08. Zoth-Ommog
By Unlife · Alternative Metal · From the album No Life Matters
Cold cathedral of the deep
Towers sinking in my sleep
Zoth-Ommog calls my name
From the burning under-caves
Tentacles of coral bone
Dragging me back to the throne
I hear it breathing through the tide
I feel it curling up inside
Zoth-Ommog
The deep one waits
Zoth-Ommog rise
From the blackened sea
Zoth-Ommog rise
Come take all of me
Zoth-Ommog rise
The drowned one waits below
I give my bones
I give my bones to you alone
I carved your name in the crumbling wall
Now the water answers when I call
Fathoms falling like a fever dream
Bioluminescent and obscene
Tentacled fingers in the murk of night
Pull me down where there is no light
Whalebone altar slick with rain
Old blood singing in my veins
Priests in robes of living skin
Chanting where the dark begins
I walked the ledge I kissed the foam
Now the deep sea calls me home
I hear it breathing through the tide
I feel it curling up inside
Zoth-Ommog
The deep one waits
Zoth-Ommog rise
From the blackened sea
Zoth-Ommog rise
Come take all of me
Zoth-Ommog rise
The drowned one waits below
I give my bones
I give my bones to you alone
Behold the spiral in the deep
Behold the temple that we keep
My hands become his hands
My breaths become the sand
Down down down
Where the echoes never sound
Mother of the nameless deep
Sing to me while I still sleep
Cradle me in brackish black
Never send my spirit back
Tentacles and teeth and time
Everything I was unwinds
Zoth-Ommog I hear your hymn
I am sinking I am him
I hear it breathing through the tide
I feel it curling up inside
Zoth-Ommog
The deep one waits
Zoth-Ommog rise
From the blackened sea
Zoth-Ommog rise
Come take all of me
Zoth-Ommog rise
The drowned one waits below
I give my bones
I give my bones to you alone
