The Rotten Waste

from Demo by Hellige

/

lyrics

A waning moon brings forth a dewless dawn
Creep the rays of light throughout the sky
Reaching the clouds and stars with it's grasp
Dims the night, celestial passerby

The roar of an ancient god, flaming beyond
mounds and spires and ruins of old
Summons waves of blistering heat,
sears thru the landscape as ancient forebode

Reek the weak that lurk in the dark
Feeble the creatures that hide from the light

Colour and splendour, disease and decaying,
Shrieking and ringing and crawling insane,
Rabbles exotic to stranger gods praying,
Jumbles of odour that stifle the brain.*

Ruins forgotten and wreckage and bane
Echoes of voices that hide in the shades

Ruins forgotten and wreckage and bane
In the rotten waste only the charioteer rides

*["The Cats", H.P. Lovecraft]
