Just Words and a Tune

(parody of “Miss Atomic Bomb” by The Killers)

You were studying across the library

Delving into old letters, your face a poem just for me

I was new at school, the one with the goggle eyes

I never did transition: my Deep One clan was scandalized

I passed a note and you passed one back

We shared our books and almanacs

Became occult insomniacs

Miskatonic Blonde

Sneaking out to study Things from Beyond

Until the Great Old Ones respawn

Until the Great Old Ones respawn

Hunting gugs atop a nightgaunt

On a Kadath-spanning dream jaunt

Played tag with Shub-Niggurath’s Young

Until a new age has begun

Casting spells at night

Runes carved in a witch’s heart

All the words were nice

But the sacrifice was the hardest part

But then I felt your dagger buried deep in my back

My life was fading and I feared I’d miss the Old Ones attack

We were so marvelous, decoding Alhezred’s almanac

So we could kill the human race, swearing revenge

For our miserable lives

Maybe my plans were just a little much

To kill off everyone on Earth and see their bodies crushed, oh

We could be happy watching everything burn

Miskatonic Blonde

Sneaking out to study Things from Beyond

Until the Great Old Ones respawn

Until the Great Old Ones respawn

Hunting gugs atop a nightgaunt

On a Kadath-spanning dream jaunt

Played tag with Shub-Niggurath’s Young

Until a new age has begun

The ritual is over, and my eyes are dim

But I’m pleased to hear your profane shouted hymns

Miskatonic Blonde

You’re standing there

Glowing with sin

And the gates that you’ve opened

Have let them in (Miskatonic Blonde)

But I’m laying here

Cuz I got played

With my hot blood flowing

Dow-wn your blade

It feels just like your dagger buried deep in my back (such a tool)

My life has faded and I’m going to miss the Old Ones attack (and Cthulhu’s back, again)

An end so marvelous, foretold within an old almanac (and Nyarlathothep)

And end to all the human race, facing their deaths (Miskatonic Blonde)

As the world burns down

But will you survive (Maybe our plans were just a little much)

Did you win it all (To kill off everyone on Earth and see their bodies crushed, oh)
