1.	Dunwich Horror (Intro) 03:16	lyrics	buy track
Dunwich! Horror! "It must be allow'd, that these Blasphemies of an infernall Train of Daemons are Matters of too common Knowledge to be deny'd The cursed Voices of Azazel and Buzrael, of Beelzebub and Belial Being heard now from under Ground by above a Score of credible Witnesses now living I my self did not more than a Fortnight ago catch a very plain Discourse of evil Powers in the Hill behind my House Wherein there were a Rattling and Rolling, Groaning Screeching, and Hissing, such as no Things of this Earth Cou'd raise up And which must needs have come from those Caves that Only black Magick can discover, and only the Divell Unlock" Dunwich! Horror!

Upon the hills and within the forests Is where our story begins A small village the people call “Dunwich” Lying within Western Massachusetts Centuries and centuries of dark magick Is said to taint these lands Leading up to 1928 when something called “The Horror” swept through to challenge man CURSED IS THIS TOWN VILE ENERGY SEEPS UP FROM THE GROUND A STRANGE FAMILY KNOWN FOR RITUALS PERFORMED IN A CIRCLE OF STONES THE HILLS WILL SHAKE WITH THE NAME, “YOG-SOTHOTH” AN OFFERING GROWN FOR THE OUTER GODS WAITS SILENTLY AND PATIENTLY BROODING IN THE DARK NEVER TO BE SEEN UNTIL THE TIME IS RIGHT THE DUNWICH HORROR WAITS AND FEEDS FEED! BREED! FEED THIS FUCKING BEAST DEVOTED TO THE WRATH OF YOG-SOTHOTH HUMANITY SHALL SUFFER ETERNALLY 1913, Lavinia Whateley gave birth to a son, named Wilbur A strange, deformed, goatish looking boy Old Man Whateley , grandfather of Wilbur Was known as a Wizard for his deep knowledge of The occult and supposed satanic practice. After WIlbur’s birth, Old Whateley bought more cattle But mysteriously the number never grew Cattle corpses found outside the Whateley’s farm Drained of blood and covered in puss filled sores Strange renovations were competed to the Whateley’s house Along with passers by complaining of A terrible smell emitting from within Candles lit Ritual begins To this cosmic Godhead Incense, salt and water Incantations to shake the dead “Hear me! King of Infinite Space Son of Chaos and The Void Lord of the Labyrinth Opener of the Way Yog-Sothoth knows the gate Yog-Sothoth is the gate Yog-Sothoth is the key and Guardian of the gate Yog-Sothoth knows the gate Yog-Sothoth is the gate Past, Present and Future All is one in Yog-Sothoth!” CURSED IS THIS TOWN VILE ENERGY SEEPS UP FROM THE GROUND A STRANGE FAMILY KNOWN FOR RITUALS PERFORMED IN A CIRCLE OF STONES THE HILLS WILL SHAKE WITH THE NAME, “YOG-SOTHOTH” AN OFFERING GROWN FOR THE OUTER GODS WAITS SILENTLY AND PATIENTLY BROODING IN THE DARK NEVER TO BE SEEN UNTIL THE TIME IS RIGHT THE DUNWICH HORROR WAITS AND FEEDS FEED! BREED! FEED THIS FUCKING BEAST DEVOTED TO THE WRATH OF YOG-SOTHOTH HUMANITY SHALL SUFFER ETERNALLY “By Chaos, By the Void, By the Light, By the Dark Open the gate By the Air, By the Fire, By the Water, By the Earth Open the Gate”
3.	Page 751 05:19	lyrics	buy track
Old Whateley on his deathbed in 1924 Whippoorwills gather in mass on the windows and the doors On his deathbed he tells Wilber to “Keep feeding it!” And to “Open the gate with page 751 of the Necronomicon!” Wilbur’s grown more violent, now shooting dogs with his .38 Revolver Lavinia became more frightened, disappearing into thin air… Only able to read latin, Wilbur had to find another copy of the book To open the gate to Yog-Sothoth, and the beyond… PAGE 751 IN THE NECRONOMICON THE OLD ONES WERE THE OLD ONES ARE AND THE OLD ONES SHALL BE MUST FIND THE BOOK BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY THE OLD ONES WERE THE OLD ONES ARE AND THE OLD ONES SHALL BE AGAIN! Traveling to libraries in search of his precious book Wilbur found a copy in Miskatonic University YES! FINALLY! The book is found To complete the ritual Yog-Sothoth shall rise Once more Enter Dr.Armitage, The librarian who found the book for Wilbur Concerned with the content of the pages Revealing dark satanic texts Denying him the book out of caution Armitage noticed how strange this man looked Clearly upset and holding back rage Wilbur calmly took his leave intending to return Wilbur enraged and planning his revenge If Armitage won't lend him the book then he’ll take it For himself no matter what he must do Times running out, must return to Dunwich very soon PAGE 751 IN THE NECRONOMICON THE OLD ONES WERE THE OLD ONES ARE AND THE OLD ONES SHALL BE MUST TAKE THE BOOK BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY THE OLD ONES WERE THE OLD ONES ARE AND THE OLD ONES SHALL BE AGAIN! Awoken by commotion, and an unearthly scream Dr. Armitage jumped up to investigate the scene Sounds of a gnashing guard dog fill the pitch black halls Of the library before the silence falls What he now witnessed he could not comprehend A guard dog standing over a being almost alien It is Wilbur upon the floor within a thick pool of ichor Grotesque wounds inflicted show Whateleys truest form… “Upper skin scaled like a reptiles, the rest covered in thick black fur From his abdomen grew a forest of greenish, grey, writhing tentacles Each hip housed a rudimentary eye and not a tail but a throat Protrudes from his lower back and his legs were hooved, malformed and crooked” Whippoorwills flooded in through the doors and the windows Signifying his death was near before his last breath His last words were ….. “YOG-SOTHOTH”
4.	Here Shall They Reign Again (Interlude) 03:07	lyrics	buy track
"Nor is it to be thought, that man is either the oldest or the last of earth's masters Or that the common bulk of life and substance walks alone Not in the spaces we know, but between them They walk serene and primal, undimensioned and to us unseen to us He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old And where They shall break through again He knows where They have trod earth's fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread They walk unseen and foul in lonely places where the Words have been spoken and the Rites howled through at their Seasons" I've seen it I've seen it with my very eyes I've seen it! I'VE SEEN IT! "They bend the forest and crush the city Yet may not forest or city behold the hand that smites Great Cthulhu is Their cousin, yet can he spy Them only dimly As a foulness shall ye know Them Their hand is at your throats, yet ye see Them not And their habitation is even one with your guarded threshold Man rules now where They ruled once; They shall soon rule where man rules now They wait patient and potent, for Here Shall They Reign Again"
5.	The Seed Of The Void 05:30	lyrics	buy track
After Wilbers death all his books Were confiscated by the University To be studied and translated To find his motive and solve this mystery 1928, The Whateley House Was destroyed by an Invisible monstrosity It has escaped! The Horror has escaped! Scouring the town at night Wrecking, ravaging, destruction Leaving strange tracks and a horrid stench The Horror’s trail leads to the circle of stones HORROR UNLEASHED OLD WHATELEYS SEED YOG-SOTHOTHS SPAWN ON EARTH NIGHTMARE BORN FOR THE LORD’S RETURN LEFT AND NEGLECTED FOR FAR TOO LONG THE DUNWICH HORROR BROKE FREE OF ITS BONDS Unable to translate the texts The University released them to Armitage Who found success within his deciphering But his mind slipped as the texts drove him mad … "Darkness brews within Dunwich I must investigate, and see what awaits me …" He called his men Madly explaining They had to leave Lets make a plan They leave in a week But their plans changed When the newspaper revealed Dunwich had been razed to the ground “DUNWICH! DESTROYED! HORROR!” Rushing out the door Gathering their gear The men make off for Dunwich To truly witness fear HORROR UNLEASHED OLD WHATELEYS SEED YOG-SOTHOTHS SPAWN ON EARTH NIGHTMARE BORN FOR THE LORD’S RETURN LEFT AND NEGLECTED FOR FAR TOO LONG THE DUNWICH HORROR BROKE FREE OF ITS BONDS Witnessing destruction As they arrived In decrepit Dunwich Disbelief filled their bloodshot eyes Out of the circle of stones Emerged the unseen, writhing mass They can see from the trail it leaves It is headed right for them Armitage had a plan indeed To reveal and banish this horrid being Loading white powder into a sprayer And making ready a banishing spell Watching from afar Some with telescopes The people of Dunwich went mad As the Horror met their eyes Dr. Armitage Stood upon the hill Waving his arms, chanting his spell To rid the world of this living hell HORROR UNLEASHED OLD WHATELEYS SEED YOG-SOTHOTHS SPAWN ON EARTH NIGHTMARE BORN FOR THE LORD’S RETURN LEFT AND NEGLECTED FOR FAR TOO LONG THE DUNWICH HORROR BROKE FREE OF ITS BONDS Spraying the Horror With white powder revealed its form Gigantic circular mass of eyes and tentacles And half a distorted face Armitage chanted louder The Horror began to scream “FATHER! HELP ME! YOG-SOTHOTH!" As lightning stuck the Horror and it vanished entirely …. “Now, join your brother Wilbur in the void!”
