CTHULHU


(to the song "Daniel" by Elton John)

by

Dennis Matheson




Cthulhu's returning tonight to this plane
I can hear the insane cries of the artists who are writhing in pain
Oh, I see the stars and they're right tonight
No, I can't think now . . . I must have lost my sanity

R'lyeh is rising out of the depths
And Cthulhu is climbing up the last non-Euclidian steps
He is awake and his dreams are now real
Oh, why couldn't I have listened to Nylarthotep

Oh great Cthulhu, you are older than we
You have stopped your dreaming in your tomb in the sea
The stars are right, R'lyeh rises tonight . . .
Ia! Ia! Ia! Ia!, Cthulhu! Come take our sanity

Cthulhu's returning tonight to this plane
I can hear the insane cries of the artists who are writhing in pain
Oh, I see the stars and they're right tonight
No, I can't think now . . . I must have lost my sanity
Oh no, I can't think now . . . I must have lost my sanity
