Follow me to a deserted spot and tell me all the crazy things you thought
Forgive me if I don't believe or act as if I can see through this hazy
disturbed lies people say define your life

Now we settle in our lonely spot and tell your story show me what you got
Forgive me if I don't believe or act as if I can see through this hazy
disturbed lies people say define your life

Captain Obed South sea islands, trinket trades for solid gold
Where it came from, no one's asking, sacrifice their very soul
Back in Innsmouth, times were trying, prayers unanswered, faith was weak
Obed Marsh he brought the saviours swimming off that Devil's Reef

Townsfolk start to disappearing fishing booms and gold abounds
Smart folks fearing Devil dealing Obed's followers jail bound
Moonlight ocean filled with creatures jailbreaking night of knives
Now the town will mix with daemons worship Dagon, never die

Truth be told the worst is coming sea invasion turnabout
Zadok screaming death to all men, they now know I've spoken out

Who's that knocking at my door?
Who's that knocking at my door?
Who's that knocking at my door?
Salt water splashes the hall floor

Who's that knocking at my door?
Who's that knocking at my door?
Who's that knocking at my door?
Salt water splashes the hall floor

No time to waste no time to fear pack my bags get outta here I bolted all adjacent doors but they have brought the 2 x 4's got to reach a window soon breaking noise disturb the gloom heading north from room to room facing death and certain doom finally found an open glass here the chasers coming fast soon I see them coming down watch the roof and check the town their on to me a search will start find a skylight clamber in darkness falls around my skin!

In the dark, in the dust, I'll find a way out I trust
There's a door to the street hug the shadows, move discreet
Sneak away door to door, search party predators

My map won't help this morning flight, I move out by instinct hoping I'm right
I wind and roam dead streets and lanes
don't dare to look back if they have gained

Finally I gave in and could not resist, looking to Devil's reef shrouded in mist
For what I saw haunts and attracts me still
The ocean alive and daemon filled

The throng did hunt for my escape, and what I learned of their townscape
So now I run along a route, abandoned railway evading pursuit
But still they gained, I kept my head, planned I did
Jumped in the brambles and there deep I hid
My head was down, made no sound there with my eyes shut tight
The mob was approaching and passed me right by
I had to see aware of the trajedy, fearful of madness
but still I was bold
The hideous swarm of bleating and froglike forms
I silently screamed and fainted out cold

The next day I awoke at noon somehow not insane
I walked the tracks to Arkham took a bus and then a train
The Boston FBI I found receptive to my tale
They later raided Innsmouth took the locals off to jail

Couple years passed without thought of Innsmouth or the look
Then dreams began to haunt my nights, I found a dusty book
of family history photographs and names of those before
Some family treasures of the past and relatives no more

Seems my great-great grandfather was captain Obed Marsh
His wife's repulsive gold tiara now just seemed bizarre
My nightly dreams of watery depths grow stronger day by day
While gazing in my mirror shows the blood I cannot change

I feel a strong regret and fear for actions I have done
But all will be forgiven when to Innsmouth I return
And swim out to that Devil's Reef, and dive the black abyss
to join my deep ones dwelling in eternal ocean bliss...
