Question for Ice and Fire fans

(Don't worry, no spoilers.)


I've just started re-reading 'A Feast for Crows'. The first chapter tells us quite about the religion of the Iron Men and their 'Drowned God'.

Consider this common prayer to the Drowned God:
"What is dead can never die, but rises again, harder and stronger." That's not too different from "That is not dead which can eternal lie."


Consider that the sigil of House Greyjoy is a giant tentacled beast that lives in the ocean.


Does anyone else think that the Drowned God is Cthulhu...?
