"Necrophagious Shadows" lyrics

"Necrophagious Shadows"

Whispers in the dark held me
Tight in chains of horror
Petrified I sat in the unknown
Cemetery amidst the tombs

Disembodied voiced called me
Inhuman eyes watched me
Cadaver fumes struck my nose
And in terror I turned around...

I - watched
Amorphous, necrophagious shadows
Dance - beneath
The cursed waning moon

Hands of demoniac dexterity
Swayed through the vague abyss
Struggling in the dark mist
To regain full control

I uncovered the soil
And found a dismembered body
Where the flesh partly
Putrid and partly carbonized...

I - watched
Amorphous, necrophagious shadows
Dance - beneath
The cursed waning moon

Dark winds chilled me
Evil lurked in the dark
Breezes from hell
I could hear all the hellish

Chants and vast
Windborne voices echoes
"Rise in for the master
And the sign of the pentagram..."

I - watched
Amorphous, necrophagious shadows
Dance - beneath
The cursed waning moon
I - saw
Amorphous, necrophagious shadows
Move - beneath
The cursed evil moon
