   E5 (reste)
Messenger of fear in sight
(1) <                          (2) x 2
Dark deception kills the light 

Hybrid children watch the sea 
Pray for Father, roaming free  (2) x 1 

  Fearless wretch, insanity 
  He watches, lurking beneath the sea 
  Great old one, forbidden site 
                                        A5 A♯5
  He searches, hunter of the shadows is ri sing

E5 (reste)  D5  x 2

Crawling chaos underground 
Cult has summoned twisted sound 

Out from ruins once possessed 
Fallen city, living death 

  Fearless Wretch, insanity 
  He watches, lurking beneath the sea 
  Timeless sleep, has been upset 
  He awakens, hunter of the shadows is ri sing

Not dead which eternal lie 
Stranger eons death may die 

Drain you of your sanity 
Face the thing that should not be
