Chthulu and mighty Dagon slumber beneath the sea
And dream of human sacrifice in the nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh
"Mad" Abdul Alhazred heard Al Azif
And penned a book of summoning C'thulu and Yog Soggoth. Oh!

Chthulu and mighty Dagon slumber beneath the sea
And dream of human sacrifice in the nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh
Chthulu and mighty Dagon slumber beneath the sea
And on the day the stars align they'll come for you and me

Together they feast on souls and chuckle at our wails
Summoning death from the sky in a fiery hail
Noble kings and princes trembled at their names,
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn. oh!

Chthulu and mighty Dagon slumber beneath the sea
And dream of human sacrifice in the nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh
Chthulu and mighty Dagon slumber beneath the sea
And on the day the stars align it'll be death for you and me

Deep Ones lives forever but not so mortal toys
Bat-like wings and giant tentacles make meat of girls and boys.
One dread night it happened, C'thulu rose from the ocean floor
Nyarlathotep went to play and drive mankind insane.
And Hastur that mighty Old One poured on the loathsome hoar.

Mountains cracked with madness, the sky filled with flames,
Innsmouth teemed with cold ones in every street and lane.
And Arkham's best and brightest could not be brave,
As that eldritch horror arose from his watery grave. oh!

Chthulu and mighty Dagon slumber beneath the sea
And dream of human sacrifice in the nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh
Chthulu and mighty Dagon slumber beneath the sea
And on the day the stars align it'll be apocalypse and misery!
I got in one of those weird moods last night (I can explain the whole thought process if anyone's interested) and was inspired to write something for the first time in a while. Short version, I thought "What would make a beloved childhood classic BETTER?" and the obvious answer was "Why, a touch of eldritch horror!"
So here I present to you "C'thulu and Might Dagon."

(For those who don't recognize it, sing it to the tune of "Puff the Magic Dragon.")
