[00:01.28]The world in terror and madness lies
[00:07.81]Its ultimate doom is at hand,
[00:14.69]How ineffectual are the cries
[00:22.03]That uselessly ring through the land.
[00:29.51]Oh heaven help us, defend us Lord
[00:36.76]From this most unthinkable fright,
[00:44.34]But Heaven's empty or God has fled
[00:51.21]Before the Great Old Ones' might!
[00:58.34]For lo! The dark days are hasting on
[01:05.65]As Abdul Alhazred foretold:
[01:12.87]When will the endlessly circling stars
[01:19.98]Return the Great Ones of old?
[01:27.19]From far beyond the most distant space
[01:34.42]And nethermost caverns beyond,
[01:41.73]The Elder Ones will reclaim the place
[01:48.91]They held strange eons ago.
[01:56.38]In lightless chambers beneath the waves
[02:03.17]Where never the light of day gleamed,
[02:10.87]A billion hastening to their graves
[02:17.66]The great Cthulhu has dreamed.
[02:24.86]At night he whispered to those he could,
[02:32.14]The time of his rising was near,
[02:39.31]And though but few of them understood,
[02:46.42]Their hearts were crippled with fear.
[02:54.41]In dreams he calls to us, there we're his,
[03:00.93]The veil between worlds wears thin.
[03:08.14]In dreams we've glimpsed what our cosmos is,
[03:15.11]And our position therein.
[03:22.45]The knowledge that the dark gods bestow,
[03:29.70]The end of all things has begun,
[03:37.31]The only mercy we'll ever know
[03:43.85]Is sweet annihilation!
