Edit! Lyrics added, see below. This was a request! And I happen to have this song, seeing as how I only have 13 of the carols from both discs, not a lot. Soo, yes. Hope you enjoy!
Lyrics:
Alhazred said that is not dead which can eternal lie.
The Arab said that is not dead for even death may die.
For even death may die my dear for even death may die.
Alhazred said that is not dead which can eternal lie
And on his own he penned the tome that's called the Al Azif.
The howling devil sang to him with fiendish songs of grief.
With fiendish songs of grief my dear with fiendish songs of grief.
The howling demon sang to him with fiendish songs of grief.
Then unseen demons killed him dead on a dry Damascus lawn.
His words live on for strange eons the Necronomicon.
The Necronomicon he wrote the Necronomicon.
He still lives on in strange eons the Necronomicon.

alot of people seem to make the mistake of thinking that eldritch horror is nhilistic, and it couldn't be further from the truth. the true horror of reality is that life has a meaning, its just that the meaning either doesn't involve you or is something that you don't want. much life real life, the true horror isn't an absence, its that EVERYTHING has a meaning it just never revolved around you.

Has anyone else noticed that in these stories all the other species of the universe seem to cope with reality pretty well? The Yithians, the lizard people that came before us and the insect people that will come after us, the Mi Go, the Elder Things, they all know more of the universe than we do and yet seem to get along relatively well. But humanity goes insane and ultimately retreats from the pursuit of knowledge out of fear of what we might learn. Are we just a bunch of pussies? :P

@andreasbuehler1821 7 жыл бұрын

First of all, not everyone just goes insane. Lovecraft's reputation for that is quite a bit exaggerated. His protagonists sometimes crumble, but the stronger ones among them usually recover after a while. They may even win, once they have overcome their horror. There's a handful who even show up in several stories and have quite a career in researching the truth of the universe. One might argue that humanity is just in a transitional period. There's been sorcerers and magicians throughout Lovecraft's history who dealt with it quite well, and now (1930s now) that scientists are unveiling quantum mechanics and relativity, humanity will soon take their place among these species and the stars.

I sometimes wonder why Cthulhu gets all the press, when the ultimate horror is and always has been Azathoth. (Although an argument could be made for Yog Sothoth.) Cthulhu is in essence a water deity. As such, he is powerful, but not more powerful than, say, Cthugha or Ithaqua. All of these entities suffer limitations, indignities and even (temporary) death. The daemon sultan writhing mindlessly to the sound of impious flutes at the center of the universe and the all-in-one-and-one-in-all wear no such fetters.

@AbandonedVoid 5 жыл бұрын

It's quite simple. "Call of Cthulhu" holds an important place in the works of Lovecraft and is what typified the mythos as a whole. It became the most popular work because it was accessible and made early on. Later entities were added mostly by other authors who built upon the stories, and the ones Lovecraft himself wrote came later in his career. For the same reason, Dagon, Innsmouth, and Arkham are also sometimes referenced closely behind. It's not because Cthulhu himself gets all the press, but it's because the story that featured him played the biggest part in creating the mythos as a whole.

@calebwheeler8143 4 жыл бұрын

To elaborate on an earlier reply I made, Azathoth just exists on a different scale to humanity, like a nuke does to ants. Unfathomably vast horrors can be scary, but on Azathoth-scale they're just so vast that what's unfathomable is that we're supposed to be scared of them.

Love how there's a casual Chaos Undivided sigil between all the cthulu stuff

@samaritan_sys 6 ай бұрын

So the 8-pointed star of Chaos Undivided as a symbol of evil/chaos (not the same thing, if you're going by the belief systems from which the order/chaos dichotomy stems, but I digress) originates from Michael Moorecock's 'the Eternal Champion' stories, as the symbol of the forces of chaos in that universe, standing opposed to those of order. However, stylized as spokes of a wheel (as the Fantasy/40k/AoS are, with a circle halfway through), the sigil is actually an ancient Buddhist one symbolizing the 'Eightfold Path', with each of the spokes symbolizing one of eight Buddhist principles to be embodied so that one may attain enlightenment (nirvana). Quite funny, considering that practically each of these principles is inversely performed by one serving one of the Chaos gods, or Chaos Undivided.
