[To the Memory of H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith and Frank Belknap Long]



I'm Obscure, the shadow black

Alone I walk on the shunned path

Centuries mine, reveal the past

The unknown yawning black



Treading the lone path others fear to explore

Open gates to realm of eternal night

Material world, nothing to me now

I am one with the darkness

Seek not the light



Alien core, light is not for me

Free in the dark with the coffin worm

Survived alone in the world's dusk

Your gods are dead, earth buried them



Riding the night wind

Soar above the tombs

Of sorcerers departed and towers burned

Doom has taken shape and sealed Earth's fate

Still I live strange years

Stand beneath the stars



Free to ride the solar winds

Above the dying land

Taking my solace in dimensions far

This pale, blank aeon...



Recall years when the worlds sailed

Darkling tides in crimson skies

In galleries ever I search

For haunted crypts where no lamp burns



Lurking in the cavern deep within the mind

Crowning the throne of dreams with the blackened gems

Dwelling in the towers both ruined and vast

I am he who returnes when the scythe shall fall



Free to ride the solar winds

Above the dying land

Taking my solace in dimensions far

This pale, blank aeon...



Once I sough the shape of the world around me

Once I dreamed I'd walk the common path

Once I let the weakened minds disguise me

Once I thought I lost my outer shell



[Lead: Dan]



Dark world is rising

The sky is black

The light of day's not coming back



[Lead: Perry]



I'm the night, my visions dark

Alone I tread the ancient track

Centuries mine, learned from the past

The unknown yawning black



Treading the lone path others fear to explore

Open gates to realm of eternal night

Finding the release in the cosmic scheme

Welcome the exile from those they called men



Free to ride the solar winds

Above the dying land

Taking my solace in dimensions far

Breathe deep the dark!
