The Shadow Over Innsmouth Lyrics

Have you heard of the sinking city?

That lies on the rocky sea

The people are young and ain't pretty

But their treasure is hidden deep

I saw one a few years ago

He was green and colder than snow

I held out my hand and he said to me

I'll drown you if you don't leave

I have heard that the people there

Are quiet and weird, no time to spare

The children don't laugh and they watch you

And they only come out with the moon

I have heard they sell their souls

To the monsters that lie on the ocean floor

So they can spend eternity

Crawling in the pacific deep

Fish-like heads with unblinking eyes

That watch me and their grey-blue skies

Gills on their necks and green-webbed hands

As their fearless religion demands

Have you heard of the sinking city?

That lies on the rocky sea

I hear the ocean calling

As I lay in the water to sleep

As I lay in the water to sleep

As I lay in the water to sleep

As I lay in the water
