Dream No More Lyrics
Lies dreaming in death
He sleeps under cosmos shaking
Stars granting his breath
All horrors arrive
He wakes giving Earth it's bleeding
Pure madness alive
And he blinds your soul
And he loathes you
And reclaims it all
Can't look away
You turn to stone
Madness, they say
Cthulhu awaken
Inhaling black skies
He shakes with a torture burning
All lost in his eyes
And he blinds your soul
And he loathes you
And reclaims it all
Can't look away
You turn to stone
Madness, they say
Cthulhu awaken
Can't look away
You turn to stone
Madness, they say
Seething damnation
Cthulhu awaken
(Wake) Winged Salvation
Death by creation
Cthulhu awaken
(Wake) Dreaming no more
Cthulhu awaken
(Wake) Dreaming no more
(Wake) Dreaming no more
This is third time Metallica has looked to H.P. Lovecraft for inspiration. The first was Call of Ktulu on Ride the Lighting and the second as The Thing That Should Not Be on Master of Puppets. For those that might not be familiar, Cthulhu is one of "The Great Old Ones," star-spanning beings far more powerful than Gods. Cthulhu is a being who brings death and insanity (as alluded to in the lyrics), worshiped by dark cultists who want to bring about the end of worlds and revel in the agony and chaos Cthulhu brings.
He's probably super fun at parties.
@GiveMeHam Actually, it is the Fourth time, as All Nightmare Long, from Death Magnetic, which was about the Hounds of Tindalos. Said creatures were only inspired by Lovecraft, as they were featured in the eponymous short story written by Frank Belknap Long.

The video of Metallica's Dream No More seems to be influenced by Faith No More, if you look at the outfit of Faith No More in 2015..
Some more HP Lovecraft.
