about

Just a silly.

lyrics

Well, I got this ancient book from the Arkham library stack,
Summoned somethin' over and I wish I could send it back.
Well, I don't miss much when translating Arabic,
But mercy! I need help and I need it quick.

Well, hello, C-T-H-U-L-H-U,
Tell me what in the world'll be left by the time you're through.
You're a city-sized living lump of primordial goo,
Well, I smell C-T-H-U-L-H-U....

I was a nerdy little bookworm, and it disappointed Dad,
Mama told me someday all those books'd drive me mad.
She told me now and then I should go out and play,
And now I wish I'd listened to what she had to say...

'Cause Mama never told me 'bout nothing like Y-O-U.
Bet your mama musta been another interstellar kaiju, too.
All those apocalyptic prophecies are comin' true --
Well, I smell C-T-H-U-L-H-U.

Well, you're green, squishy, kinda fishy, smellin' over-ripened,
The shoggoth is a-shamblin' and the servitors are pipin'.
Down in sunken R'lyeh's where you waited all a-dreamin',
And now you're up and at 'em, everybody start a-screamin'...

'Cause the world ain't ready for nothin' like Y-O-U,
I bet your mama musta been another eldritch horror, too.
And it looks like the human race is finally through --
Well, I smell C-T-H-U-L-H-U.
Well, I smell C-T-H-U-L-H-U!

The Blue Rose Rare and Other Faerie Tales
by Alexander James Adams

supported by 7 fans who also own “C-T-H-U-L-H-U”

Alexander James Adams "The Blue Rose Rare and Other Faerie Tales" is an excellent album. With songs retelling a variety of myths and faerie tales, each song is both very fun to listen to, fits well together as an album, and is distinct from the rest of the album. Brownie Dan especially stuck out to me, both in terms of just being a really fun song musically and in terms of the lyrics being delightful. Definitely worth a listen, and thank you for a wonderful album. Kamani
