Kthulu Rises

Verse 1

Pale moon

Sliding through the silt

Old gods waking in the salt of the sea

Iron chains

Rusty and jagged

Cold water choking the lungs of the world

Deep down

Buried beneath the heavy floor

Something hungry moves in the muck

I see the shape

I feel the pull

The water is blacker than oil

Chorus

He calls from the trench

He calls from the floor

Kthulu rises

Kthulu rises

The stars are right

The end is tight

Kthulu rises

Kthulu rises

Post-Chorus

Rising up

Rising up

Ripping through the waves

Rising up

Verse 2

Stone walls

Slick with the ancient slime

Towers that tilt at an angle of death

Madness drips

Drips from the ceiling

Drips from the mind of a man on the edge

Lost souls

Sinking like lead

Sinking like stones in a well

No hope

No air

Nothing but the crushing weight

Green scales scraping the hull of the ship

Chorus

He calls from the trench

He calls from the floor

Kthulu rises

Kthulu rises

The stars are right

The end is tight

Kthulu rises

Kthulu rises

Bridge

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh

Cthulhu R'lyeh

Wgah'nagl fhtagn

I can hear the chant

I can hear the screams

I can hear the end

Dead but dreaming

Dead but breathing

Dead but reaching for the sun

Guitar Solo

Chorus

He calls from the trench

He calls from the floor

Kthulu rises

Kthulu rises

The stars are right

The end is tight

Kthulu rises

Kthulu rises

Outro

The Great Old One

He is here

He is now

He is all

Watch the water boil

Watch the ocean turn to blood

Kthulu rises

Kthulu rises

The call

The call

The call is answered
