Where, Oh Where, Has Cthulhu Gone?

Dm C Dm Where, oh where has Cthulhu gone? D Dm A None of his lot remain alive Dm C A They packed up and they fled this world Dm C Dm In August 1945 Where, oh where are the Old Ones gone? Scrambled back to their darkling lands. They have fled, with rare good sense, The lightnings held in human hands. Gods who followed their politics For ages on the changing Earth Across the back of the Human breed Never guessed what its brain was worth From flint knives to the flintlock gun Humans leaped while Cthulhu dreamed. Atoms cracked in another breath. The old god woke, looked once, and screamed. A-bomb, H-bomb and N-bomb now, Masers, lasers, computer-wars: Fasat and fiercely the beast has amred That bares its fangs at the trembling stars. Wise, oh wise, were the gods who ran, Fleeing fast for the depths of space. Fiercer demons have come to stay. Human powers take their place. Down all the nethermost depths of hell You will not find, warns the prophet's verse, A shape more terrible than this, More packed with danger to the universe!
