Don’t Fear the Reaper

Whilst roaming 'round the palace

He hears the telltale sounds,

And so the fearsome Prince of Cult shouts out:

"Release the hounds!"

The chase now on, the game afoot,

With screams and flaming staff,

"Oh Yog-Sothoth! Your time is up!"

Echoes His manic laugh.

Then once the kettle's boiling,

And Reaper Tea is poured,

The pound cake cut, the sushi rolled, the cheese upon the board,

And Yog-Sothoth is rounded up

The trio dine outside,

The Outer God,

A loyal pup and

He, Lord of Fruit Flies.
