The reclusive Providence, RI writer of horror and fantasy, H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937), created, “The Cthulhu Mythos.”
What? You haven’t read his works? You know, you really should.
The Tabernacle Choir performs a “delightful” Carol of the Old Ones, celebrating Cthulhu and the lesser gods.
I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do. My wife and I sing bits of it to each other as we stroll the streets of Cambridge.

look to the sky / way up on high
there in the night / stars are now right
eons have passed / now then at last
prision walls break / old ones awake!
they will return / mankind will learn
new kinds of fear / when they are here
they will reclaim / all in their name
hopes turn to black / when they come back
ignorant fools! / mankind now rules
where they ruled then / it’s theirs again
stars brightly burning / boiling
churning / bode a returning season of doom
scary scary scary scary solstice
very very very scary solstice
up from the sea / from underground
down from the sky / they’re all around
they will return / mankind will learn
new kinds of fear / when they are here
look to the sky / way up on high
there in the night / stars are now right
eons have passed / now then at last
prision walls break / old ones awake!
madness will reign / terror and pain
woes without end / where they extend
ignorant fools! / mankind now rules!
where they ruled then / it’s theirs again
stars brightly burning / boiling
churning / bode a returning season of doom
scary scary scary scary solstice
very very very scary solstice
up from the sea / from underground
down from the sky / they’re all around
look to the sky / way up on high
there in the night / stars are now right
They will return…
