In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu lies dreaming. Yes! Yes! Cthulhu dreams! Cthulhu dreams in R'lyeh The ancients no longer trapped in incubus. Awakening from a seemingly endless slumber We have ushered in a golden age Relinquish your minds Filtering down from cosmic infinity Non-Euclidean structures rising from the sea Hideous, Monolithic Tombs Harboring intellect far beyond our comprehension The sunken city breathes They speak in our dreams We have returned to extinguish all traces of humanity's existence Behold, the desecration of man I am the beginning and I am the end I am the creator and I am the destroyer I am the Sculptor and the beholder I am the everlasting god trapped in sleep I am incomprehensible and of deceit
2.
Watch as entire cities fall within minutes The structures collapse upon the very foundation that they were built Hand over your minds I have claimed your hollow shells as mine Vaporizing your minds and claiming your bodies to live out the remainder of your days as my slaves Feeble human minds will never be able to understand I intend to devour this fucking world Send your prayers into the sky as you watch your families die Hopelessly trying to resist my will The Human Corpse Pile lies still Earth becomes a holding ground for rotting flesh i have returned to remove all traces of life to remove the human parasite curse my name and doubt my reign you will see the devastation that an elder god can bring pandemonium spreads: the earth itself trembles Relinquish all thoughts of resistance Fall to your knees and bow to me Be thankful for life given to you from me Fuck I, Humanity's King, I, The Great Unforeseen. I, The Dark Being, I, Extinction The Flood Engulfs the world Inhaling the corpses to R'lyeh Madness With my minions Spilling from my open mouth, We spread throughout earth To cleanse this plague

Feeble minds unable to comprehend Lines have blurred between reality and pretend those who have survived have lost their minds Better off dead than helpless inside Worthless humans reduced to vermin the alpha predator has lost it's throne They have retaken the planet that we thought we owned Removing the threads that humanity has sewn And the cultists revel in their victory they have brought extinction to their own race Used as pawns, they will join their brothers in flesh To look into their eyes is to turn yourself blind. horrific and with relentless malignancy, They drive the human cattle into their open mouths, devouring this useless world for their own "That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons, even death may die." The star spawn have arrived to do their lord's bidding reshaping our failed cities in their own image reclaiming what is left as their prize Parasitic life created to die Worthless humans reduced to vermin the alpha predator has lost it's throne They have retaken the planet that we thought we owned Removing the threads that humanity has sewn Relinquish your minds Your lives are mine Rebirth brings your ruination Unrelentless Expiration x2 Eyes cast upon an unimaginable catastrophe Those that remain hopelessly wander in blasphemy Abandoned by the gods that they gave their lives for You all placed your faith in puppets of our creation insignificant and unable to understand They bring their wrath to this forgotten land The Great Old Ones rise from their stone houses Rising to the surface to reclaim their crown Waging their war against mankind Driving these pathetic lifeforms to extinction Succumbing To Insanity The End of Humanity Refit for reprogrammability Enslaving those with asininity Great Cthulhu has awoken from his slumber Plunging Earth into inexorable thunder
