Great Cthulhu
|
Ever the warrior God
|
Of all the old ones
|
He is the most terrible
|
For it is his delight
|
To slay and lay waste to everything that lies beneath his taloned feet
|
And the very lust to conquer
|
What was once free
|
Drives him onward across the heavens and through the spheres
|
|
It was he and his spawn
|
That defeated the elder things
|
Who had long possessed sovereignty of this world
|
Before he descended on his gray and leathern wings
|
Through the upper gate opened by yog sothoth
|
|
On the walls of lost cities
|
And in the carvings of madmen
|
Who have glimpsed him in their dreams
|
Is his image delineated
|
Within a tomb protected by great seals
|
He lies in death
|
Under the weight of the dark waters of the deep
|
Yet he dreams still
|
And in his dreams continues to rule this world
|
For his thoughts master the walls of lesser creatures
|

|
|
When the stars in their endless turnings
|
Assume the angles of the same rays they shed down
|
In the primordial dawn of the world
|
Then does r'lyeh rise upward so the house of Cthulhu
|
Emerges from under his watery prison
|
The mind of the god waxes strong
|
And he sends forth his will to those men
|
Who are open to his influence
|
The command to release the seals that bind his tomb
|
|
[solo: Karl]
|
|
Always the stars
|
Never remain in alignment long enough
|
For the enslaved men to reach distant r'lyeh
|
Before r'yleh sinks once more under the sea
|
Severing the bond
|
Between the will of Cthulhu
|
And the flesh of those he has enthralled
|
Leaving them to wail in confusion and despair
|
Upon the bosom of the vacant sea
|
