Alhazred Lyrics

In Caliph's court
born and enslaved only then to be exiled in fear
Raised by ghouls and beings of ill portent
Secrets of blood upon desert sands
Greatest conjurer, who through music enthralled evil from places unseen.
Hearken, I speak of Alhazred
Traveler of the realm beyond sleep

Dance with the Djinn
Stare into death's pallid eyes
Commune with the dead
Harvest their black wisdom

From Babylon, ancient whispers
Carry echoes from old, deathless kings
Here within this dying beast's entrails
Lie red visions of your empires fall
Greatest Sorcerer who, unblinking, gazes into the blackest abyss
Hearken, I speak of Alhazred
Who sees all, yet remains unseen

Dance with the Djinn
Stare into death's pallid eyes
Commune with the dead
Black wisdom seals your demise

To walk the crimson wasteland and thus return unscathed,
Pacts of spirit and flesh shall mark your wretched soul.
Above the sands of Damascus awaits the nameless void.
For, the deathless ones to whom you're tethered
reach out to seal your demise.

From the blackest abyss, peers an ageless terror.
The great, crawling chaos grants knowledge infernal.
Summon the dead payed with blood
Torn limb from limb
Alhazred
