Ogdru Jahad Lyrics

ONCE... WE... WERE... FREE...
ONCE... WE... WERE... FREE...

They whispered of a prison
Ragnarok engine humming
Wrapped they in darkness dreaming
They are the mighty children
Behold the Doomsday project
Frog legions bear their vessel
Seven in Earth and Heaven

ONCE... WE... WERE... FREE...
ONCE... WE... WERE... FREE...

And underneath the desert
Encased in frozen bedrock
Stack sleeping agents waiting
To see the gates burn open
The desert rip asunder
They grind the land like corn
Bleed oily peals of thunder

Above the tortured heavens
So full of silent waiting
Howl screams of birth and triumph
Unlock the faceless hating
Bred in the depths of ocean
Of giant strength and tread
No hands defy their windstorm

ONCE... WE... WERE... FREE...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

We're talking about the 'Ogdru Jahad' here so the song is simply a taste of the kind of ruminations those dudes go through trapped in their stony prison waiting for the time to come when they will be free again. The 'Ogdru' are pretty much Mike Mignola's (Hellboy) version of Lovercraftian ancient gods who once held dominion over the earth and wait to do so again. The 'Frog Legions' seem like Mike's nod to the Lovecraft's deep ones, bent on helping their masters awakening and taking over the earth again.
