ALKALOID - The Fungi From Yuggoth Lyrics

Here in the vast sunless void
On the outer rim of the sphere of Sol
With but dust and the odd asteroid for company
We alighted eons ago


The Old Ones were
The Old Ones are
And the Old Ones shall be

Not in the spaces we know, but between them
They walk serene and primal
Undimensional and to us unseen


When on Earth single cells but bungled
Our spores escaped on a young star's scattering clouds
Consigned to mere remote fungal puppetry
From our frigid refuge, in perpetuity endowed


The Old Ones were
The Old Ones are
And the Old Ones shall be

Not in the spaces we know, but between them
They walk serene and primal
Undimensional and to us unseen


Nodes of fungous entanglement
Traversing the chasm
That bodes mortality among us
And our life-giving plasm


We, the agents of permanence
We, the guardians of sentience


The Old Ones were
The Old Ones are
And the Old Ones shall be

Not in the spaces we know, but between them
They walk serene and primal
Undimensional and to us unseen


But what is this now?


Flung
Like spidery crumbs
Machines have come
From the Oort Cloud


We watched the monkeys come and go
Saw the Star Spawn passing
But these these will change everything
