Payne's Gray - Kadath Decoded - The Way to Ngranek

Payne's Grey were a very talented and unlucky german prog metal band.They released only two albums: a mini cd called infinity in 1991 (re-released in 2000) and kadath decoded in 1995.Kadath decoded is a concept album based off on the dream quest of unknown kadath by hp lovecraft.The album is outstanding and capture the mood and the atmosphere of the lovecraftian's writings very well.The album is perfectly balanced and very original,sometimes it reminds me some early shadow gallery (there is even a flute player here).
This is track 07,the way to ngranek.Here are the lyrics:

Want to find the destination ultimate?
Thou must climb the crags of Ngranek,
Whereas hidden through the idols jealous hate
Chisell'd from the very rock, the black,
On the wrong side of mountain
Lies the key to further route. -
All but certain; all but certain...

This carved count'nance is to point, here
Where God's and mortals race may mingle,
live at places which are near
unknown KADATH

Useless wisdom, while in error !
Grab'd by powers who but howl,
Down goes the trip in faceless terror
Deep into earth's forbidding bowel.

Wings of darkness scare your stiff
Not to mention other creatures,
They all dwell this sub-worlds rift
Showing you their ugly features.

Climb the ladders, advance stairs,
Made for steps of gint's feet.
Only your will, none of theirs,
Helps you overtake the lead.
