous form, a ghastly birth, The sailors scream, their minds unborn, As Dagon claws the earth. (Pre-Chorus) Beneath the surface, where the darkness breeds, In R'lyeh's ruins, the horrors feed, The Deep Ones chant, their voices cold, Summoning forth the ancient gold. (Chorus) Rise, Dagon, rise, From the abyss where you've lain, Rise, Dagon, with scaly hands, Claim the world as your domain. Your tentacled might, your endless reign, The earth will shatter, the seas will stain, Rise, Dagon, rise, And let the madness begin. (Verse 2) The Deep Ones dance, their gills aglow, In the ritual, their voices grow, A chant to wake the sleeping king, To bring the end to mortal things. The waves convulse, the tides collide, As Dagon stirs, the world divides, His breath a storm, his voice a quake, The gods themselves begin to shake. (Pre-Chorus) Beneath the surface, where the darkness breeds, In R'lyeh's ruins, the horrors feed, The Deep Ones chant, their voices cold, Summoning forth the ancient gold. (Chorus) Rise, Dagon, rise, From the abyss where you've lain, Rise, Dagon, with scaly hands, Claim the world as your domain. Your tentacled might, your endless reign, The earth will shatter, the seas will stain, Rise, Dagon, rise, And let the madness begin. (Bridge) The stars go dim, the moon hides its face, As Dagon's shadow fills the space, The land is scorched, the oceans boil, The final hour, the mortal coil. The world is doomed, the end is near, As Dagon's power draws ever clear, No escape, no hope, no light, In the darkness of the night. (Chorus) Rise, Dagon, rise, From the abyss where you've lain, Rise, Dagon, with scaly hands, Claim the world as your domain. Your tentacled might, your endless reign, The earth will shatter, the seas will stain, Rise, Dagon, rise, And let the madness begin. (Outro) Now the world is lost to the deep, As Dagon's reign we cannot keep, The horrors of the abyss ascend, And with them, our world will end. In the darkness, we'll all descend, To the realm where Dagon wields his hand, No escape, no hope, no light, In the eternal, suffocating night.
