In the city of R'Iyeh beneath the sea,
Cthulhu has slumbered eternally.
Through countless eons of mortal time
dreams and visions have crossed its mind:
of how it was and how it will be,
of the destinies of you and me.
And as one hears Its disciples say
from Singapore to Innsmouth Bay,
Cthulhu will awaken one day.

So when the sea churns and quakes some night
and the shamans say that the stars are right
know that Cthulhu has regained Its might.
For as the Mad Arab warned mortal men:
what has come before will come again.
