Rise! O King, of cosmic dread! From the depths Your Voice be heard! Breathe Your Fears into our hearts Doom befalls - Eternal Night
Eyes ablaze, like molten lead Gaze afire with living death
Far beneath the darkest deep Dream no more, Thy dreamless sleep!
Star-spawned One, assume thine seat Dawn of sheer insanity Eldritch Lord upon His throne Wrought of stardust, fear and bones!
Grotesque form Loathsome Worm - Rise! Great Ancient One!
Obsidian Crown Upon its head Cosmic rule Of Living Dead
Awakened from slumber Through unmeasurable Void Obscene, Undead Majesty Dagon lays claim of His Crown!

Psychlopean Dread
06:29
|

Writhing, unrelenting, cthonic slime Boiling up from the fathomless deep Tearing, ripping shreds of sanity Voracious darkness swallows me (whole)
A looming terror engulfing my senses
A cosmic horror which I cannot avoid Fear beyond reason suffocates, (blinding) Saturates, consuming my soul
Tentacled talons scratching the surface Submerged for aeons now rises above Cthulhu awakens from eternal slumber To harvest chaos, dread and despair

Spirit Taker
05:37
|
|||
Distant echoes of a surreal and distant past Cerebral leech, vampiric cosmic wretch Erased existence, just fragments filled with fright Cold dead eyes extinguish all the light
Senseless struggle, a prison of the mind Psychic bars, locked outside of time Reason fails as madness takes control Adrift in space, a body with no soul
Spirit Taker - shell of former self Spirit Taker - trapped in mental Hell Spirit Taker - otherwordly spells Spirit Taker - an existential Hell

The Seams of Pangaea

Part I: Caravela
Steeped in ignorant zealotry We sail into oblivion
Westwards lies our fortune
Eastwards nought but doom Southwards lie our playgrounds Northwards icecaps loom
Desperation, you shall navigate And Greed shall be our wind
Westwards lies our fortune Eastwards nought but doom Southwards lie our playgrounds Northwards icecaps loom
And so shall we reknit the Seams of Pangaea!
Behold! The tide has shifted And thus we all shall drown...
Westwards lies our fortune Eastwards nought but doom Southwards lie our playgrounds Northwards icecaps loom
And so shall we reknit the Seams of Pangaea!
Part II: Mind The Gap
(Instrumental)
Part III: Pangaea (reprise)
Eastwards lies our doom (4x)
Hark! We bring glad tidings Salvation, wrapped in Plague

I. 55°98'33"S - 67°26'67"W (Instrumental)
II. Smoke and Oakum
Behind us the infinite void of the deep blue Below us are fathoms of deadly abyss Before us the promise of death and of glory Be swift or be damned, but steadfast we remain Swift or be damned, but steadfast we remain
Tempestuous torrents turns oak into splinter
Turns hopes into ashes, if we don't hold fast This bowsprit our rapier, the canvas our armor The Elements our foemen to which we shan't yield. These are the foemen to which we shan't yield!
III. Hearts of Oak
Hearts of Oak Shrapnel and Smoke (4x)
IV. Valediction
Farewell to mothers, sweethearts and wives Rán, that cruel mistress, has claimed our lives

Behold! The Monolith Los Angeles, California
New album, From the Fathomless Deep out July 15 on Ripple Music.
"The BEHOLD! THE
MONOLITH of 2022 is not the same band we knew all those years ago: grizzlier, rougher-hewn and more technically visceral than they’ve ever been. A welcome reward for their decade-old following, and a ear-splitting surprise for those unbaptized."
