It's his addiction, the mindflayer's addiction Out from the cavern of before Comes an ancient being He damns his thirst; it's his genesis and his curse Arcane scrolls, dimensions he's crossed That bastard beast, he hunts Cast spells from worlds long lost That bastard beast, he preys It's his addiction, the mindflayer's addiction Somewhere in the shadows He waits, waiting for his time to strike Insatiable thirst, violent taunts They're his needs not his wants No, no way, run, run far away Oh no, not my brain! Yes, your brain! It shall be devoured! A victim to sustain him Feed off the brain, drain the life juices Devour the intellect, flayer of the mind Flayer of the mind It's his addiction, the Illithid's addiction
