Lyrics
He sleeps under black seas waiting
Lies dreaming in death
He sleeps under cosmos shaking
Stars granting his breath
He wakes as the world dies screaming
All horrors arrive
He wakes giving earth its bleeding
Pure madness alive
And He haunts you
And He binds your soul
And He loathes you
And reclaims it all
You turn to stone
Can’t look away
You turn to stone
Madness, they say
Cthulhu, awaken
He sways in abyss returning
Inhaling black skies
He shakes with a torture burning
All lost in his eyes
And He haunts you
And He binds your soul
And He loathes you
And reclaims it all
You turn to stone
Can’t look away
You turn to stone
Madness, they say
Cthulhu, awaken
You turn to stone
Can’t look away
You turn to stone
Madness, they say
Sanity taken
Seething damnation
Cthulhu, awaken
(Wake) Winged salvation
Death by creation
Cthulhu, awaken
(Wake) Dreaming no more
Cthulhu, awaken
(Wake) Dreaming no more
Cthulhu, awaken
(Wake) Dreaming no more
