The stale air The freezing Accursed Becoming All hollow And spectral The tangled mass all oily black Foetid This chitin Our armor A vessel This passage Through essence A river of putrescine CHORUS Watch the razors part And let the darkness in The bloated drown in the wake of those that learn to swim The bifurcation is neigh So let the cull begin Upwelling discord inside Unending plasma within The vacuum enshrined The future denied The maw open wide Nothing inside Waiting Tenebrous Acidic Our blood is The key and The gateway To the new vacuity Deadlight The beacon Distort and Awaken The forebear The all-one It will be us once again

Many Armed Many Eyed At night I still see their faces Scrambling over the concrete Dragged away By Citizen Leather, Enchained, Smoking out their rat-holes With gas and brass. They came from the sea Big eyes wide and mouths agape So hungry, And nothing to feed them, Forked tongues, Speaking to their children Underwater forever The city underneath my dwelling Hums alive With the thrum of engines Thundering through its cabled veins. Where nothing remains From the ricin and lies. They were not prepared for us. All marched forward, All had turned to dust. We kept the promise to our leaders Drown the victims, drown the children. We poison: the water. Poison the food. Poison the words used for weapons When they’ve none themselves They’re an empty vessel without context No hope and no contact Drive insane From the sight of their numbers We are many armed Many eyed Stay inside Like rats walled in mortar We are many armed Many eyed Screaming into the one-side void nodding grinning in unison All day. Black noise like a beat Club battery Pounding out the message Breaking down the door Blue light, blue light keeping me awake at night Decoding hum in Ratio decay Message in a message Filtered We know who you talk to And we see you when you dream We speak in reflections Of the past. Dilute The language til we’ve Nothing but verbs. Fight for you Is life for me Your born is my die Drive insane From the sight of their numbers We are many armed Many eyed Stay inside Like rats walled in mortar We are many armed Many eyed The madness keeps coming The bombs keep falling Secret meetings discovered Words you couldn’t hide Everything’s been undone By the electric eye Swore To approach the savior With a fist Cage The future lopped off At the wrist Never was the consequence so high I rewrote the sequence we severed Truth Cannot be scarred no matter What you do

Behind closed doors gargantuan sins orchestrate obscene wealth, Puppet strings playing out the tragedy of a species on the wane, The conductors of morally decrepit symphonies set the tempo of surging power, Draining life from the seething pit of humanity, inhumane. Oblivious, the players see only their own gain, And not the ripples of their deeds endlessly radiating, The Silent Shouter on the Hill distends jaws in empty screams, Deep below tentacles and tendrils awaken, twitching. The Devourer in the Mist stirs to the echoes of all consuming progress, The Bloody Crooked One's pawns play their sadist parts, From their ivory towers unknowingly above He of the Ivory Throne, Wringing bloody hands, beating blackened hearts. Corporate palaces funded by capitalist excess, Obscenely towering above diseased foundations, Taunting The Waiting Dark from eons of slumber, As it recognises the stench of corruption. The Great Manipulator begins to scheme, Sensing humankind's morality failing, Self destructive imperialism seethes, Eater of Dreams salivating and Blind Idiot God wailing. Halls of doors cracked open by croniest deals, The Treader in the Dust feeds on the pain of the subjugated, The unwitting spectating masses assemble, The Zombifying Essence seizes a moment long awaited. Consumerism and convenience driven evils, The God in a Box that everyone craves, Beats a drum for The Harbinger of Doom, The Great Manipulator ushers us to our graves. We we entomb our waste in the crust of the earth, Strangle the oceans with vile effluent, And fill the heavens with technological junk, We beckon The Bringer of Pestilence. Chorus: We ring the bells of our own demise, Our horrors open The Destroying Eye, The Fallen Wisdom readies her spawn, As we seal our own fate and bring a new dawn. The Contagion rages, The ending of ages.

Tonight we’re throwing inhibitions into recycle bins ‘Cause when we hit the floor we’re gonna go Dionysian With moves so ginormous, they get party unleashed We’re busting out of the maze I’m the vaulted beast Tonight we’re going overboard and riding the kraken And in just three more lines, we’ll bring the beat back in ‘Cause the place goes insane when that squid is released We’re busting out of the maze I’m the vaulted beast The vaulted beast

Stories keep her sane She opens veins just to feel But fantasies don't last And she pulls teeth to prove that fairies aren't real Smiling faces Secrets no-one wants to tell No crown No love No happy ending No-one can save you when you're just a little girl Fairytales lie Don't let them break you Even white rabbits die So don't let them take you She's falling down Its taken hold It feels like home In this rabbit hole Always Queen of her castle Fueled by the vices in her head Painted lips and blackened eyes Beautiful dolls at her tea party of the dead Frowning faces Secrets only she can tell Just pain And blood And bitter endings No-one can save you when you're living in this hell

Here we are in empty ruined corridors Clean, pristine, scuff-free and more Here we are a couple freaks still standing The rats will finish up the job for sure This won't be the place our paths converge to But rest assured the fall it isn't steep I promise that I'll force myself to fit in place And swear to god a promise I will keep The drugs do not work As if they ever could As if they ever would Staring into space A fragile tattered line According to design And I'm rushing ever after And I'm rushing ever faster To the end The drugs still don't work As if they ever could As if they ever would Blindly into space No city hill divine Just chaos by design For all of their deceit And all of their mistakes Reserve of endless breaks No crumb of succor shares The struggle to endure Leave that to the poor While I keep rushing ever after I'm rushing ever faster To the end

about

A huge collaboration of artists have come together to release a monster sized charity compilation of eldritch proportions to benefit the Lovecraft Arts & Sciences Council who are located in Providence, RI.

Due to the obstacles presented by the Covid-19 pandemic they are now faced with a grave threat to the organization and all aspects of their functionality are in jeopardy.

The LASC has made Providence a top culture destination for tourists worldwide and brings in a huge economic boon to the city. Our aim with this project is to help out with the Council's operating costs thus helping see them through the pandemic and help 'Put The Stars Right' again.

Not only does the LASC promote the literature of H.P. Lovecraft, but also the culture and artistic talent of his home city of Providence, RI. They also organize the bi-yearly NecronomiCon which features a wide variety of artists across many platforms, be it literature, film, art, gaming, and not forgetting musical.

This album features some of the bands that have even performed previously at NecronomiCon, such as FINAL, The Unquiet Void and The Difference Engine. The cover art was kindly donated by the famed, award winning illustrator Jason Eckhardt, who has done work not only for the LASC but also in a plethora of Lovecraft related media.

This album has been organized by Providence based promoters Goth-Ick/ unscene in association with Tigersquawk records, who have kindly added it to their label and also Component Recordings who have done all the mastering.

ALL proceeds from sales will be directly benefitting the Lovecraft Arts and Sciences Council.

Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!

Label, Tigersquawk Records
Produced by Goth-Ick/ unscene
Mastered by Robert Galbraith
Cover artwork by Jason Eckhardt

A HUGE! thank you to all those who have been involved in the making of this project! From the bottom of our dark little hearts.
