歌词与中文翻译
The world in terror and madness lies
恐怖疯狂笼罩人世
Its ultimate doom is at hand,
最终毁灭在眼前
How ineffectual are the cries
响彻在天地间的哭声
That uselessly ring through the land.
是多么徒劳无力
Oh heaven help us, defend us Lord
天堂啊，援救我们，上帝啊，捍卫我们
From this most unthinkable fright,
不受这不可名状的恐骇侵袭
But Heaven's empty or God has fled
可要么上帝已遁走，要么天堂空荡荡
Before the Great Old Ones' might!
哪敌威能广大的众旧日支配者！
For lo! The dark days are hasting on
全拜黑暗时代步步逼近
As Abdul Alhazred foretold:
阿尔哈兹莱德早预言：
When will the endlessly circling stars
何时周转群星尽归位
Return the Great Ones of old?
旧日支配者降临？
From far beyond the most distant space
来自深渊虚空之外
And nethermost caverns beyond,
最深邃的洞穴之下
The Elder Ones will reclaim the place
万古前统治此地的古老者
They held strange eons ago.
将要取回旧日故土
In lightless chambers beneath the waves
波涛下暗穴幽冥
Where never the light of day gleamed,
日光此处未曾照耀
A billion hastening to their graves
亿万异物冲向坟墓
The great Cthulhu has dreamed.
伟大克苏鲁在此做梦
At night he whispered to those he could,
夜中祂向能者低语
The time of his rising was near,
祂苏醒的日子要来临
And though but few of them understood,
理解深意的人无几何
Their hearts were crippled with fear.
侵心恐惧却尽数疯狂
In dreams he calls to us, there we're his,
噩梦深魇无可逃，祂向我们召唤
The veil between worlds wears thin.
世界间的屏障磨损殆尽
In dreams we've glimpsed what our cosmos is,
噩梦深魇无可逃，宇宙真相得一瞥
And our position therein.
还有我们在其中的地位
The knowledge that the dark gods bestow,
黑暗邪神赐予了知识
The end of all things has begun,
万事终焉将要到来
The only mercy we'll ever know
而我们所知的唯一救赎
Is sweet annihilation!
只有仁慈的湮灭！
