Terence Chua - Do you hear the pipes, Cthulhu?

Lyrics © 1999 by Terence Chua (to the tune of “Fernando“ by ABBA) first performed September 3, 1999 during AussieCon 3, Melbourne Nominated for the 2003 Pegasus Filk Awards as “Best Parody“ Do you hear the pipes, Cthulhu? They were being played by shoggoths on the shores of Carcosa Can you hear our prayers, Cthulhu? Deep in sunken R’lyeh waiting for the rightness of a star? Where the Deep Ones worship Dagon, Mother Hydra in sea chambers built afar? Chorus: There was chanting in the air that night The stars were right, Cthulhu! You were dreaming of your destiny Beneath the sea, Cthulhu! Though the Elder Gods have cast you down Have no regret As the Al-Azif has prophesized, R’lyeh will rise, Cthulhu! We are waiting O Cthulhu Sacrificing virgins while the nightgaunts hover ’gainst the moon Seeking power O Cthulhu Drawing sigils in their blood and Elder Signs and
