  • (Lyrics are lower)A little video I made for the song Death To The World, by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society.
    This, and the song "The Festival" are my two favorite songs by them.
    Death to the world! Cthulhu's come:
    Let Earth abhor this thing.
    Let every mind prepare for doom,
    As anguish and woe he'll bring.
    Up from the sea, R'lyeh did rise:
    The cultists awestruck dumb.
    With ancient rites so wretched and perverse,
    Cthulhu's time has come.
    Death to the world! Cthulhu reigns.
    The Great Old Ones Destroy
    With wrath and doom, so cruel and foul,
    Replete with obscene joy.
    He rules the Earth with dreadful might,
    And through our ghastly dreams
    His twisting turning tentacles
    Elicit from us maddened screams.
    Cthulhu's time has come.

      If they were real, you would never be able to kill them. Their gods, they are immortal. Their servants, cultists, and children may be killed, but not the gods themselves.If anything, we would need an eldritch power of our own to banish them or imprison them, such as hoe Cthulhu was imprisoned in Rl'yeh.
