Sulphur Aeon
The Scythe Of Cosmic Chaos
1. Cult of Starry Wisdom
I fix upon a whispering light...
A shimmering stone,
A gate of night.
With mesmerized eyes
I await his call,
Messenger of Father Azathoth
Pale faces align
In hypnotic trance.
Malevolent hands
Are being raised!
Voices soar through the eldritch halls
Of the cadaverous church.
Shine,
Trapezohedron!
Embrace me in thine glowing trance!
Bless me with thine arcana!
A crystalline gate to the stars...
Far from the Moon
And from Mars.
Ancient soil—deserts of Yuggoth
Herein reigns the race of the Mi-Go.
Shine,
Trapezohedron!
Embrace me in thine glowing trance!
Bless me with thine arcana!
Iä, Iä,
Nyarlathotep!
I yearn to be thine servant—
Speak through me!
Iä, Iä,
Nyarlathotep!
I call forth ye,
Oh thousand-faced god.
2. Yuggothian Spell
Windows closed,
The doors are sealed.
Scent of alcohol... and
Candles have been lit.
Midnight intoxication...
Writhing in terror,
Hallucinating...
In suicidal moan.
The words I spoke,
The verses I've read,
I reckon I invoked
This impending dread!
Haunting jewel—
Gleaming curse!
Primeval worship—
Yuggothian spell
Devouring fear
Numbs mind and soul.
Windows locked and nailed
And chimneys sealed.
Caught within the terrifying grip of night...
Left without protecting bulbs of light.
Numbed by thunder, lightning strikes.
It seizes hold of my weak human mind.
Haunting jewel—
Gleaming curse!
Primeval worship—
Yuggothian spell
Blurred visions of
Unimaginable sights.
Existences and worlds
Left untold!
Light is dark and
Darkness is light!
I remember Yuggoth
I remember the ultimate void
Azathoth,
Have mercy!
Yog-Sothoth,
Save me!
I see their priests and candlelit altars
Preying on my humble human soul...
Iä... ngai... ygg! I can see it...
Winds of hell,
Titanium cloud
Black wings,
The three-lobed eye.
Nyarlathotep...
3. The Summoning of Nyarlathotep
Eater of souls, devourer of sanity
I'm calling thee!
Crawling chaos,
Thy name shall be revealed
Faceless father, ultimate void,
I am calling thee!
Delightfully wicked aristocrat
From the stars
Nyarlathotep!
Thrice invoked.
Nyarlathotep!
Circle closed.
Nyarlathotep!
Rise in our seal.
Ai!
Evil be performed in thy name.
Stalker of the stars,
Bringer of death to all!
Tear down
This feeble universe!
Black pharaoh
Reveal to us thy dreaded mysteries!
Nyarlathotep!
Sweet poison divine.
Nyarlathotep!
Evil incarnate.
Madness lurks
Behind thine faceless void.
Eldritch whistling from the cosmic gates...
Trickster, messenger,
Necromancer
Thee who walketh among mortal men,
Revered by those who know thine path.
Thee who walketh among the gods,
Feared by those who know thine intent.
Madness, corruption—rise
Chaos that creeps—divine
Liar—keeper of mysteries.
4. Veneration of the Lunar Orb
A world in cosmic solitude,
Farthest from what is called sun.
Beyond astrology and myth!
From star-crusted black voids,
Devouring throat of chaos.
Within constellations
Yet unknown,
Beyond the starlit
Rings of Saturnus!
Veneration of the lunar orb
Perpetual cycles of
Adoration
Veneration of the lunar orb
An ancient law not to perturb.
Across Cyclopean bridges...
Mesmerizing rivers of pitch.
Through endless caverns
Seamed with glowing lichen.
Veneration of the lunar orb
Perpetual cycles of
Adoration
Veneration of the lunar orb
An ancient law not to perturb.
Armed remnants
Of battles passed,
In thrall of a pale red moon
That orbits this
Gloomy world...
Solely lit by its eerie glow.
Swift slayers dwell in Yuggothian caves...
In sacrificial awe to their moon.
Total subjugation
Of the soul and the flesh
Draw the blade—
Kill for the Moon
5. Sinister Sea Sabbath
Submerge to their temples,
All ye children of the sea
Sinister sea sabbath!
Bow to their altars,
All ye children of the sea
Sinister sea sabbath!
A dreadful gathering, a nautic spectacle.
Adoration of the Old Ones beneath the surface.
Find absolution in eldritch temples below.
Abyssopelagial glow—amphibian race
Drawn down by their alluring grace.
Roars of Dagon echo
Through lifeless ears!
Mesmerized,
Obedient to the deep, submerge to their temples.
Blood for their altars!
Dawn has set, silence on blood-soaked shores
Eerie summonings still resound from dying throats
Adoration of the Old Ones, lurking in the deep
Absolution is granted in eerie temples below!
Descent into the deep blue sphere.
Subjugation—the ultimate gods are here!
Deep Ones escort the reborn
Evolution reversed
Mesmerized,
Obedient to the deep. Submerged to their temples.
Blood for their
Altars!
Deny all false idols,
All ye children of the sea
Sinister sea sabbath!
Dare speak their names,
All ye children of the sea
Sinister sea sabbath!
6. The Oneironaut - Haunting Visions Within the Starlit Chambers of Seven Gates
Amidst the deserts of Roba El Khaliyeh,
Beneath the fallen towers of Irem,
In titan caverns
Underneath the desert sand
There dwelleth I'thakuah
The primordial witch.
Antediluvian
Wisdom and madness,
Maniacal rancour
Within ancient black eyes
Mock her guise,
Flee from her curse!
Oneironaut!
Kneel before the seven gates.
Choose your vessel,
The soul leaves the flesh.
Oneironaut!
Kneel before the seven gates.
Choose your vessel,
And enter the gate.
Oneironaut...
Into the heart of the maze
Along the leftmost walls
Lieth the grand starlit chamber of seven gates
A dome painted in blue, pigmented with lapis lazuli
Bejeweled constellations of stars
Among the night sky
Oneironaut!
Travel through the seven gates.
The act of lucid dreaming
Is revealed.
Oneironaut!
Traveler in time and space
Choose your vessel and
Open the gate!
The first portal
Is leading to the Plateau of Leng,
Whilst the second portal
Leads to the City of Heights...
The third portal
Opens to sunken R'lyeh...
Travel to Yuggoth
By entering the fourth...
The fifth gate
Opens to sunken Atlantis...
Enter unknown Kadath
Through the sixth gate,
And the seventh
Leads to the Temple of Albion.
Oneironaut!
Travel through the seven gates!
Oneironaut!
Enter the gate!
7. Lungs into Gills
Drawn by a desolate glow...
Eerie lights from temples below...
Pale dim shades of cities lost,
Ancient idols reveal the host.
Transcending the void
Of the deepest black sea,
Consciousness fades
And life's drawn
From the flesh!
Transformation
Of lungs into gills
Metamorphosis
Of lungs into gills
Destinies intertwine in endless strife...
Pitiful dreams of evolution's crown.
Mingled in chaos to the ends of life,
Whilst gaping chasms see me drown!
Iä Iä!
Abyssal choirs resound...
Iä Iä!
Calls of worship unbound...
Body and soul in turmoil and revolt
Transformation of lungs into gills
Committed forever to the one so old!
Metamorphosis of lungs into gills
Wide awake as waters flood the breathless void...
Abyssal choirs
Resound!
Iä Iä! Calls of worship unbound...
Iä Iä! Blessed be thou who dreams!
Iä Iä! Blood and soul given to thee!
As the world trembles
In cataclysmic decay...
Seeking comfort in the
Cold caliginous deep.
Settling within murky
Green chambers of stone...
Life eternal
In the ancient
Halls of R'lyeh!
8. Thou Shalt Not Speak His Name
Chaos, entropy
Enlighting visions from the stars.
Doom, corruption
Trauma of this feeble globe.
Shifting parallel dimensions,
Minds drift afar...
Sinister whispers
Breath from beyond.
Called throughout worlds
By wisdom so old
Entangled in fear
Of what lurks
Behind the veils.
Chaos, entropy
Enlighting visions from the stars.
Doom, corruption
Trauma of this feeble globe.
Boundless force on black cosmic throne
Blind, bereft of mind.
Blasphemy abominate!
Idiot divinity,
Death and creation incarnate!
Monotonous whining
Of accursed flutes...
Thou shalt not speak his name,
Daemon sultan!
He, who gnaws hungrily
In lightless chambers...
Seething palace
Beyond time and space.
Thou shalt not speak his name,
Daemon sultan!
Calculating the structures
Of space and time.
What rises into being
Shell be unmade.
Spheres shatter...
Myriads of worlds undone...
As his flute falls
To silence eternally...
It is he, who holdeth the Sceptre of Obliteration.
It is he, who wieldeth the Scythe of Cosmic Chaos!
