Chocolate Shoggoth Shake

July 1955,

It's so hot, unbearable record highs

Only one place to go

Time for a frosty treat from Eskimo Joe's

People come from all around for the best in town

You cant resist it, Tastes so fine, Flavors so divine

But the special of the house, The Chocolate Shake

Oh, it's to die for

When you come to the store, Joe greets you at the door

With a toothy grin and eyes that speak of sin

Cause in the blender...

The dark syrup is the key, the thing that makes them come to him

The masses know it's what they crave

The shake he offers everyday

Chocolate Shoggoth Shake

Back at home and in the cellar something hidden deep within

there he has the ancient dweller, harnassed now a slave for him

And he chops it into bits and feeds it to his patrons

pieces of the shoggoth in the pit

Little do the people know, what they eat consumes their soul

Ingesting this concoction, gestating evil's got them

Months pass, winter decends, soon to come to fruition

Deep down underground in vaulted tombs of night

The servant calls in his blasphemous rite

"Ia! Awaken now! My children return to your home!

Vacate your human vessels and emerge into this world!"

A sudden pain grips all the town

Screaming they all fall to the ground

Black ooze choking, their throats are bloating

their bodies, the young are eating

Crawling, vomiting, through every opening

the things are coming

Lifeless shell left behind, as they swarm across the countryside

Slithering through the night, black shapes of ancient might

twisting in strange contortions, countless eyes and sensing organs

Searching for a way back home, for the door to the vault below

To heed their masters call

"Teka-li-li!", they go!

Back at home and in the darkness somewhere hidden deep within

there are pits of ancient dwellers, harnessed they are slaves of Him.

And Joe, will sleep for countless years

Until the time is right again for the breeding of the shoggoths to begin.
