R'LYEH

(Tune: "Marie" by Cliff Richard)

Imagine a wild winter's night
When nothing was peaceful, least of all me
I read by a candle's pale light
That book by Alhazred
It made me feel strange
The night I saw R'lyeh

The sound of those flutes shrill and clear
Came trickling softly into my head
I froze in unnameable fear
And then the dream took me
It made me feel strange
The night I saw

R'lyeh
With its sunken fires
With eldritch domes and dreaming spires
The mem'ry fades but still it waits
Beneath the rolling seas.

I remember the shapes
Those faces I knew
And the words that they sang:
"Ia! Great Cthulhu! 
Ia! Great Cthulhu!"

I woke to the sound of my screams
My candle had fallen, the room was in flames
I fled from that place and my dreams
And tried to forget them
But I still feel strange
To think I've seen

R'lyeh
With its sunken fires
With eldritch domes and dreaming spires
The mem'ry fades but still it waits
Beneath the rolling seas.

(Seemed like a nice place, actually...)
