The Thing That Should Not Be

(Hetfield,Ulrich,Hammett)


Messenger of fear in sight
Dark deception kills the light

Hybrid children watch the sea
Pray for father, roaming free

     Fearless wretch
     Insanity
     He watches
     Lurking beneath the sea
     Great old one
     Forbidden site
     He searches
     Hunter of the shadows is rising
          Immortal
          In madness you dwell

Crawling chaos, underground
Cult has summoned, twisted sound

Out from ruins once possessed
Fallen city, living death

     Fearless wretch
     Insanity
     He watches
     Lurking beneath the sea
     Great old one
     Forbidden site
     He searches
     Hunter of the shadows is rising
          Immortal
          In madness you dwell

Not dead which eternal lie
Stranger eons death may die

Drain you of your sanity
Face the thing that should not be

     Fearless wretch
     Insanity
     He watches
     Lurking beneath the sea
     Great old one
     Forbidden site
     He searches
     Hunter of the shadows is rising
          Immortal
          In madness you dwell
