In the dark of the night I was tossing and turning
And the nightmare I had was as bad as can be
The chaos came from the ground
And started crawling around
Then I opened my eyes
And the Chaos was ME!!

I was once the most mystical god in all Egypt.
When the mortals betrayed me they made a mistake!
My curse made each of them pay,
But one puny soul got away!
Randolph Carter, beware,
Nyarlathotep's awaaaaake!

In the dark of the night evil will find him!
In the dark of the night just before dawn!
Revenge will be sweet
When the curse is complete!
(In the dark of the night)
He'll be gone!

I can feel that the chaos is slowly returning!
Fetch my staff and a dash of dark magic for that spell!
As the pieces fall into place
I'll see him crawl into place!
Sayonara, Carter, your grace! Farewell!

In the dark of the night terror will strike him!
(Terror's the least I can do!)
In the dark of the night chaos will brew.
Soon he will see that his nightmares are real.
(In the dark of the night)
He'll be through!

In the dark of the night
Chaos will find him
(Find him!)
In the dark of the night terrors come true.
(Doom him!)

My boy, here's a sign,
It's the end of the line!

In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night...

Come my minions,
Rise for Azathoth,
Let your evil shine!
Find him now,
Yes, fly ever faster...

In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night...

HE'LL BE MIIIIIIIINE!!!
Woohoo more spoof lyrics based on H.P. Lovecraft's stories! :dummy: Not as funny as my previous ones ([link]), but I couldn't wait to get this one out. This one parodies the villain's song from Anastasia, and it's loosely based on HPL's novella "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath" (my personal favorite of his stories, btw), and his short story "Nyarlathotep".

I've got some headcanon in which Randolph Carter attended one of Nyarlathotep's phantasmagorias in the short story, but managed to survive it, and then after "Kadath", Nyarlathotep is royally ticked off at Carter for slipping through his fingers twice...:paranoid:

(I've heard many different pronunciations of Nyarlathotep's name, so I apologize if the lyrics throw you off at the end of that second verse.)
