Cephalectomy - Unto the Darkly Shining A lyrics

[- The Covenant of Vengeance - 9:09]

We are the lost ones of a time before time

We are the burning pain upon souls of men

We are the iniquitous children born of Earth

We are standing at the foundations of Chaos

Know that man was spawned from the blood of Kingu

Commander to the hordes of the dreadful Ancient ones

And know now that man does possess his baneful spirit

This the cold seed of rebellion against those Elder gods

And blood of man is the blood of vengeance

And blood of man is the spirit of vengeance

And power of man is power of the Ancients

And let it be known that this is the covenant

Know that man holds the sign, the shape and the number

By which he may summon the stale blood of his parents

And know that this is the covenant created by Elder gods

Man is the key in which the gate may be again flung wide

Such as man is the key

By which the ancient ones

may seek their vengeance

Upon the mighty Cthulhu

Whom lies between worlds

And does truely call death

To those in realm of men

As they are keys of demise

[- Of Cephalomancy and Mystic Etchings - 8:25]

As Marduk lies.. Dreaming

A vision of chaos..

Filled with dread.. Fear

Awaken to see.. Dreams

Cthulhu lying upon bodies of men

Upon time to cross..

Saw burning.. Gods

Upon corpse of Tiamat

Sixty times water of life

As she may call to Ancient gods

Hearken Tiamat! and know as i speak this unto you i am he whom hath restored

your life. Go forth unto your Ancient bretherin and speak unto them i have seen

their faces in death. With all powers of Cephalomancy i have conjured visions

of the futre and it is one of unlife. Know that the mighty Cthulhu shall consume all

and all shall be as dead but not dreaming. Tiamat did rear up upon the body of

Marduk and she did become as smoke unto winds. Marduk did begin his journey

upon the realm of men and did become as man himself. Between space he flew

as light between stars unto the sphere of Kia he did become. And so he did set

out among men to find the key to the gates of baneful mighty Cthulhu

Over worlds

Between spaces

Across lands

Through seas

And one man shall be the salvation of our kind and of their own kind for he is

the key. Yet upon the woods i do find this ecclesiastic soul whom holds the

sacred keys of sorcery. Awakening of our souls yields a name a shape and a

number by which the gate may open. Upon throes of maelstrom a binding of

light to the sigil of Cthulhu known as a sign of chaos

Through seas

Across lands

Between spaces

Over worlds

Where upon the thrones of Tiamat i did stoop and beside me the key of man did

kneel down. With a baneful howl the body of tiamat did rear upon the key and he

did stand fast and strong. Marduk you have come to me once more with a one

from races of men so tell me of visions. And with that the Ancient ones surrounded

our bodies and we did call out to the death of Cthulhu

Over worlds

Between spaces

Across lands

Through seas

Beyond the wanderers of night they rose yet past the winged elementals, before

dimensional manifestations, beyond the ethereal vortex, past fallen ruins of Kia,

and through gates of astral frost they journeyed. And it was known to them that

this one of men would be the key to life. And Kingu did summon weapons with

no equal of power that they may do battle against this Ancient god of rebellion and

lies. For it was known that a magnificent battle was upon them.

Whence upon the first gate they did arrive they did kneel

and they did call to the watcher for strength.

[- The Burning Disks of Unlife - 0:87]

Before the first gate the key did stand, summoning a whirlwind of force he opened

the gate. Beyond a dormant corridor lies faces of monsters

Under path of Cthulhu they follow and they howl

Let us make bones of bodies, heaps of their flesh

A battle ensued of a great time and of destruction

Yet as all became clear

Those of Marduk standing

Masses of gravaged bones

Piles of that decaying flesh

Upon the gate of two the did stum with the blood of monsters upon their faces

Let any whom dare satnd before us hearken forth now lest i summon demons

That they may do battle against any whom do stand in shadows of loathing fear

Before us stand and make yourself known to me lest i summon those demons

Shadows did appear as one and did stand before those of Marduk and of Tiamat

Before sound or light the shadows lashed with disks of blackness and of death

It was known that the head of Ishtar did fall upon ground as death shrouded her

Marduk cried out with spears of fire upon the spirit and blew an evil wind upon it

[- Demons of the Wanderings - 1:09]

Enraged.. with emotion

Upon her corpse.. a sword

In spaces.. between spaces

We hid her body as laid to rest

Upon .. gate of three

We stood.. and it opened

Passed.. as would be

At gate of four we stood before

He of men stood before the gate of four

Lord Shammash upon unto me your gate

By name of Uddu i beg of you open to me

Lest i break apart its barriers with forces

With a blinding light the gate did open wide

Revealing unto all a beast of dark wanderings

And it did rise upon he of men with sorcery

Yet Marduk did summon winds of bane into it

As the Akhkharu reared upon its sepentine belly

It raised upon Marduk with an evil emotion

Edin na zu! Edin na zu! Destroyer of worlds!

Binding in fear and clasped upon hands of stars

Arise! Go far away! Be shamed! Flee! Turn away from my body!

Go to the desert! I command thee! In name of shammash

Go to the desert! Not to rise before me once more

Be commanded by Shammash the mighty

Be commanded by gods of magick, your destroyer!

Kakkammu Kanpa Barra Homme!

Zi Dingir Kia Kanpa!

[- The Battle of all Endings - 4:20]

Yet in realms of Cthulu he did grow weary of such battles

And did cast spells of opening upon those remaining gates

Called.. from past

As day turned unto darkness marduk did draw ever near

As Cthulhu reared upon his throne with a baneful howl

Stand.. before me

Marduk did enter upon the realm of Cthulhu with caution

Cthulhu did close the final gate before others may have entered

Now.. your death

Marduk lept fourth upon cthulhu with spears of demon spawn

As Cthulhu lunged with howls of demonic monster serpents

Who.. shall fall

With a flame and howl of calling

Marduk fell with wounds of death

With spears and howls of calling

Cthulhu fell with wounds of death

Marduk undead nor dreaming

Staring eyes of the others death

Cthulhu undead nor dreaming

Staring unto the eyes of death

Hearken Cthulhu and hear me as i speak unto you

You have called us forth for your death as known

What spirits of iniquity did fill your soul with treachery

It is upon you i lay my sword for it is your fates that call

Cthulhu did become filled with fires of strength and sorcery

As Marduk lay upon ground he did become pale with fear

With an enraged yell Cthulhu did beckon all forces of Uggae

For now it would be the magician who would lye dreaming

Be known elder god your fates are howling death and dreams

One shall fall in as death and all shall be known of his loss

As Cthulhu lay the blade of Marduk's sword upon his body

And with a swift motion the corpse of Marduk lay without head

Storms of black rain fell upon the land and the final gate opened

Once more mighty Tiamat stared upon Cthulhu and saw the corpse

The last thing Tiamat did see as Cthulhu did rendered her lifeless

And many would stand before Cthulhu and all would be as death

Yet one stood upon the throne of Cthulhu with sword of Marduk

And as Cthulhu did sense a presence he saw his enemies face

As the blade did carve out upon the throat of the mighty serpent

Lifeless Cthulhu fell upon the corpse of Tiamat, headless and dreaming

[- Markings of Chaos - 6:66]

Stoop not down...

Unto a darkened abyss..

Realms of death..

Of darkened waters..

A wind has risen! Dark waters stir! Signs of Chaos!
