This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Great Cthulhu
Ever the Warrior God
Of All the Old Ones
He is the Most Terrible
For it is His delight To slay and lay waste to everything
That lies beneath his taloned feet
And the very lust to conquer
What was once free
Drives Him onward across the Heavens and through the spheres
It was He and his Spawn
That defeated the Elder Things
Who had long possessed soverignty of this world
before he descended on his Gray and Leathern Wings
Through the Upper Gate opened by Yog Sothoth
On the walls of lost cities
And in the carvings of madmen
Who have glimpsed him in their dreams
Is his Image Delineated
Within a tomb protected by great seals
He lays in death
Under the weight of the dark waters of the deep
yet he dreams still
and in his dreams continues to rule this world
for his thoughts master the wills of lesser creatures
When the stars in their endless turnings
assume the angles of the same rays they shed down
in the primordial dawn of the world
then does R'lyeh rise upward so the House of Cthulu emerges from His watery prison
and he sends forth his will to those men
who are open to his influence
The Command to release the seals that bind his tomb
Always the stars
never remain in alignment long enough
for the enslaved men to reach distant R'leh before R'yleh sinks once more under the sea
severing the bond
between the will of Cthulhu
and the flesh of those he has enthralled
leaving them to wail in confusion and despair
upon the bosom of the vacant sea
Ever the Warrior God
Of All the Old Ones
He is the Most Terrible
For it is His delight To slay and lay waste to everything
That lies beneath his taloned feet
And the very lust to conquer
What was once free
Drives Him onward across the Heavens and through the spheres
It was He and his Spawn
That defeated the Elder Things
Who had long possessed soverignty of this world
before he descended on his Gray and Leathern Wings
Through the Upper Gate opened by Yog Sothoth
On the walls of lost cities
And in the carvings of madmen
Who have glimpsed him in their dreams
Is his Image Delineated
Within a tomb protected by great seals
He lays in death
Under the weight of the dark waters of the deep
yet he dreams still
and in his dreams continues to rule this world
for his thoughts master the wills of lesser creatures
When the stars in their endless turnings
assume the angles of the same rays they shed down
in the primordial dawn of the world
then does R'lyeh rise upward so the House of Cthulu emerges from His watery prison
and he sends forth his will to those men
who are open to his influence
The Command to release the seals that bind his tomb
Always the stars
never remain in alignment long enough
for the enslaved men to reach distant R'leh before R'yleh sinks once more under the sea
severing the bond
between the will of Cthulhu
and the flesh of those he has enthralled
leaving them to wail in confusion and despair
upon the bosom of the vacant sea

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
A strange, but perfectly fitting, departure from their egyptian theme.
