The Fungi From Yuggoth Songtext
von Alkaloid

Here in the vast sunless void
On the outer rim of the sphere of Sol
With but dust and the odd asteroid for company
We alighted aeons ago

"The Old Ones were
The Old Ones are
And the Old Ones shall be

Not in the spaces we know, but between them
They walk serene and primal
Undimensional and to us unseen"

Unseen

When on Earth single cells but bungled
Our spores escaped on a young star′s scattering clouds
Consigned to mere remote fungal puppetry
From our frigid refuge, in perpetuity endowed

"The Old Ones were
The Old Ones are
And the Old Ones shall be


Not in the spaces we know, but between them
They walk serene and primal
Undimensional and to us unseen"

Nodes of fungous entanglement
Traversing the chasm
That bodes mortality among us
And our life-giving plasm

We, the agents of permanence
We, the guardians of sentience

"The Old Ones were
The Old Ones are
And the Old Ones shall be

Not in the spaces we know, but between them
They walk serene and primal
Undimensional and to us unseen"

But what is this now...?

Flung
Like spidery crumbs
Machines have come
From the Oort cloud


We watched the monkeys come and go
Saw the Star Spawn passing
But these... these will change everything
