I woke from a dream to a camp full of screams And sounds so obscene, what was out there? By the light of the moon the door of his tomb I saw was removed, d**h everywhere On this black starry night this monster will feast Some kind of god, some kind of beast Old as the stars, master of men It's the beginning and it is the end Stare in the eye of the Beholder Sanity's lost, there's no escape Burning your mind, it starts to smolder You have been caught, your mind has been raped Stare into the eye of the Beholder Fast as a snake no way to escape such a horrible fate A river of blood stained the sands Again and again both camels and men Were slaughtered right then, they had no chance Beyond belief hard to describe, tentacles twisting up to the sky Huge as a house skin slimy and black, eight horrible eyes staring straight back Chorus Fifteen of us left standing alive, paralyzed as it spoke to our minds A rush of its thoughts invaded my head, a lesser mind would have gone mad "I have awakened, you are now mine" There was no other choice to be had It would mandate we shared its fate to repopulate the world with it It went back inside take me for a ride, of course we'd abide on to England Repeat Prechorus Chorus
