Oh Lovecraft

[praeriedog]

Somewhere deep in the ocean
an ancient city lies
R'lyeh, R'lyeh, how old must you be?

Hidden within your walls
old Cthulhu waits, dreaming
for the day of its return.

There are those who know
who worship dread Cthulhu
praying for the Great Awakening.

We would be in the dark
humanity
knowing not a thing
but for author H. P. Lovecraft
who wrote of this ancient horror
that we may know what comes.

While madness may result
from too much thought
can we do nothing?
Can we sit idly by?

Lovecraft, oh Lovecraft
how could you be like this?
To bring the horror to our eyes
but not tell us what to do!

How I long for the days of ignorance
when I knew nothing
the coming horror but a passing wisp
a thought in the dark
I could not remember.
