Descent into Madness
Cthulhu, I call you
Human, I hear you call my name
Come, I need you
I am the cold of my darkness
I need your cold
and the warmth of my light
I need your warmth
I surround you and all that is
Surround all that I am
My body is dark as the soul you seek
I have already darkened
My skin is a poison that does not kill
I am already poisoned
It only burns the truth of yourself
It will end my suffering
My limbs reach out for you
I await with open arms
They help me swim with the current
Please, swim to me
Only to grasp at your hope of nothing
Can you not feel my devotion?
My mind holds all that I am to you
You are my answer
Wisdom, knowledge, understanding
I need your everything
You cannot hope to control me
I will not
I will only burn madness into you
That is my hope
Escalating your fall to the depths
Descending into madness is what I am
The deep goes on endlessly
I have reached the end
Far beyond anything from you
That is what I need
Why do you call for your demise?
Because I know the truth
I do not understand you
It matters not
I am beyond your grasp
You cannot be
I am beyond your comprehension
I will understand
What do you seek from me?
You know what I seek
Little one what do you wish for?
Death
Madness and the silence of death
I pray
I am coming, I swim to you
And I to you
From the dark water below
I await
Do you desire peace from me?
Yes
Do you desire to escape from this life?
Yes
Beware of what you wish for
I regret nothing
It might not be what you seek
I do not care
I can grant you your end
Please take me away
But there is a price to this
What is it?
Your life will end with another
I do not understand
When your life ends near me
Yes, with you
Once again you will be reborn
Reborn?
By my side as my other half
I will be with you
You will find only the deep
The peaceful silence of the deep
The deep will swallow us both
I wait with great impatience
And the currents will take us away
As far away as you can take me
Floating with no thought or desire
I am no longer myself
Do you still wish for this death?
Yes…I wish to be with you forever
Little one, I hold you now
I hold you
Close your eyes and take a breath
I see nothing
It will be your last, close them now
Only darkness
Think of nothing, hear only my voice
Yes
I am Cthulhu, being of old
I am Cthulhu, being of new
What were you, is now us
You are no longer old but new
Fresh and innocent as it can be
Ready to live again by me for me
Swim now by my side
You are no longer something
But the thought of anything
Sleep in peace my little one
We feel the waves all around me
We now understand the truth
We are not one but two
No longer alone but together
We finally feel the peace
Of the deep once again.
