05. Shub-Niggurath (Music Video)
By Unlife · Metal · From the album The Ancient Ones
Black horns in the fog
Bleating beneath the moon
Black goat of the woods
A thousand young within the fold
She stirs beneath the hills
Where the moonlight turns to mold
The mist curls like her fingers
Through the pines that weep and lean
Her breath is the fog on the fen
Her shadow swallows what has been
Call her name
Call her name
The forest drinks the falling rain
Shub-Niggurath
Mother of all that writhes
Shub-Niggurath
The blackness in the soil
Shub-Niggurath
Her teeming endless tide
Shub-Niggurath
She comes to claim the void
She is the fecund void
She is the rot and bloom
She is the scream before the name
She is the tomb and the womb
The altar stones are sweating
The candles gutter low
Her offspring crawl the ceiling
In patterns none can know
I carved her sigil in my chest
With a shard of broken bone
She whispered through the static
You are never quite alone
Call her name
Call her name
The forest drinks the falling rain
Shub-Niggurath
Mother of all that writhes
Shub-Niggurath
The blackness in the soil
Shub-Niggurath
Her teeming endless tide
Shub-Niggurath
She comes to claim the void
The dawn will never reach this hollow
The sun is just a rumor now
I hear her mating in the thunder
I see her face on every bough
The priests who came before me
They left their teeth in stone
I am the last to whisper
And I whisper all alone
Call her name
Call her name
The forest drinks the falling rain
Shub-Niggurath
Mother of all that writhes
Shub-Niggurath
The blackness in the soil
Shub-Niggurath
Her teeming endless tide
Shub-Niggurath
She comes to claim the void
