Full Lyrics:
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!
