Wake Up, Dread Cthulhu

by Tom Smith

about

It's a nice friendship. Lar DeSouza keeps coming up with great cartoons, and I keep writing songs about them.

lyrics

Wake up, dread Cthulhu, wake up
Wake up, dread Cthulhu, wake up

You’ve been sound asleep
In R’lyeh sunken deep
But now tonight
The stars are right,
And you’ve got souls to reap
Wake up, dread Cthulhu
Wake up, dread Cthulhu

What you gonna tell Shub-Niggurath?
What’ll you tell Yog-Sothoth?
What’ll you tell Nug and Yeb when they say
“Fthagn Ia”?
Wake up, dread Cthulhu
Wake up, dread Cthulhu

It was foretold in the Necronomicon
That you’d arise with your servitors and spawn
Wake up, dread Cthulhu
Wake up, dread Cthulhu
The Earth must be cleansed.

Wake up, dread Cthulhu, wake up
Wake up, dread Cthulhu, wake up

The Stars are right, like I said,
Humanity’s s’posed to be dead
But you horrific, squamous mass,
You won't get out of your bed.
Wake up, dread Cthulhu
Wake up, dread Cthulhu

What you gonna tell Ithaqua,
Dagon and Nyarlothotep?
It's preordained, so don't complain
How far you have to schlep
Wake up, dread Cthulhu
Wake up, dread Cthulhu....
