lyrics

(The time has come. Sufficient dark energies have been harvested from the horrors and miseries of the universe. The offering must be made. We have our gifts to Him. We have His location. Soon, we will receive His boon.)

In the dark, a pestilence
It follows me through time and space
At the edge, a violence
A grateful wretch, praying now for Him

I see the fear at outer dark, I see it well
I know the fear at outer dark, it is my hell
He judges me but He does not care, it is His way
As I look at the face of my God, it is my world

In system, alarms sound
He's coming closer now, to his prey
Still we hunt, a pilgrimage, to know His grace
Our sacrifice to the old ones

I see the fear at outer dark, I see it well
I know the fear at outer dark, it is my hell
He judges me but He does not care, it is His way
As I look at the face of my God, it is my world now

Are you ready to meet your God?
Are you ready to lose your mind?
He comes

(A radio transmission is received from many lightyears away. Mostly indecipherable, some fragments of communication are recovered.)

Gunner: 'Contact at 500k'
Arch Kakoph: 'Go to stealth mode, follow it'
Gunner: 'Closing'
Arch Kakoph: 'Move to parallel space'
Engineer: 'Yes, Kakoph'
...
Engineer: 'It's returning to real space...It knows we're here'
...
Arch Kakoph: 'Why is it still on us?'
Engineer: 'It's pursuing!'
Arch Kakoph: 'Hard to port!'
...
Arch Kakoph: 'Fire all cannons! Torpedoes, full spread!'
Gunner: 'Impact negatory. Proximity alert!'
Arch Kakoph: 'Run!'
...
Engineer: 'It's gaining, it's so fast!'
Arch Kakoph: 'Conduct emergency time shift. Divert all power!'
...
Engineer: 'It's crawling in my mind...The angles...The angles!'
Gunner: 'Hull breach imminent!'
Engineer: 'It's everywhere!'
Arch Kakoph: 'No...It's everywhen!'

We see the fear at outer dark, we see it well
We know the fear at outer dark, it is our hell
He judges us but He does not care, it is His way
As I feel His name on my lips it calls to me...
The name of Cthulhu!

Spectral Darkwave UK

Fusing the intimidating splendour of symphonic death metal and the sombre majesty of doom, adding a touch of black metal’s bleak fire and an infusion of industrial terror, then entwining the resulting weapon of war in silver threads of horror and adventure, myth, story and magic – SPECTRAL DARKWAVE are a band like no other. ... more
