about
Have you heard them speak their forgotten tongues?
the whispers from the unknown? If you could hear them, what would they say?
lyrics
the Old Ones, from before
speak a tongue, no longer known
The New Gods took it,
so their hearths, they could grow
Echoing in the aethyr
countless tales, lost to the unknown
Our libraries filled,
the pyres of their dead God
But Now the time has come,
In the silence, they only whisper to some
If you listen you can hear them,
As the mind removes the veil
and their screaming whispers
become the voice in side
When the lights in the sky,
align with the stones on the earth,
in the land of forgotten tongues
Though the warriors have gone
the war still rages on
in the souls of those that lived
through the terror
a conflict that echoes endlessly
reinforcing the torment of the species
Battles waged between those that would take
and from who it is taken!
so grind the wheels of time,
it matters not if we live or die
in the lands
of forgotten
tongues
Measures of men, they come and go,
time counts lines in mortal's souls
men the fields they cleared
in the land of forgotten tongues
The new gods that came,
they too had been conquered
driven from the strangelands
never to find what they'd lost
for their ancestors also dwell
in the lands cut off from our world
by the dead god's destruction
In the land of forgotten tongues!
Look now to the hoarders of wealth
Societal tumor erupting
you will see the oxen that
drive this calamity forward
barbarians pickled in their finery
lance the boil, sacrifice the bull
let the blood come pouring forth
in the land of forgotten tongues
Now we all grope for what's been lost
as their world eclipses ours
turning the day to night
in the land of of forgotten tongues
When the lights in the sky,
return to their stones on the earth
In the land of forgotten Tongues
The old ones that will come
are the lights in the sky
they will return to the earth
to destroy the dead god's of man
raining their cleansing fire
just as it was written
in the tomes long forgotten
and burned by THEM
Do you hear them coming?
If you did, would you join them or flee?
The ones that are coming, speak a tongue
you will soon come to know
their many colored faces, painted
the way the old ones did
open the doors to the strangelands
just as the whispers commanded
now the tendrils of the past
will destroy or open your mind
in the land of forgotten tongues
