The Plague of the Pallid Mask music/lyrics: D Boyd Upon the dark shores of the dreaded lake The denizens of the Nameless City have just sealed thier fate No more earthly worries Oh NO! Not for them "What did you still think to be human after betraying me?" The King in Yellow's Decree The Plague...The Plague...The Plague of the Pallid Mask "Never shall you remove these masks you've placed upon you By this mark you shall be known... THE DECEIVERS OF THE KING IN YELLOW" But some did not believe, and refused this cross to bear And one by one thier masks fell down to the ground... And Now... The Plague...The Plague...The Plague of the Pallid Mask Behold, as thier skin begins to rip Something new coming through Human flesh lies tattered and limp What remains, standing there in thier place My God, mere words cannot say A Horror my mind cannot convey! In the most exquisite pain forever they will remain No shadow of what they used to be Just a Shambling Insanity Noxious appendages reaching down as they pick thier former faces from the ground A new mask to wear This sign they'll always bear The King in Yellow's Decree The Plague...The Plague...The Plague of the Pallid Mask

A young man makes a journey Into the depths of unkown realms Down ageless stairs he'll go Into the bowels of the ground There he'll pass the gate Where ten thousand more steps await The steps shall lead the way The path he takes goes... Into the Danks Abyss Drowning in the darkness In the gloom from beyond time Something is breeding in this blasphemous shrine Somewhere in the shadows hidden Unholy abominations But further doors await, make haste...deeper... Into the Danks Abyss Confused carvings, Angles wrong Glowing icor on the walls Nothing makes sense, still descending Never ending, Twisted halls Time will cease to be, all things will change, No more reality The abyss will open wide and vomit forth the unseen Never to return, No escape From the pit, this is it... Into the Dank Abyss

As I descend into the dark I can hear the evil Wyrm calling me from below Deep in the pit, writhing serpent of the ancient race, the Maskim with no face I see the lier in wait, ready to seal my fate But I move on, further down another hall Lead by the sound of singing in this underground temple Inverted Babel, Kingdom of the Damned Gate to the forbidden lands But I'm falling into the chamber of Silence... As the cold floor meets my back The sirens of Eternal Black begin to surround me Singing so loudley As I begin to cover my bleeding ears The songs of forgotten years are now bringing me to tears Unlocking my fears I must get up to escape I must get up...I MUST GET UP I must get up despite the pain to run....Again! Will I ever see the light of day again Roaming through the catacombs I think I'm nearing the end... But NO!!! More moving shadows reaching for my soul They will never let me go But I am still standing here...all alone Voices from behind say..."time to go" So I run again!

THE INITIATE MUSIC AND LYRICS BY : D BOYD Candles burning low as the initiate stands alone Calling out names of old, to ancient gods he doesnt know before the threshold to another world of the unknown Great blasphemer believes he holds the key He cannot see the truth Too blinded by youth He opens the blackened book Removes the nail and hook Spills his blood upon the floor to constitute the ritual In the dark he stands alone And to the beast he speaks... Come to me...Idimmu Come to me, I know that you are there Dancing round, the circle on the ground drawn in blood Dark souls whisper in his ear Come with us, there is no fear And as he signs the book in blood he dies The light leaves his body, a blackened shell remains He falls to his knees, he feels the dark energy Pulsating in his veins, the blood of the wicked remains "I am reborn...I am the blood" The blind one, he cannot see He doesnt know what he has done He has lost it all His good is gone In the darkness he found life And it cost him the light

WINDWALKER music and lyrics: D.Boyd Windwalker...Windwalker Upon the icy winds of Hyperborea Amid endless gulfs of stygian seas... The Ancient God he walks there... Upon the voids ether breath Ia! Ia! Ithaqua! Atop his icy temple, gazing into the stars Waiting for the time that mankind is abandoned by God Eternally bound but yet he's free to roam the icy plains at will: trapped within the cold Oh...Wendigo Dont look to the sky Cast your gaze away from his star-like carmine eyes, a glance will seal your fate Oh...the ancients will unite And the stars will align And from...from sunken Rlyeh Cthulhu will rise! Windwalker...Windwalker...Windwalker Ia! Ia! Ithaqua!!

Loss The pain it calls me home Shattered memories haunt me Above Falling ashes from the sky Like a hellish snow of the damned In my dreams I've seen this place Desolate town where horrors await I roam through the fog shrouded streets on my own Something draws me Alone with the torment that's inside my soul As the hills stood silent The darkness comes The world becomes undone A reality in decay Rusted monoliths of what was Below Fires burning endlessly Living nightmares coalesce In my dreams I can't leave this place Forever bound to the horrors that wait I run through the labyrinths of hell on my own I'm no longer alone With the demons who've come for my soul And the hills were silent I stare across the abyss I gaze into myself
