THE BEAST

Through all my life I was waiting for that moment! And finally I can proudly share it! In 1984 Metallica released their second, amazing album "Ride the Lightning". One of the songs was "The Call of Ktulu"; an instrumental composition, which was intriguing me since I've heard it for the first time. And of course I fell in love with that track. I promised to myself, that one day I'll make vocals to that song. Listen to the awesome, original track: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfGMinbSVI8 Well... so I did it! A few months ago I started to sing it and to look for the sounds. Some day I discovered that the special vocal line is ready. Then I of course read Lovecraft's novel "Call of Cthulhu" and, based on this story, I created the final lyrics for the song. And now you can enjoy that effect! \m/ - - - - - - - - - - - THE CALL OF KTULU Lyrics and vocals - by Less There are remnants of Monster stuck in a world of human race It brought us destruction from the eons long gone in the time And I saw, I made the shape Believe me, that Thing is going to wake We live in ignorance on the seas of infinity We cannot run away from this dark age deadly light You should know that’s the force was before humanity That Gods, they freeze my blood and I’m mad, when I dream of them I saw the manuscript and I couldn’t fall asleep again And I tried every night But sickly was imagination mine I read a story strange of societies and secret cults Dark voices from the past and titanic walls of slimy stones And that sound, mysterious like a flap of monstrous wings One man was crying at night to be saved from a hellish Being And then another one jumped out of the window’s heights There was fear, there was a scream haunted groans of tormented lives Go throughout the waves where Cthulhu slipped under the water rough, so go There was a bang just like the stench of thousands open graves, then go Time never waits, the Force is awake Only to lead us for a war Ready to crush, destroy the land with only a single punch Its trace erases memories with the death Blackness was spilled, mankind is gone pushing in killing darkness No, we’ll not survive, all stuck in fear in face of dripping Babylon But what if that Thing is only a lie? The hideous stone city of R'lyeh, the monolithic fortress, hides the great Cthulhu and his horde in muddy tombs. People's words cannot describe that Thing and an abyss of screams and insanity. Soon the Monster will grope its way through the black gates. And when I think about the size of all down there - I want to cease to exist. We live in a temporary place There’s no courage till that Thing’s still here Our empty fates shall be left Forever undone
