Nile - Sarcophagus Lyrics

Align:

Who Dares Disturb

My Blissful Sleep

Again in Anger

Must I Rise

How Long Unknown

I Lay Emtombed

My World

So Long Forgotten

Did Disown Me

Usurper

I was Scorned

The Suffering They did Inflict

Stained With Cosmic Black Sins

The Sun No Longer Sets Me Free

[The song, "Sacrophagus", could be thought of as a continuation of the Nephren-ka saga - perhaps a revisitation of the Lovecraftian mythos that this band has been exploring since our earlier work. In this latest chapter, whilst naively excavating in the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka, we have unwittingly awakened our protagonist from his long, restful interment. After wreaking his underworld vengeance upon us for disturbing him from his oblivion, he is tormented by memories of the unholy transgressions that had caused him his anguished eternal entombment... in all seriousness, though, I sometimes get the uneasy feeling that perhaps it would be best to leave Lovecraft's characters sleeping, undisturbed in an eternal dormant state - dead, as it were, but dreaming. Who knows what we might awaken?]
