The Expedition

Lyrics to The Expedition
 I have decided to record what will surely be the last hours of my life
 I am the sole survivor of the expedition
 So far I have been able to find some safety in this chamber
 I have decided to record what will surely be the last hours of my life
 I am the sole survivor of the expedition
 So far I have been able to find some safety in this chamber
 but I know the barred door won't hold much longer
 The creature loomed before us
 resplendent in wickedness
 But invisible to our senses
 We grasped at nothingness
 I'm no longer sure of what day it is
 Or how long I have been trapped here
 I hold no hope for rescue
 My only hope is that the information in this recording
 may help the next expedition stop this terror
 that has killed us all
 Frozen and timeless
 Encysted, dormant, dessicated
 Drawn to the heat
 Of the life-glow and death exhausted
 Friction then impact
 Awakened by the penetration
 Mindless but omnipotent
 Driven by the only truth
 Light bends around the dripping sphere
 I feel it penetrate into my deepest fear
 It is invisible but it's breathing I can hear
 I can feel it's tongue rasping at my inner ear
 Mighty tentacles wrap 'round my neck
 It tries to take me in but I must not let it
 How do we fight what cannot even see
 How do we fight when we can't even breath
 Bastard
 creature
 spawned of chaos old
 When it's all done you'll be a part of me
 circulating systemically
 horror unfolds in the silent cold
 I'll never release my hold
 The creature loomed before us
 resplendent in wickedness
 But invisible to our senses
 We grasped at nothingness
 It drank deeply of our essence
 Showing itself in a crimson plume
 Prolonging the exquisite agony
 Showing us the future as it consumed
 The creature proved invulnerable to our weapons,
 All attempts to destroy the thing were fruitless
 It drove us deeper into the catacombs
 and then picked us off one by one
 It is almost completely invisible
 Until it feeds
 Searching the airless wastes
 Its thirst grew on through the eons
 Now its lust is only matched
 by the numbers of screaming fluid sacks
 Oblivious to the haunting threat
 Defenseless against attack
 Picked off one by one
 Embraced by the star born horror
 Alien mind with earthly intent
 tissue and plasma and intellect
 Your mind and body it will both infect
 You're the nutrient it has come to collect
 As it feeds its form comes to light
 Gelatinous veins and brains shining bright
 Your flesh is infested
 Your mind is bested
 defenses tested
 nothing is wasted
 Bastard
 creature
 spawned of chaos old
 when it's all done you'll be a part of me
 circulating systemically
 horror unfolds in the silent cold
 I'll never release my hold
 The creature loomed before us
 resplendent in wickedness
 But invisible to our senses
 We grasped at nothingness
 It drank deeply of our essence
 Showing itself in a crimson plume
 Prolonging the exquisite agony
 Showing us the future as it consumed
 It has been steadily exerting force on the door
 The ancient timbers are beginning to splinter
 Whoever finds this, I implore you
 The catacombs must be sealed shut
 I fear that the energy the beast has consumed
 are for reproductive purposes
 I will not go
 back to the cold
 I will not go
 back to the cold
 The creature loomed before us
 resplendent in wickedness
 But invisible to our senses
 We grasped at nothingness
 It drank deeply of our essence
 Showing itself in a crimson plume
 Prolonging the exquisite agony
 Showing us the future as it consumed
 I will not go
 back to the cold
 I will not go
 back to the fucking cold
