Ich bin der mächtige Yuggoth!
Ich ziehe stumm meine Bahn!
Weit hinter Neptun und Pluto
Kalt, grau und alt wie die Sterne.
Ich bin der mächtige Yuggoth!
Kreise am Rande der Welt!
Ich trage denkendes Leben
Türme und Tempel aus schwarzem Stein
Jenseits der Leere
Unnennbar fern
Die äußere Seele
Der verwesende Stern.
In meinen Höhlen
Tief unter Stein
Spür ich ihn wühlen:
Schoggothenschleim!
The day had come again, when as a child
I saw - just once - that hollow of old oaks,
Grey with a ground-mist that enfolds and chokes
The slinking shapes which madness has defiled.
That Nameless One to whom a thousand smokes
Rose, aeons gone, from towers up-piled.
I saw the body spread on that dank stone,
And knew those things which feasted were not men
There were great steppes, and rocky table-lands
Stretching half-limitless in starlit night,
With alien campfires shedding feeble light
On beasts with tinkling bells, in shaggy bands.
Far to the south the plain sloped low and wide
To a dark zigzag line of wall that lay
Like a huge python of some primal day
Which endless time had chilled and petrified.
I knew this strange, grey world was not my own,
But Yuggoth, past the starry voids
The body shrieked at me with a dead cry,
And all too late I knew that it was I!

German lyrics by Yuggoth (Froststarr).
English lyrics by H. P. Lovecraft ("Fungi from Yuggoth").
Outro lyrics by H. P. Lovecraft ("The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath"), translated by Michael Walter.
The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.
