lyrics

Prelude:

Into my loneliness comes --
The sound of a flute in dim groves that haunt the uttermost hills.
Even from the brave river they reach to the edge of the wilderness.
And I behold Pan.

I lived there a lifetime ago and worked in the basement room from time to time
But never too close to the bricked up arch against the far wall

At times I imagined I heard something there
a soundless sigh
a whisper that echoed from within and below

There was no record of where it led and I dreamed about its legacy
A different house, a darker host
A place set at the table for one who has never come but shall hunger when he does
of a god in bone

Every night, the same dream, the same glimpse of witchery
The faithful, clothe themselves in the skins of lost children
Half-alive, bleeding freely from the knives of the slattern
Down the steps, dragged by legs to the waiting archway

A sudden thrust of my arm met nothing
So I turned, toward my rooms and my nightmares
Did I hear a faint whisper, then another?
Then a soundless sigh hanging there?

But all ablaze, the shrine to foulness fell and the faithful sealed behind that wall

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A silence, then a whisper, then a dream unbidden
Of this house, but before, in a different time
When the faithful kept their fane in a lightless grotto
in the cellar of this house, centuries long ago

Alone, I have lived in this crumbling corner
Of a street overlooked and unloved by the throng
Every darkened doorway has known my footfall
Every beam and cellar has felt my touch

The dreams, they persist and bewitch (my mind)
Draw me down to the cellar.....to the seat of it all
An archway of mortared stone and rotten brick
Is the scene for lost ritual and sacrifice

Forgotten glories and heedless sins
Flash before my eyes
Shown the path, beholden to him
That I yearn to see

The cleaving whispers, the graveling call
Set me on my way
When I awake, every brick lies in pieces
And a square of pure black draws my eye

Specters flit before me!
in service to those that sleep beyond

The grotesque call to those tiny dead
Lifted up, lurching, heaving to and fro
Then they came, from stench-filled pools
Their whisper, a scream from my rotten lips

Fleshless faces speak a silent song
as sightless sockets glow without flame
Rejoin my kin that haunt clammy depths
Where we dead dream a dream of Pan

You've found us!
Horror!
Come with us!
Come down!
