Drowning The Light
			Cursed Below the Waves

1. From the Ocean... the Ancients Return

Casting stones that ripple the water
as they sink the runes etched on them shimmer
Below the ocean depths, the ancients do sleep
Carried with the tides, an old curse of the deep
A spell to awaken the sleeping giants, lurking below
But no magick can control such gods... Of the abyss
In the abyss!
Below the ocean depths, the ancients do wake
Carried with the tides, an old curse our fate
Hear the roaring waves, no one can be saved
The oceans erupts in a tidal rage, they return!
Like the stripes on a nautilus, hiding the danger within
Majestic, beautiful and revered
Below the ocean depths, the ancients are here
Carried with the tides, they rule us with fear
Hear the roaring waves, the ocean our grave
Crowned in coral and many eyed, tentacles that beguile
Wiping out our history, in effortless motion
A new evolution of man starts here!
A reborn race with salt in our veins
Primal predatory instincts drive us
No longer shackled to the shores of lies
We are now truly part of the abyss


2. Beak on Bone & the Red Mantle of the King (Architeuthis Dux)

Dragged in, torn down, hooks into skin
Gasping, struggling, no way to win
Beak on bone the devouring begins
The red mantle of this king
Through the surface of the water
The moon reflects a castle keep
A fire burning till the morning
Never to see the sun again
To miss the warmth of dry land
To never taste oxygen again
Dragged in, torn down, hooks into skin
Gasping, struggling no way to win
Beak on bone the devouring begins
The red mantle of this king
Architeuthis heard the splashing
From its darkened resting place
A cold ocean under moonlight
A tentacled embrace
Architeuthis Dux
The red mantle of the king
Once thought a mythical beast
Now the truth I sing!


3. Phantasms of a Frozen Dream

Caught in the yoke of a frozen dream
A vision of a medieval phantasm stands over me
Moving with the shadows, as a shadow
What it wants I do not know
But I welcome its presence
A hand of dusty smoke breathes out
and gestures me to follow
My mortal form paralyzed
but my spirit floats
So I follow this spectre through a singularity point
Time does not exist anymore
Is this a dream?
Or was I always dreaming?
My eyes open to a new world

The secrets of grand alchemy
and bending nature revealed
Godhead realized when you truly wake up
and see that this life is not quite real
The dark is the light and the day is night
and the laws of nature reversed
Godhead realized when you truly wake up
and see that this life is rehearsed


4. Crashing Against the Shores of Oblivion

A sunken city, A golden empire
A fallen kingdom, A ruined nation
Lost!
Crashing against the shores of oblivion
But a wisp in the memories of ancient philosophers, tell this sunken cities tale
Atlantean knowledge forever gone
Rising waters took it all
Crashing against the shores of oblivion


5. This Night He Will Drink the World

A crypt deep within an eroded cave, the roots of trees above entangling it
Cradling the coffin and the undead corpse within, but the moon calls once a century
The coffin lid opens and the bat faced fiends fangs extend
Now taking flight, a helpless victims life he will end
Seeing the burning pulse below, a heart soon to be as cold as stone
Swooping down and embracing her
Fangs penetrate the anterior jugular vein
The sweet wine of mortality fills his maw
As she slumps down, his fangs retract
Tongue still lashing his lips
for every last drop
He cannot stop there
This night he will drink the world!


6. Cursed Below the Waves

Cursed below the waves, within the krakens hall
Not bound like mortal slaves, who only know how to crawl

Deep down here amongst the reef and bone
An oceanic spirit on a sunken throne
A trident held by a chosen vessel
Possessed by Leviathan
Below the waves sifting through the sand
That chosen vessel of an ancient clan
Before splitting with the aether beings
Bringing aquatic tyranny

A curse thrust into the current
Infused in every grain below
Malevolent and growing
Cantankerous whispers at the lowest frequency
Commanding legions below
Unbeknownst to those above...
The storm is here...
and with it this curse!

Cursed below the waves, within the krakens hall
Not bound like mortal slaves, who only know how to crawl


7. Sailing Through Forgotten Seas to a New World
