From distant space in between                                            spaces, we watch plotting out the course. The Human Race blind to its fate, asleep controlled beyond the stars. Through eons old and light years cold, we came with sinister intent. We've guided history for centuries toward the doom of men. We watch from the quiet spaces between           where no mere mortal has ever gone. We watch as we always have; still unseen           and we've been here all along. We watch for a moment soon to come. They           have no clue as they drift through their days. The Moon is full, the stars are right. We rise           from the places where                      we watch... In darkened cellars of old                             buildings and in remote mountain woods exist faint traces of our race; fragments of knowledge no one should pursue at all. When darkness falls, some half-remember our dark names. Cover of night hides ancient rites. Our moment's drawing near again. Our names leak from whisp'ring lips all quiv'ring           spoken low beneath audible tones. Foul symbols in air shaking hands tracing,           memorized from profane tomes. We wait as the ritual's unfolding           poised to take our rightful place on top. The stars are right, the chanting's high. We rise           from the places where                     we watch... World turns through the ages and we watch. Ancient ones, our time is nigh.                  We watch. Don't resist. We're coming through.                WE WATCH.

Sumus Vigilantem
From distant space in between                                            spaces, we watch plotting out the course. The Human Race blind to its fate, asleep controlled beyond the stars. Through eons old and light years cold, we came with sinister intent. We've guided history for centuries toward the doom of men. We watch from the quiet spaces between           where no mere mortal has ever gone. We watch as we always have; still unseen           and we've been here all along. We watch for a moment soon to come. They           have no clue as they drift through their days. The Moon is full, the stars are right. We rise           from the places where                      we watch... In darkened cellars of old                             buildings and in remote mountain woods exist faint traces of our race; fragments of knowledge no one should pursue at all. When darkness falls, some half-remember our dark names. Cover of night hides ancient rites. Our moment's drawing near again. Our names leak from whisp'ring lips all quiv'ring           spoken low beneath audible tones. Foul symbols in air shaking hands tracing,           memorized from profane tomes. We wait as the ritual's unfolding           poised to take our rightful place on top. The stars are right, the chanting's high. We rise           from the places where                     we watch... World turns through the ages and we watch. Ancient ones, our time is nigh.                  We watch. Don't resist. We're coming through.                WE WATCH.
Been watching too many old movies and reading too much Lovecraft, I guess.
