“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”
~ H.P. Lovecraft
Great Cthulhu Dreaming
To the tune of California Dreamin’ by The Mamas & The Papas – 1965
All the Leaves are Dead
And the sky is grey
Walking on the beach
On a winters day
I’d be cold and torn
If I was in R’lyeh
Great Cthulhu Dreaming
(Ia’ Ia’ Cthulhu)
On such a winters day.
Stepped into a church
I’d burn along the way
As I watched the flames
Well, I began to pray
You know the Deep Ones like the cold
They know that I won’t stay
Great Cthulhu Dreaming
(Ia’ Ia’ Cthulhu)
On such a winters day
All the Leaves are Dead
And the sky is grey
Swimming by the beach
On a winters day
I didn’t have to tell her
She’ll join me in R’lyeh
Great Cthulhu Dreaming
(Ia’ Ia’ Cthulhu)
On such a winters day
(Ia’ Ia’ Cthulhu)
On such a winters day
That’s A Hentai
To the tune of “That’s Amore” by Dean Martin
(In Carcosa where love is king,
When thing meets girl, here’s what they say)
When the stars fill your eyes as the tentacles rise
That’s a Hentai
When you know what to do when Cthulhu does you.
That’s a Hentai
You Cry Tekeli-li-a-lii, Tekeli-li-a-lii
And you’ll Chant Ia! Ia!
Hearts’ll play tippi-tippi-tay,, tippi-tippi-tay
Like a mad tarantula
When the Demons come through and they’re all loving you
That’s a Hentai
When your friends are all killed as each orifice is filled
You’re in Love
When you dance in your dreams keeping time to your screams, signore
Scusa mi, but you see, and return to the sea
That’s a Hentai
In Carcosa you do with a Shoggoth or two,
That’s Hentai
When you’re summoning Dholes and they fill all your holes
That’s Hentai too
You Cry Tekeli-li-a-lii, Tekeli-li-a-lii
And you’ll Chant Ia! Ia!
Hearts’ll play tippi-tippi-tay, tippi-tippi-tay
Like a mad tarantula (Lucky fella)
That’s a Hentai (That’s a Hentai)
If your Heart fills with sighs when worms wrap round your thighs
That’s a Hentai
When you’re getting your fun, Nec-CRO-nom-I-con
You’re in Love
When your friends all get killed as each orifice is filled
That’s Hentai (Hentai)
That’s a Hentai
Little Drummer Thing
Ia’ Cthulhu (he’s waiting for you)
A Sleeping god to see (upon his Throne)
Our Sacrifices Scream (In death all alone)
When slain before the King (crushed with a stone) (So all alone) (flensed to the bone)
Necronomicon (Him we Exhume)
From His Tomb
Ancient Master (he comes from the Stars)
I am a Deep One too (the oceans are Ours)
Cthulhu gifts we bring (Your call we hear too)
And in our Madness sing (all covered with goo) (Seaweed and goo) (It’s good for you)
Shall R’lyeh rise for you (Its rising for you)
Eclipse the Sun?
Dagon Nodded (for the stars were right)
The Deep Ones all kept time (for they were so right)
We flogged the slaves for him (Bind the slaves tight)
Flogged them to death for him (Un-Bearably Tight) (Blood smelled so right) (It was a sight)
Then He Devoured me (His Chosen Deep One)
What Have I done?
