The Teeth of Yog

Yog's Legion [INTRO — DISTANT RITUAL CHANT] YOG… YOG… Before the breath— Before the light— Teach the living how to die. [VERSE I] Beneath an eyeless, dying sun, The hollow tribe becomes as one. With ash upon our mouths and hands, We stalk the edge of ruined lands. No grave receives the ones who fall, No sacred bones, no burial. The conquered and the kin belong Inside the tribe—inside the song. [PRE-CHORUS] No promised shore, No life restored— Only the hunger Of our lord. [CHORUS] YOG—OPEN WIDE THE STARLESS GATE! WE ARE THE TEETH OF DEATH AND FATE! FLESH UNTO FLESH—BLOOD UNTO NIGHT— DEVOUR THE LAST INHERITANCE OF LIGHT! YOG—TAKE THE BREATH, ERASE THE FORM! WE FEED THE VOID! WE FEED THE STORM! WHEN EVERY LIVING VOICE IS GONE— YOG ALONE WILL CARRY ON! [VERSE II] The bone drums shake the basalt floor, A rhythm older than the war. We eat the conquered, kin and foe— No body rests in earth below. Muscle, marrow, memory, Consumed into eternity. A thousand names between our teeth, A thousand ghosts that cannot leave. [PROGRESSIVE INTERLUDE — OVERLAPPING CHANTS] Take the body— Break the name. Swallow sorrow— Swallow shame. No beginning. Never born. Yog is waiting Past the storm. Feed the silence. Feed the deep. Death awakens. Gods must eat. [BREAKDOWN] WE DO NOT KILL TO LIVE! WE LIVE TO FEED! EVERY HEART— A TITHE! EVERY MOUTH— A NEED! YOG! YOG! THE VOID HAS TEETH! YOG! YOG! AND WE ARE THESE! [DOOM BRIDGE — CLEAN BARITONE] Then the heavens split apart Without a flame, without a sound. No hand descended from the dark. No crown was lowered to the ground. Something wider than the night Turned its gaze upon our fire. Every faithful jaw fell still Before the father of desire. Yog had never asked for worship. Yog had never learned our names. We were only mouths made useful— Eating worlds before he came. [FINAL CHORUS] YOG—OPEN WIDE THE STARLESS GATE! WE WERE THE TEETH OF DEATH AND FATE! FLESH UNTO FLESH—NIGHT UNTO NIGHT— WE HAVE CONSUMED THE MEMORY OF LIGHT! YOG—TAKE THE BREATH, ERASE THE FORM! CONSUME THE TRIBE! BECOME THE STORM! WHEN EVERY LIVING VOICE IS GONE— YOG ALONE— YOG ALONE— YOG ALONE WILL CARRY ON! [OUTRO — SLOWING RITUAL CHANT] We fed the dark… We fed the deep… Now Yog awakens… And we Must Feed.
