NILE lyrics : "Sarcophagus"
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
Ah
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?]
