En honor al natalicio de Lovecraft: "The Dark Eternal Night" de Dream Theater, parte del Systematic Chaos, que hace referencia a Nyarlathotep, "el caos reptante". Citando a John Petrucci, autor de la letra, The Dark Eternal Night es "acerca de un faraón que ha regresado de su sueño eterno, ahora como un monstruo, a atormentar a un pueblo".
La letra es una adaptación indirecta del mismo texto de Nyarlathotep:
- The Dark Eternal Night:Through the stifling heat.
Underneath the pale green moon.
I burned with a thirst.
To seek things not yet seen.
Climbing endless stairs.
Leading to the choking room.
Eager to explore his most shocking mysteries.
- Lovecraft:"...through the stifling night and up the endless stairs into the choking room"
"I believe we felt something coming down from the greenish moon..."
"...I burned with eagerness to explore his uttermost mysteries. My friend said they were horrible and impressive beyond my most fevered imaginings; and what was thrown on a screen in the darkened room prophesied things none but Nyarlathotep dared prophesy, and in the sputter of his sparks there was taken from men that which had never been taken before yet which shewed only in the eyes. And I heard it hinted abroad that those who knew Nyarlathotep looked on sights which others saw not."
