lyrics

Tired of a life of ever-gray,
Weary of the daily taste of clay,
Late at night I shiver in my bed,
A call from beyond resonates

An old silver key leads the way,
I’ll lose myself in the dark
And leave my name behind.
Anxious to lay down the weight ;
We’re all but transient shapes

Soon after I’ve buried sense
I may rise and forsake my home
In a quest for the unknown
Towers of wondrous blue
Spires of frightening hue
I know my dream city’s waiting for me

CHORUS
Hei! Aa-shanta 'nygh!
Enter through the gate of deeper slumber
Hei! Aa-shanta 'nygh!
Your heart vacillates, impending danger
Hei! Aa-shanta 'nygh!
Will you dare to face the nameless horror?
Hei! Aa-shanta 'nygh!
Fly on the wings of aether’s winds

I sailed over red twilight seas
From gaunt mountains and gloom
To the dark side of the moon
Night’s rushing in my veins
Wars and warnings in vain
To find the gods, I may die but I’ll reign

CHORUS

(The) Crawling chaos’s haunting my mind
Malicious night
Labyrinths and ruins where I’m blind
Kadath draws near
(The) Crawling chaos’s haunting my mind
Wings and shapes on luminous clouds
Labyrinths and ruins where I’m blind
Song of the spheres
(The) Crawling chaos’s haunting my mind
I fall like a star from the sky
All my wishes tore me apart
