Haunter Of The Dark Lyrics - Infinite Spectrum

Discovery of the darkest kind 

Outside our world of space and time 

Down the rabbit hole I go 

Things human minds should never know 

Eyes now wide open 

to see things unseen 

Hide in the shadows 

Try not to scream 

Reference to a monster 

The Haunter of the Dark 

Gaze in shining crystal 

summons creature forth 

The creature holds all knowledge 

demands blood sacrifice 

From black gulf of chaos 

the crystal stone invites 

Eyes now wide open 

Dark things of dream 

No place to hide 

from this evil fiend 

Summoned, I called it 

by a twist of fate 

There in the church 

for me it lies in wait 

It lives among the shadows 

In the dark of night 

The Haunter seeks its refuge 

from the rays of light 

I fear the evening twilight, 

the sky awash in black 

The Haunter stalks me like its prey, 

ready to attack 

From my attic window 

in fear I count the hours, 

I watch the orange sun set 

on the church's spire 

The street lights ablaze 

around my building guard 

May they give protection 

from unholy fire 

The Shining Trapezohedron, 

a crystal window on all time and space 

Created on dark Yuggoth 

long before the Old Ones came 

Brought to earth many aeons ago 

Passed through the centuries 

from tribe to tribe 

Serpent men of Valusia 

to the humans of Lemuria 

Crossing strange lands and stranger seas 

The Shining Trapezohedron, 

a crystal window on all time and space 

Created on dark Yuggoth 

long before the Old Ones came 

Lost with Atlantis, 

then retrieved from the sea 

Possessed by a Pharaoh, this evil seed 

Asleep in the ruins, 

its temple confined 

then dug from the sand to again curse mankind 

I read it in the papers, 

fear grows on Federal Hill 

The local superstitions 

intensify in build 

Rumor, ghostly sounds 

from the church unseen 

Banish the spirits 

that haunt townfolk's dreams 

They say something watches 

at entry of church 

It waits for night's cover 

to venture forth 

It lives among the shadows 

In the dark of night 

The Haunter seeks its refuge 

from the rays of light 

I fear the evening twilight, 

the sky awash in black 

The Haunter stalks me like its prey, 

ready to attack 

From my attic window, 

in fear I count the hours 

I watch the orange sun set 

on the church's spire 

The street lights ablaze 

around my building guard 

May they give protection 

from unholy fire 

I feel remorse 

My actions set this thing free 

Must capture the crystal 

and hide, where no man can see 

Can I find the courage 

to banish the beast? 

A morbid longing, 

to the crystal stone's deceit
