Shades Of Shub-Niggurath

Lyrics for Shades Of Shub-Niggurath

The cornucopia of incarnation - Blindly, on and on it blunders Nurtured through disease and stagnation Then by decease is torn asunder No more than an eldritch godhead's toy Since first it squirmed from barren rock Under the eyes of the night The watching Mi-Go Spawned through gaseous ooze In a young protostar's sickly glow Spores took flight As ethereal clouds diffused Along filaments Connecting planet embryos The firmament Primed now for life's slow thunder Oblivious, the aeons pass The void has severed the baryon oases Where the spores amass To sentient primordial slime Deep inside, the fungi hide Nudging young procaryotes from their stasis A black molasse Patiently biding its time Shades of Shub-Niggurath Eating death Forever spurring life Shades of Shub-Niggurath Anatomy flowing free From rotting sludge A symphony of flesh shall rise From the debris of perished life forms Mycelium weaves a hive that storms unseen Devouring worlds Mother of all Arcane abyss that bears the gods And all that crawls, grows and dies Under the sun Till it comes undone For I am Thanatheros Slaves of Shub-Niggurath Feeding death forever And dreaming life Slaves of Shub-Niggurath Infinitely in reverie Of the womb that bore them They cannot see Cruelty - or mercy? Engraved on Charon's tortured crust The sigils that around the universe resound Ia! Shub-Niggurath! Ia! Shub-Niggurath! Praise the Source Ia! Shub-Niggurath! From Pluto's tholin wastes Atra! Shub-Niggurath! To Venus' blistering hells Ia! Shub-Niggurath! No life without you Atra! Shub-Niggurath! Outside the inane flash Of myriad birth chasing death My kingdom reigns supreme Dead, putrid eyes Fetid rotting limbs Discarded shells Bones and cells All absorbed Into my flesh hovering in the skies All returns To my ageless, timeless dream
