Horror of Yig Lyrics
[Intro, sample of Marlon Brando from Apocalypse Now]
"Horror has a face, and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. The horror."
[Verse]
I saw Yig
He saw me
We're together
In dark conclavity!
I saw Yig
He's so big
He smokes cigs
Eats just like a pig, say
Ohhh!
I saw Yig
I saw Yig
I saw! I saw!
He saw Yig!
Ughh!
[Verse]
Now Yig is shifting this gibbering mass
His hide boils with maggots
The pus-sac extrudes
[Chorus]
The horror that is Yig
When he rapes your mind
Your mind will snap like a twig
[Verse]
Shaping and raping, his conscience was clear
Infest black death
Spread hate and foul cheer
[Chorus]
The horror, the horror!
Where Yig doth tread
No man tread tomorrow!
Ohhh! Oh-oh-oh!
Ohhhh!
Reeking death harvest of humans in hatred
Suck on the shitbag of what you created
What...what we created
[Bridge]
Yig now is coming
Yig now is here
Yig now he makes things impossibly queer
Piles of maggots, clouds of flies
Fetid breath and bulging eyes
Yig comes and you die
You all die!
I saw Yig
I saw Yig
I saw!
I saw Yig!
