Over Innsmouth

NeonAstronaut

[intro spoken] "Where... does madness... leave off... and reality... begin?" [slow eerie banjo and orchestral instrumental] [Verse] feeling... feeling a pull... hearing a call... in my mind... hailing from... a lost place... in Space! in Time! disjointed... gibberish... noise vomit... in my auditory cortex... feeling tendrils twist and caress... the ridges of my hippocampus... --[instrumental interlude]-- (Innsmouth...) a growing shadow looms... (Innsmouth...) the forsaken place... I must go to... [heavy guitar riff followed by instrumental] [Pre-chours] Sinking is the city... over which... doth the Gibbous Moon... Shine! and Pulse! like A Giant!! Lidless Eye!!! [chorus] Over Innsmouth! What Shadow! looms... Spreading out before me! it's influence... blooms... the water ways... and broken streets... of fish and brine!!! Reek!!! It's Mouthless, soundless... voice... Doth Speak!!! Beckoning, coaxing... drawing me into the deep... [orchestral swell, followed by drums solo] [Verse] the people here... if that they can be called... with their black, wet eyes, that bulge and weep... gaping mouths... that open and close... skin slimy smooth... shine like scales... hear the Wheez, of struggling gills... by humanity no longer owned... the Old Ones now seat that throne... --[instrumental interlude]-- a pact was made... all those from Innsmouth... of the tainted blood... morphing... becoming of the Old Ones race... Cosmic! Eldritch!! Insane!!!! This is madness... but real all the same... [heavy guitar riff followed by instrumental] [Pre-chours] Sinking is the city... over which... doth the Gibbous Moon... Shine! and Pulse! like A Giant!! Lidless Eye!!! [chorus] Over Innsmouth! What Shadow! looms... Spreading out before me! it's influence... blooms... the water ways... and broken streets... of fish and brine!!! Reek!!! It's Mouthless, soundless... voice... Doth Speak!!! Beckoning, coaxing... drawing me into the deep... [orchestral swell, followed by instrumental] [bridge] let Innsmouth remain forgotten... let innsmouth be forsaken... isolated... it shall decay... piece by piece... crumble into the sea... I loathe it... yet it calls to me... over and over in my mind... "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" (EeeeeehAhhhhhhh!!) Black, wet and weeping... Turn my EYES!!!!! "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" (Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!) [Heavy guitar riff followed by instrumental] [outro] Over Innsmouth!!! A Shadow Looms!!! As Deep!!! And Surrounding!! As A Mothers Womb... I shall swim out!! and dive down... to dwell amidst... wonder... and glory... forever... [choir chants and slowly fades out] "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" . . .
