Dagon's Will

Share:

An ominous threat from ancient times
Concealed for aeon's awaiting
Beneath pitch black and raging seas It stirs to life again
A God of destruction and malice
Rise rise rise
Dagon's will
Rise rise rise
The end of times

Rise rise rise
Dagon's will
Once worshipped by creatures of old
In rotten stone it's return was for told
On the altar of praise a corpse lies bleeding
Silent they await their master
From the Stygian depths he climbs
Dagon's will, the end of times
It's time of slumber has ended at last
Disciples of end times chants; doom
Mighty Leviathan, the world eater rises
Foreshadowing the light of the moon
Rise rise rise
Dagon's will
Rise rise rise
The end of times
Rise rise rise
Dagon's will
In a death-like trance they speak words of corruption
Foul incantations written long ago
The cosmic gate to where the old ones dwell is open
Malevolent gods of dark waters and cold space
Here to seal our fate

Here to seal our fate
Here to seal our fate

The song "Dagon's Will" by Befouled is a tale of an ancient, malevolent god who has been lying dormant in the depths of the ocean for ages, but now begins to stir to life again. Dagon was once worshipped by creatures of old, and its return was prophesied in rotting stone. The lyrics describe how the disciples of end times chant "doom" as the mighty Leviathan rises and foreshadows the end of the world. The worshippers of Dagon speak words of corruption and foul incantations that were written long ago to open the cosmic gate where the old gods dwell. Malevolent gods of dark waters and cold space are here to seal our fate.

The song draws upon the Lovecraftian mythos of the Old Ones, a group of ancient and powerful deities that rule over the universe, and the concept of cosmic horror, which portrays the universe as an uncaring and malevolent place. The lyrics suggest that the forces of the universe are beyond human comprehension, and that the return of Dagon will bring about the end of times.

Overall, "Dagon's Will" is a dark and ominous song that evokes a sense of impending doom and a fear of the unknown.

An ominous threat from ancient times
A grave danger that existed long ago and still looms over us

Concealed for aeon's awaiting
Hidden away for ages and waiting to be discovered

Beneath pitch black and raging seas It stirs to life again
It awakens from its slumber in the dark depths of the tumultuous ocean

A God of destruction and malice
An entity of immense power and malevolence

Rise rise rise
It rises to power and asserts its dominance

Dagon's will
It follows the commands of the ancient deity Dagon

The end of times
Bringing about the apocalypse and the end of humanity

Once worshipped by creatures of old
Worshipped in the distant past by beings that no longer exist

In rotten stone it's return was for told
Prophecies foretold of its return, etched in decaying stones

On the altar of praise a corpse lies bleeding
A sacrificial victim lies dead on the altar where it is worshipped

Silent they await their master
Its followers wait in fearful silence for its arrival

From the Stygian depths he climbs
Emerging from the dark underworld of the ocean

It's time of slumber has ended at last
Its long period of dormancy is over and it is now awake

Disciples of end times chants; doom
Followers who believe in the end of the world chant of its arrival and the destruction it will bring

Mighty Leviathan, the world eater rises
A great sea monster emerges to devour everything in its path

Foreshadowing the light of the moon
A sign of the approaching apocalypse is seen in the pale light of the moon

In a death-like trance they speak words of corruption
Its followers speak in a trance about dark and corrupting things

Foul incantations written long ago
Spells of evil that were crafted ages ago

The cosmic gate to where the old ones dwell is open
An opening to an otherworldly realm where ancient deities reside appears

Malevolent gods of dark waters and cold space
Evil deities that rule the depths of the ocean and the vast depths of space

Here to seal our fate
Arriving to bring about our ultimate destruction
