Kotzabopoulos 8-string bass Lord of the Abyss Dwelling in the infernal domains Riding the winds of pain King of the realms of doom Hiding your wisdom from fool Wandering in parallel worlds Revealing your secrets to (the) bold Time and space are all one Supreme ruler, deathless one Sitting on your throne of horrors Bearer of the darkest light Feeling compassion for our sorrow Endless, greatest is your might Sing the psalms of the abyss As five angels perish in the sixth Scream the end of the god of death With the angels of the path of the left Reveal to us the ancient Of dark evolution we're looking for Inspirer of a new generation Symbol of alienation Prince of darkness I call thee Bestow thy power unto me Give me all of which I speak Make me immortal, set me free Honour to the Lord of the Abyss without Whose laughter this world should not be Honour to the Lord of the Abyss without Whose sign we ourselves should not be Lord of the Abyss I cry out thy name Lord of the Abyss give me thy strength Lord of the Abyss enlighten me Oh Satan, incarnate through me The Feast of Ghouls My reign beneath the graveyard my kingdom's underground disease of necrophagia child of Ancient Gods. My shape's a living fear my eyes reflecting horror my growl will make you creep. Chorus: Let's all gather under the moonlight prepare our feast this unholy night come my brothers follow my signs this is the feast of ghouls. I growl into your coffin licking my lips for flesh the highest of repulsions the sacrilege of death. I'm the cremator from ashes I've been born you're destined for my supper your corpse is my rebirth. I love to crunch your bones one by one ripping you to shreds suck the eyeballs of your socket feeling the taste. Your tender tongue is a special piece rotten in your mouth your entrails smell delightfully soon will be mine. Aemagia Veterium Worship me you mortal fools open my seal adore my name cause I'm the messanger of pain, the courier of hate, the beloved of the ancient ones. I came before their arrival from the astral plains of cosmic chaos bow your heads! Don't dare to face them! They'll make humanity bleed! They'll make Jesus weep... I dwell in the ancient R'lye dreaming in the blind depths of abyss my human servants enlightened by my dreams now heed my call. Now death is mortified, because it's alive what has been eternal lain! Alive is Cthulhu, the treatest of all! OPEN THE GATES I'm veiled in hideous smells that bring death to your mind my face is a blasphemy made by human entrails. I'm Humvava, the dark angel! OPEN THE GATES I'm the lord of Chaos my hatrted is blind, my wrath is insane. I scream on my throne from the center of the universe. I'm Azag- Thoth the Blind God! OPEN THE GATES I'm the all in one and one in all. I dwell in the heart of chaos and I'm lurking in the threshold of pain. I'm Yog-Sothoth the ultimate God! OPEN THE GATES Now the gates are opened. Time stood still as waiting for our arrival. The skies turned to black and the seas painted in red. We came here from cosmic chaos, our aim is one, our powers unamable. Devastate your villages, your cities and the lands! Humans will stop existing as a race and the earth will return to us...
