Al Azif Lyrics - The Call Of The Wood - Opera Ix

What can wait forever isn't dead 

and in the long run, even death dies. 

The Ancient were, the Ancient are, 

the Ancient will be. 

They walked in this world, 

after knowing the kingdom of stars, 

and the stars will pre-announce their coming. 

But bfore then the day of men will passed. 

They'll descend through the door, they'll break the seals 

and their claws will free 

themselves from the ancient vice, 

they'll find the way in the labyrinth of time 

'cause for Yog-Sothoth time is only one thing. 

So they'll go back and reign where they reigned once 

and their oaths will contaminate the earth. 

Oh, poor wretch you flatter yourself 

that you exploit their immense strength 

and their dirty power. Count the seasons 

observe the sun and the stars 

and when you have risen the stones 

and implored their power 

that will be the door through which 

you can call them out of time and space. 

So you will hear their terrible voices 

you will see ever-burning malign flames 

but you won't know the striking hand 

and the destroying soul 

'cause they come without a face 

and men don't know their forms. 

But be cautious in acting so that the tentacles of darkness 

can't pentrate your soul 

as the man who was too darling 

lost his vital force 

and chaos appeared to his mind.
