Cthulhu Dawn - Open to Everyone

What is the Cthulhu Mythos?



The Cthulhu Mythos comprises a "shared world" in which various authors set works of horror, with some overlap with the fields of fantasy, science fiction, and mainstream fiction thrown in. A reader might well compare this to Star Trek or Star Wars, but the Cthulhu Mythos is not controlled by some central authority which commissions books, maintains continuity, and so forth. Rather, authors use elements from each others' tales in ways which complement (and sometimes conflict) with other's stories. All of these authors, in one way or another, are paying homage to H. P. Lovecraft.



Some have objected to the term "Cthulhu Mythos", as it was not coined by Lovecraft himself, but by August Derleth. These people point out that "Cthulhu" is hardly the most important creature in the Mythos universe, and have proposed an astonishing array of names to describe the same pantheon. Still, "Cthulhu Mythos" is used by most fans, and it will continue to be used here.



Who is Cthulhu?



Cthulhu is a large green being which resembles a human with the head of a squid, huge bat-wings, and long talons (true, that doesn't really resemble a human, but bear with me here). According to H. P. Lovecraft's story "The Call of Cthulhu", Cthulhu rests in a tomb in the city of R'lyeh, which sank beneath the Pacific Ocean aeons ago. Cthulhu is dead but not truly dead, as he and his fellow inhabitants of R'lyeh sleep the aeons away. (Cthulhu is generally thought of as a "he" for some reason.) From time to time R'lyeh comes to the surface, and Cthulhu's dreams influence sensitive individuals across the globe to depict his image, slay, and found cults dedicated to him. In the past, R'lyeh has sunk after a short time, but the day will soon come when it rises to the surface permanently and great Cthulhu strides across a world thrown into chaos and anarchy from his telepathic sendings.

and yes hehe it is a Cradle of Filth song.....



heres the lyrics :)



Spatter the stars

Douse their luminosity

With our amniotic retch

Promulgating the birth

Of another Hell on Earth

Shadows gather poisoned henna for the flesh

A necrotic cattle brand

The hissing downfall pentagram

Carven deep upon the church doors of the damned

But no Passover is planned

A great renewal growls at hand

And only when they're running

Will they come to understand...



So ends the pitiful reign of Man



When the moon exhales

Behind a veil

Of widowhood and clouds

On a Biblical scale

We raise the stakes

To silhouette the impaled

Crowds...



Within this kissed disembowel arena

A broken seal on an ancient curse

Unleashes beasts from the seismic breach

With lightning reach and genocidal thirst

Mountains of archaos theories

In collision as at planetary dawn

Apocalypse's razorbacks

Beat wings on glass as thunder cracks

Unfurled across a world hurled to the black



Cthulhu dawn



Shatter the glass house

Wherein spirits breathe out

Halitosis of the soul

From a recking abscess

Plague of far righteousness

All fates hang in the balance

Mocking crucified dolls

An inquisition outs

When the Sun goes out our powers

Will extend throughout Heaven like Asphodel

As they have for countless lustrum

In dark Midian accustoned

To burning effigies of our enemies well



So begins the sibilant world Death knell...



When a corpse wind howls

And awakes from drowse

The scheming dead freed

Of gossamer shrouds

We gorgonise eyes

Of the storm aroused

Red...



Blinding time

All lines dine on this instance

A melting spool of beggar, negative frames

The skies teem alive, to watch die

Mankind hauled to fable in vast tenement graves...
