Eclipse of Serpents

"The pyramids themselves... have forgotten the names of their
Founders." - Thomas Fuller

Io!
Shafts of plague and pythoness gift
The blackness of Bast hast cometh unto us
Heiracosphinx! Slain
By judgment's flaming sword
Canst thou see the blood of the Nile?

I--!
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 fleet
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
