As is made clear by the song The Call Of Ktulu on the second studio album Ride The Lightning (Studio Album), Metallica have some interest in the writing of HP Lovecraft. The lyrics of The Thing That Should Not Be seem to fit well with the HP Lovecraft Cthulhu mythos, including lines such as "Great old one" which may be a reference to the Great Old Ones often appearing in Lovecraft's works, "Hybrid children watch the sea, Pray for father, roaming free" which may refer to the people of Innsmouth (a key location in the Cthulhu Mythos) and "Out from ruins once possessed, Fallen city, living death" a possible reference to Cthulhu himself as he resides in R'lyeh (another key location in the Cthulhu Mythos).

Messenger of fear in sight Dark deception kills the light Hybrid children watch the sea Pray for father, roaming free Fearless wretch Insanity He watches Lurking beneath the sea Great old one Forbidden site He searches Hunter of the shadows is rising Immortal In madness you dwell Crawling chaos, underground Cult has summoned, twisted sound Out from ruins once possessed Fallen city, living death Fearless wretch Insanity He watches Lurking beneath the sea Timeless sleep Has been upset He awakens Hunter of the shadows is rising Immortal In madness you dwell Not dead which eternal lie Stranger eons death may die Drain you of your sanity Face the thing that should not be Fearless wretch Insanity He watches Lurking beneath the sea Great old one Forbidden site He searches Hunter of the shadows is rising Immortal In madness you dwell
