Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
messenger  of fear in sight
dark deception  kills the  light
 hybrid children watch the sea
pray  for  father,  roaming  free
  fearless wretch
 insanity
 he watches
lurking  beneath the sea
 great old one
 forbidden site
 he searches
 hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
in  madness you dwell
 crawling chaos underground
cult has  summoned  twisted  sound
 out from ruins once possessed
fallen  city,  living  death
 fearless wretch
 insanity
 he watches
lurking  beneath the sea
 timeless sleep
 has been upset
 he awakens
 hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
in  madness you dwell
in  madness you dwell
not  dead which eternal lie
stranger  eons,  death may  die
drain  you of your sanity
face the  thing  that should  not  be
 fearless wretch
 insanity
 he watches
lurking  beneath the sea
 great old one
 forbidden site
 he searches
 hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
in  madness you dwell
