These cultists are all insane, and it’s established fact that the Great Old Ones do not care about them. They have cults of human followers, the “choir” with the “lips of liars” mentioned in the song.

Other notable old ones are: Nyarlahotep, The Crawling Chaos (who is the only Old One that cares about humanity: actively hating us and delighting in our misery) Shub-Niggurath, The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young Hastur the Unspeakable, the King in Yellow (said to be the personification of lies, for truth was invented as a weapon against Him) and of course the most famous, Cthulhu, The Sleeper of R'lyeh. Yog-sothoth is its name, said to be the Watcher at the Gates of Infinity, Both the Gate and Its Only Key. The most telling is the “thousand eyes”, as one of the mightiest Great Old Ones is said to be composed of thousands of eyes set in a protoplasmic mass. The song speaks of “blood” satellites, which would fit the description of some of them. But when the stars are right, they will return to claim the earth that was theirs when mankind was but a dream. What is known is that, through fate or intervention, they can only rarely interact with our reality now. It is often said that, just like we don’t care about the insects we crush while just moving around, so little do they care for us. Their thoughts are unintelligible to us, though their intelligence vastly surpasses ours. They are incomprehensible to humans, and while not malevolent per se, they cause great destruction by simply being incompatible with our reality. They are said to be so alien that merely glimpsing them can lead to madness. These entities were invented by writer H.P Lovecraft, pioneer of the Cosmic Horror genre. This song harkens to the Great Old Ones, beings beyond the dark gulfs of the stars.
