The wretched man swore the oath And drew the sign of fire Gazing up, towards the skies Aiming for the stars
That is not dead which can eternal lie And with strange aeons even death may die
Call of Cthulhu Call of Cthulhu
Old bones I bow for you Old bones I kneel for you
Mysterious shadows, a cold wind unwind Forming as one, controlling his mind
Calling forth powers he cannot control Powers to great for his soul Evoking that which, rests in R'lyeh Dreaming and waiting for thee
And as the fire dies, the man lies on the ground Evil has struck his mind, to powerful to hold In the centre of the sign a figure is taking form The portal is open the circle is closed, as the old ones told
Yog-Sothoth arrives from his wicked domain From far beyond the stars And he, whose name pronounced must not be From his palace in Carcosa Raging inferno, as the old ones return Returning and claiming their earth Slaughtering all that come in their way So long they've awaited this day
All that is human, extirpated All that man has built, devasted
Corpses and blood cover the earth The old ones are in power But at distant places the elder Gods Prepares to set earth free of evil
That is not dead which can eternal lie And with strange aeons even death may die
