With all the rancorous debate over “Christmas” versus “Holiday, I felt we needed to regain some appropriate spirit, something to remind us what the season is all about…
(A single light pierces the darkness. The single spot light is carefully adjusted, leaving a patch of light swimming in a sea of dark infinity. The Grumpy Celt trots onto stage, standing in the light)
(Grumpy proceeds to sing at the top of his lungs, somehow doing both voices at once…)
Look to the sky, way up on high
There in the night stars are now right.
Eons have passed: now then at last
Prison walls break, Old Ones awake!
They will return: mankind will learn
New kinds of fear when they are here.
They will reclaim all in their name;
Hopes turn to black when they come back.
Ignorant fools, mankind now rules
Where they ruled then: it's theirs again
Stars brightly burning, boiling and churning
Bode a returning season of doom
Scary scary scary scary solstice
Very very very scary solstice
Up from the sea, from underground
Down from the sky, they're all around
They will return: mankind will learn
New kinds of fear when they are here
Look to the sky, way up on high
There in the night stars are now right.
Eons have passed: now then at last
Prison walls break, Old Ones awake!
Madness will reign, terror and pain
Woes without end where they extend.
Ignorant fools, mankind now rules
Where they ruled then: it's theirs again
Stars brightly burning, boiling and churning
Bode a returning season of doom
Scary scary scary scary solstice
Very very very scary solstice
Up from the sea, from underground
Down from the sky, they're all around.
Fear
Look to the sky, way up on high
There in the night stars now are right
They will return.
Thank you.
(Grumpy bows… and is promptly devoured by things of unimaginable imagination from the utter darkness.)
