[Verse 1] Cathulhu Mistress of the deep Slumbering where shadows sleep Purring in a spiral dream Nine lives curling in the seam Whiskers twitch in drowned stone halls Tide-marked runes along the walls Moonlight shivers Held at bay By eyes that stole a star away [Chorus] Cathulhu Mistress of the deep Whispering curses none dare repeat Claws in the dark Where the old bones keep She waits She waits In the sunk-still sleep Cathulhu Ruler of the drowned and bleak A single glance and the brave grow weak Call out her name Feel your reason leak She waits She waits Mistress of the deep [Verse 2] A mystic lair somewhere down there Where bubbles rise like broken prayer Eldritch scratching post of stone Scored with screams the sea has known She stalks through pillars Smooth and black Tail a question mark Curled back Every step a quiet spell Every yawn a distant bell [Chorus] Cathulhu Mistress of the deep Whispering curses none dare repeat Claws in the dark Where the old bones keep She waits She waits In the sunk-still sleep Cathulhu Ruler of the drowned and bleak A single glance and the brave grow weak Call out her name Feel your reason leak She waits She waits Mistress of the deep [Bridge] In the lost city of R’lyeh She kneads the world in her paws (hey) Dreaming of worlds made of yarn and awe If she wakes If she stretches If she ever comes to feed All that’s left will be a silent sea and a trail of sinking beads [Chorus] Cathulhu Mistress of the deep Whispering curses none dare repeat Claws in the dark Where the old bones keep She waits She waits In the sunk-still sleep Cathulhu Ruler of the drowned and bleak A single gaze and the strong grow meek Call out her name when you start to sink She waits She waits Just beneath the brink
