The Beast of Babylon
The ancient road leads me onward To the ruins of the great Babylon Terror lives where once kings reveled in splendor In the darkness hides the unholy thing With leather wings and screaming seven human heads The night sky plagued by the spawn of Shub-Nigurrath! The eater of the flesh and souls, forever cursed by men The fear you bring can blind the weak, unknowing of your secret! The Elder Sign protects me; the wrath of stars is in my hand The monster's anger kept at bay, its evil weak against my wisdom Come forth Balaka, the ancient wizard, let your mouth speak Of untold secrets and hidden places beyond the space and time Upon the monster's back I must fly away To distant mountains beyond this world The Umal root, that brings the life Your healing power I now gather To raise the body from the death itself Restore the mind from deepest madness! Great secrets are revealed to those Who cast away the fear Who dare to seek old Babylon And face its beast in darkness!
