The Elder Race by Dream Death Lyrics

Look through the mystic door
At the hidden depths which all men share
Long and hard was the war
When man usurped the Earth

Last to fall, the serpent men
Driven into the wastes and left to die
They returned as priests
Of their evil cult in human guise

Back to the palace
Puts his trust in a man he does not know
He can't believe the things that he is shown
His very chambers, underlined with hidden halls
Has no idea what this night will befall

From the wars of old
Etched on all men's souls
Eldritch words only man can speak
Mystic runes, they must keep alive
Into bed, and feign deep sleep
Tú, the counselor, knife bared, creeps
Traitor slayed, his face doth change
There leers in its stead a vile serpent's head

Can't you see they're coming back
To rule the world again
Plot revenge through their evil cult
The serpent men

He looks out and wonders
Which are men and which are not
He speaks the eldritch words
Which he was taught
They rush the dais
Victory finds defeat
Burst through the throne room
Someone in his seat

Blades unsheathed, totem's face
Which will win, tiger or snake?
Fight ensues, traitor slayed
To purge the Earth, the promise is made
The elder race
