"The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath"
Album: Emotional Holocaust

The ethereal darkness
As I gaze upon the city below
All is quiet
Except for me and the undead
We must make haste
To find the tower
Beneath the Sign of Koth
Or my quest is lost...

I don't know
What is worse
The thought of the Gugs
Or my ghoulish companions
Without further delay
We start to weave our way
Towards the center
And the towers first steps
Sprinting through the darkness
And the cities ignorance
I can see the doorway at last

The steps are enormous
Designed for the gigantic Gugs
After only a few
I'm out breath and slowing down the ghouls
They're force to help me
I can't stand the feel of their flesh
Wet and rubbery, makes me cringe mentally...

There's a sound ahead
A ghast trapped at the top of the stairs
The ghouls mortal enemy
Is dispatched without mercy
But things are now worse...
As we hear the Gugs coming up the stairs
We must reach the door
My palms sweat as I hold the tombstone

The trapdoor gives way
As we scramble up into the enchanted forest
Having survived the horrors of deep slumber
I bid farewell to my companions
As they shamble off
Towards the Plateau of Leng
I myself am bound Inganok
I cleanse myself of the sheen of decay
And start north towards Celephais...
