Stormlord - Medusa's Coil lyrics

Let me tell you a story

happened to me

that changed my life

and will chill the blood in your veins

Lonely I was roaming

unaware of what could lurk beyond the hills

hidden in twilight's shades

Chutulu's spawn

older then time and space themselves

through the cellar floor it rises

Chutulu's spawn

a twisted geometry in her sight

The horror

The sky turned to black

I reached for a near shelter,

a gloomy house where an old host

was keeping a grim tale

He told me about the girl

who stole the soul of his son, she led the house

to ruin and pain and still she haunt that place:

Chutulu's spawn

older then time and space themselves

through the cellar floor it rises

Chutulu's spawn

I must escape from this dark mansion

Terror rising

Her long black hair it seemed to live

Reminding the ancient myth of Medusa

"Do you want to see the: thing upstairs?"

was the old man daring me?

"Stare at her portrait and she will come back to life"

and the painting started to move:

again: and again: and again

As I saw her image I understood

the truth was more than meets the eye

She incarnated the ancient ones

that should not exist

the unholy Necronomicon's forgotten breed

Possessed by fear I found my hand wielding the gun

shooting with frantic speed

'till the painting was destroyed

I ran away from that place and later on the road

a farmer told me that that house

was burnt six years ago
