The Shadow Over Innsmouth

An infamous smell of fish Try to divert my head from the shore But being here was my wish In this dilapidated harbor I see it at the horizon Like in my nightmare A gigantic black swan The devil reef, fascination and fear I remember what my ancestors wrote About his dreams And this infernal quote Recited in Zadok's screams I have to know What happened to him This is the time now To enter the grim ruins, grim! I penetrated onto darkness Visions of chaos, visions of death Churches to ashes, demented cult, only signs of sickness Strange sculptures still stand Ungodly forms in front of me The remains of a cult which was banned The cult of Dagon, lord of the sea The Shadow over Innsmouth! Everything around me feels like madness I plunge my hands into stinking debris Fighting my infinite sadness Because I know my ancient life is behind me My ancient life is behind me! My ancient life is behind me! My ancient life is behind me! Behind me!
