X-mas Songs

By Eckhard Huelshoff


Song the First

Virgins roasting on an open fire

Ithaqua nipping on your nose

Endtime carols being sung by a choir

And folks dressed up like Tcho-Tchos

*

Everybody knows an old tome and some yellow sign

Help to make the season bright

Young deep ones with their eyes all hollow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight

*

They know that Nyarly is on his way

He's loaded lots of toys and corpses on his sleigh

And every Yog Sothot's son is going to spy

To see if Byakhee really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase

To mythos entities from one to 902

Although it's been said many time, many ways

Merry X-mas to you


Song the Second

Hark! The herald Byakhees sing

Glory to the newborn King!

Death on earth and Chaos wild

Saint and sinners reconciled

Joyful, all ye nations die!

Join the triumph of the skies;

With the deep ones do proclaim

Cthulhu raise from R'Lyeh

Hard! The herald Byakhees sing,

Glory to the risen King!

*

Cthulhu, by deepest space adored:

Cthulhu everlasting Lord.

Late in time behold Him Come

Offspring of the Black Goat's womb

Veil'd in slime, the Old One see;

Hail, th'incarnate Deity:

Pleased as fish, with fish to dwell,

Cthulhu, our mmanuel!

Hark! The Herald Byakhees sing,

Glory to the risen King!

*

Come, Terror of nations, come.

Fix in us thy dreadful home:

Rise, The Black goat's conqu'ring seed.

Bruise in us the Deep One's head,

Adam's likeness now efface

Stamp Thine Image in its place;

Second old one from below

Reinstate us in Thy glow

Hark the Herald byakhees sing.

Glory to the risen King!

*

Hail! The space born Prince of Death!

Hail! The son of Fishyness

Death and Dark to all he brings

Risen with vengeance in His wings

Wild He lays his glory by.

All born man, yes they shall die.

Born to raise the spawns of his,

Born to give them second birth,

Hark! The herald Byakhees sing,

Glory to the risen King!


BYAKHEES WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH

Byakhees we have heard on high,

Sweetly singing over Leng

And THOSE mountains in reply

Echoing their ghastly strains

*

Gloria,

To the risen Old one.

Gloria,

To the risen Old one

*

Cultists why this jubilee,

Why your vengeful strains prolong;

What the ghastly tidings be,

Which inspire your Endtimes-song?

*

Gloria,

To the risen Old one.

Gloria,

To the risen Old one

*

Come to R'Lyeh and see,

him whose Rise the Byakhees sing;

Come adore on bended knee,

Lord Cthulhu the risen king.

*

Gloria,

To the risen Old one.

Gloria,

To the risen Old one

*

See him in his ancient tomb,

Whome the choirs of Byakhees praise;

Dagon, Hydra, lend your aid,

While our hearts in love we raise.

*

Gloria,

To the risen Old one.

Gloria,

To the risen Old one
