Darkness slides it's unhealthy hand Through the lost and forgotten realms And the few and unfortunate to walk this land Stumble blind through the watchful elms As their heartbeats rise and their courage dies The hope to see down grows dim From behind each rise spring a pair of eyes And the whole of the night looks grim Cult of the river god awaken now For the sound disturbs your sleep What is this unsettling silence here What emerges from the deep Creep forth black ma** of lizard things With your backs to the rising wind Black void howling enchanted things As the thunderclouds roll in The swamp starts spitting out profane delights With a shrill and a savage cry The rain picks up a most unholy song As lightning splits the sky Gotta find a mountain
Gotta find a cave Some inner sanctuary Some more peaceful place Gotta shake this evil off my tail Leave this world forever And cover up my trail Take it easy, take it easy Close your frightened eyes and give your mind a chance to fly Let the fire in your belly out into the sky Sit with the gnomes at the end of the rainbow In the trees where the green goblins hang low And the leprechauns sit on their pot o'gold And the children of the eldritch never grow old Waiting for the daylight Standing at the break of dawn Standing in the twilight a fait longtemps, a fait longtemps que j'l'attends yeah (2x) Effoir l'ombre en attendant Que tout recommence calmement Patient children, patient children Waiting for the night to end
