Eclipse of Serpents

Io!
Shafts of plague and pythoness gift
The blackness of Bast hast cometh unto us
Heiracosphinx! Slain
By judgement’s flaming sword
Canst thou see the blood of the Nile?
Iä!
Of all blights! 'Tis our sorry lot
To suffer black, night, and boils
Theban courage and Memphian lust
Thou darest stain with blood
Lo! The torment of the snake
Scythian blades — Jackal’s feet
Hail! The conquest of…
The Uncreated one
Open the book of Adapa
And behold the coming of plagues
Morbid philosopher
Behind the curtain of lies
Ave! Thou art greatest of fifty — Ave! Avenger
Ave! Thou art Greatest of fifty — Ave! Leviathan
