In the fading glow of the final twilight I sense the coming of undying evil For aeons brooding in timeless silence Soon the radiant darkness will hatch Awaiting the ultimate night to arrive Mankind is fettered and held, in cold suspense Gathering shadows of the holocaust He has entered into the realm of the living I am the vessel, I am the sentinel I know the prophecy must be fulfilled Usurpers of the throne Descending from the stars From beyond the gate of Yog-Sothoth Messenger of death proclaims their arrival Reciting the words from the book of Azathoth The rapture will come without salvation The abolishment of physical laws I sense the presence of unworldly forces A phosphorus horror eating the land Seething nuclear chaos, boiling sea of death Ascend ancient city from beneath the waves I am the key, he is the gate A mystical voyage has only begun The future is grim, shrouded in death The world that we know - fruitless and bleak One thousand masks obscuring his face Swept by the black wind into the abyss I am the vessel, I am the sentinel I know the prophecy must be fulfilled I am the key, he is the gate
