NEW SONG: Is Nyarlathotep Your God?

[khaosworks]

My first Cthulhu-based ABBA filk in two years. Be very, very afraid. I had hoped never to unleash this, but it took me so long to figure out how to fit the multi-syllabic name of Nyarlathotep into a song...


Is Nyarlathotep Your God?
Lyrics © 2003 by Terence Chua
(to the tune of "Does Your Mother Know" by ABBA)

You're so cold, skin so pale
Dressed in black
With a look in your eyes that seems so out of whack
Like you're about to attack
Crazy hair - mocking laugh
You just seem like the sort
That can do a nasty ritual or two
I'd do the nasty with you

Before I start this obsession
Gotta ask the question
Is Nyarlathotep your god?
Well baby give me your answer
Tell this necromancer
Is Nyarlathotep your god?

Tell the truth girl (tell the truth girl)
Better come through girl
Even though you're odd
Is yours the right god?
Tell the truth girl (tell the truth girl)
Try to come clean girl
Let go that facade
Is yours the right god?

Got to check - look and see
Are you real
Or are you just a sad little cult wannabe
That's not the woman for me
I've been conned
Fooled before
Claimed they served Elder Things
But it turned out they hadn't the nerve (nerve)
I made them into hors d'oeurves

So baby give me your answer
Tell this necromancer
Is Nyarlathotep your god?
And we can chant and then maybe
Sacrifice a baby
Is Nyarlathotep your god?

Tell the truth girl (tell the truth girl)
Better come through girl
Even though you're odd
Is yours the right god?
Tell the truth girl (tell the truth girl)
Try to come clean girl
Let go that facade
Is yours the right god?

So baby give me your answer
Tell this necromancer
Is Nyarlathotep your god?
And we can chant and then maybe
Sacrifice a baby
Is Nyarlathotep your god?

Well baby give me your answer
Tell this necromancer
Is Nyarlathotep your god?
And we can chant and then maybe
Sacrifice a baby
Is Nyarlathotep your god?

Well baby give me your answer
Tell this necromancer
Is Nyarlathotep your god...
