Into the Light Pt. III by Noneuclid Lyrics
"Most demoniacal of all shocks
Is that of the abysmally unexpected
And grotesquely unbelievable"
- H.P. Lovecraft
As I stand, abandoned and dazed
Trembling in fear of what might be lurking
I sense a presence - something moves in the room next door
I step through the arch, the nightmare draws nearer
Crawling towards me, can't look away
And then, with the first and last sound ever to escape my throat
-I behold
Inconceivable, indescribable, unmentionable monstrosity
Unclean, unwelcome, abnormal, detestable
Putrid, dripping eidolon of unwholesome revelation
Not of this world - or no longer -
That which the merciful Earth should always hide
Leering, abhorrent travesty on the human shape
Paralysed, can't break the spell in which the monster holds me
As it stumbles upon me, my feeble arm cannot protect me
Cataclysm, in the blink of an eye
Revulsion wrecks my mortal remains
For under the golden arch
In this most horrid of moments
My fingers, raised in repulsion
Touch the blasphemy's outstretched paw
And in a single avalanche
Of soul annihilation
My memories resurge
And I know all that has been
I flee from the hell
Delirious, yet awake
Cannot return to the grave
That had swallowed my flesh
Now I ride with the ghouls
Mocking and free on the night-wind
Play in the tombs of Nephren-Ka by the Nile
Relinquish the light
Welcome the bitterness of alienage
As I embrace what I've become, have always been
For what I touched
When I stretched out my fingers
There, in that spiteful hell
Was the cold, unyielding surface of polished glass
Is that of the abysmally unexpected
And grotesquely unbelievable"
- H.P. Lovecraft
As I stand, abandoned and dazed
Trembling in fear of what might be lurking
I sense a presence - something moves in the room next door
I step through the arch, the nightmare draws nearer
Crawling towards me, can't look away
And then, with the first and last sound ever to escape my throat
-I behold
Inconceivable, indescribable, unmentionable monstrosity
Unclean, unwelcome, abnormal, detestable
Putrid, dripping eidolon of unwholesome revelation
Not of this world - or no longer -
That which the merciful Earth should always hide
Leering, abhorrent travesty on the human shape
Paralysed, can't break the spell in which the monster holds me
As it stumbles upon me, my feeble arm cannot protect me
Cataclysm, in the blink of an eye
Revulsion wrecks my mortal remains
For under the golden arch
In this most horrid of moments

Touch the blasphemy's outstretched paw
And in a single avalanche
Of soul annihilation

And I know all that has been

As I embrace what I've become, have always been
