The Samhain began and the moon was red
The dead took over the living
The skies were hung in misty dread
And sick wolves were wrathfully crying.
"I do not know this path o' yours"
My spirit companion told me
"'tis fire that may turn you into a corpse,
The fire that dwells in these watery graves".
Samhain!
Samhain!
Ethreal master drain my souls
In th' icy chambers o' woe
Thy sickening tears shall reverse death
No more bleeding angels shall cross my path!
We invoked the mighty Cthulu
From fire and mist and darkness
And once his shadow touched the earth
A darkened new era had risen.
Sha'arimrath! Sha'arimrath!
Sha'arimrath! Sha'arimrath!
Sha'arimrath! Sha'arimrath!
The mighty Shahul has risen
Sha'arimrath! Sha'arimrath!
The demons will now walk the earth
The living old sorrows will walk through the dark
Let Kerberos run by our side
Let Acheron flood homes above it
We will become eternal dark light.
