'The Crawling Chaos' is our debut single from our upcoming Lovecraftian influenced album. Progressive metal meets cosmic horror. This song is inspired by the Outer God, Nyarlathotep.

lyrics

He made me
Dreamed, then dismayed
My dream is of an earth that will break
And where the chaos and anarchy reigns
Something I have the power to create
They are just apes
Distracted by golden displays
Driven into a mad haze
The Faceless God they heed
They're all in this nightmare
So easy for me to mislead
I won't crush
I'll slowly decay
They say the crawling chaos has a thousand faces and forms
It is only a matter of time
Until the entire earth is displaced
The maddened seem sane
All the weak are the strong
For they bow to his reign
They've never seen me
For what I'm really
This handsomely man
A visual disease
Brothers and sisters
Lay sleeping or beyond the stars
While I walk among them
And they will all bow down to the Pharaoh
(The Faceless god they heed)
They're all just meaningless to me
(Still follow)
And score by the score
I keep them in toe
All mindless puppets
No backbones to show
It's I
To welcome them home
I welcome them home
I don't expect them to see me
Just praise me as the almighty
It's all just a game
I could kill them all
Rather drive them insane
I find pleasure in war and suicide
But if they were all gone
That pleasure would not be mine
The Black Wind said to me
“Watch your back”
And then it's
Just a matter of time
'Til your family want you dead
So far
I'm not able to sleep
I've spent every waking moment
In the chaos of ecstasy
I am now and forever
I'll never not want more
I'll trick these pathetic fools
Until their planets rotten to the core
I'm predatory
Live for the glory
Creating the mentally sick
I take all of the father and mothers
Turn them on themselves and their children and lovers
Watch the display
I manipulated them all just to break
Oh it has been
The most boundless of joys
To watch them dance
