about

Corrosion hollows out their eyes.

lyrics

Life blooms from rotting filth and shit
Huge stalks as old as continents. In
Vast caverns iridescent green,
They come, The.
Mushroom. Men.
This way.
Approaching.

Their footprints leave an oily scar while
Vegetation curls up and then dies.
Corrosion hollows out their eyes.
They come Cor.
Ruption. Is.
This way.
Encroaching.

Run.
Run.
Run.

Deep in their mildewed den
Far from where humans ken
Fungal Barbarians
They show their acumen
With flesh decayed and rent
Mycelial henchmen
Night of the mushroom men!
Night of the mushroom men!

Spores blast from withered lamellae
And it sears our flesh right to the bone, I
Watch as the walls all come alive.
Ancient sta.
Tues of. Moss.
Their cries.
Echoing.

The beast has left his mark on these
Putrid agaricomycetes.
My friends engulfed, they cough and wheeze.
Leave them. No.
Time to. Look.
Run, we’re.
Escaping.

Run.
Run.
Run.

This luminescent glen
Runs crimson with blood when
Eukaryotic men
On our rear guard descend.
Chaos holds sway and then
One archer’s desertion
Spurs others’ hearts to bend.
“Stop” cries a paladin
Mad with psilocybin,
They make to flee again,
But it’s too late for them.
Yes, it’s too late for them.
Night of the mushroom men!
Night of the mushroom men!
Night of the mushroom men!

Run.
Run.
Run.

Run.
Run.
Run!
