Cthulhu slumbers beneath the sea,
Imprisoned by time, by debris
For deeds attempted
On plans reflected
Mirrors of dead days
Show death through blood-red haze
Bubbling froth erupts:
R'lyeh bursts forth
Those touched feel fear
As tendrils beneath wave weary --
Preying to overcome
A nightmare once more
