Lyrics
(Quote)
If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing. A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings... It represented a monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind. This thing, which seemed instinct with a fearsome and unnatural malignancy, was of a somewhat bloated corpulence...
(The Mist)
A millennium ago from the sky they fell
From the vacuum of space where the Night Gaunts dwell
They come to earth with an unknown goal in mind
But an unbearable and uninhabited world is what they find
The shoggoths they harnessed to do menial things
But some of them revolted and fled to the sea
To the deep ones – ancient and wise
Who ruled the dark below but veyed for the skies
But the elder ones from space didn’t realize
That R’lyeh rested just below the tides
Under the undertow so far deep inside
Dagon’s army arose from far and wide
Ravaging battles took place all across the countryside
But even though the deep ones lost and were forced to hide
They waited since then for once again to rise
(Chorus)
Down below the sea – R’lyeh calls to me
“ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn”
It speaks in my dreams – Cthulhu promises me things
“ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn”
(The Mist)
I may be a spirit now – I obey him anyhow
“ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn”
I will drift out to sea – R’lyeh calls to me
“ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn”
(Squidyface)
My eyes are bloodshot and wide with that vacant look inside
And even though they never blink they suit me just fine I don’t mind
My mouth is too wide and I have gills on both sides
How many nights I’ve cried from my social loss of pride
Cuz I’m considered hideous
People hate me, my nickname is squidyface
My scaly skin is unnaturally ridiculous it’s not fiction this
Condition is serious and people swear I’m delirious
All the people around me are so full of hate and lies
But they’ll all see the truth when they see R’lyeh start to rise
(Chorus)
Down below the sea – R’lyeh calls to me
“ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn”
It speaks in my dreams – Cthulhu promises me things
“ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn”
(Squidyface)
I’ve got that innsmouth look – my land legs I’ve forsook
“ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn”
As I swim out to sea – R’lyeh calls to me
“ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn”
(Escaped lunatic)
That is not dead which can eternal lie
And with strange eons even death may die
Because I know his followers are everywhere and scheming
And in his house at R’lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming
Is he an ally of the mighty messenger from space
Nyarlathotep who came from the world of seven suns to this place
As for me I know what I must do
And if you want to live I ask for you to do it too
I feel the oceans moving there is no time to lose
Search the dreamlands and listen to Cthulhu
He’s driven men mad sure but what am I to do
If I’m crazy well I say I’ve got nothing left to lose
Because no one’s ever liked me and no one ever will
The loss of ethics around is appearing to be so unreal
The violence and the bloodshed the sirens becoming shrill
Why no one does anything but say they understand how I feel
All these things together wrap up into a package deal
You can stop one thing but all the rest continues still
There seems to be no hope but trust in me there will
Be a moment when the earth seems to stand still
A time when the system stops and will never grind again
When men will turn to man looking for a friend
For all your vicious hate a retribution will
