The Things That Were and Shall Be Again Lyrics


[Unnameable things have come to us in

alien horror and will come again. And the

evil of the stars is not as the evil of earth."

	- Clark Ashton Smith]

Disturbed from their ancient slumber

Awakened from their black embrace

Cursed to walk among us once more

To possess the souls of the living

From the book they're summoned

The passages recited out loud

Corruption of flesh is their mission

As essence devoured unbound

By command of the eater of spirits

Into this world by transference

Respawned to complete their goals

By command of the Taker of Souls

The things that were and shall be again

first chosen in this realm to exist

Heeey!

fallen order forever condemned

The Evil Dead...

Stirred from their entombed sleep

Resurrected by the

spell of summoning

Set forth upon the earth to destroy

To come forth and devour the living

The gate has now opened

By dark necromantic means

Let loose into the world once more

To hear their horrific screams!

By the mastery of ancient decree

They shall infect

the living with disease

To rotten their bodies

and decay the flesh

And to give the living

a horrific death!

The things that were

and shall be again

The first chosen

in this realm to exist

Heeey!

The fallen order

forever condemned

The evil dead!

The things that were -

and shall be again

It's the Return

of the army of the dead!

The things that were

and shall be again

They have returned

to usher in the end

Heeeey!

Possess the living

their flesh to rend

The evil dead!
