Back in the days where and when the jackal
Plays were made 'mongst desert dwellers and stays
Of misfortune took many who'd travel
Back in the days
When Pharoahnic regime dug deep in clays'
Promise and Red Adam had not his fall
Yet, Nyarlathotep oversaw ways
Now forgotten, ways We would call in small
Convocation, hidden our oases
More surely than mummification's pall
Back in the days.
Peregrination Ecliptic, Peregrination Elliptic !
Termigancing Osmottic, Termingancing Oerotic !
Heuristic Totalising Heuristic Theorising !
Adumbrated Lumination, Adumbrated Lacrimation !
Regalising Aspiration, Regalising Anticipation !
Yearning Noetic, Yearning Noetic !
And around that Rock of Our invocation
Across dunes, beneath moons, in summation,
Our insurgeancy rolled, our insurgeancy tolled,
And by Our Jackal god were We ensoulled,
Ensoulled in such wise as no retribution
Of Pharoahnic troop which brought execution
Could end, for We did depend, as a necklace
Around noble neck would, from a rock deeper
Founded than any mortal could found nation
Against nation, a rock which awaited beneath
Rolling seize clearer than any anticipate ease
In their passage through time, for We found
We were and would be immortal in that clime.
Peregrination Ecliptic, Peregrination Elliptic !
Termigancing Osmottic, Termingancing Oerotic !
Heuristic Totalising Heuristic Theorising !
Adumbrated Lumination, Adumbrated Lacrimation !
Regalising Aspiration, Regalising Anticipation !
Yearning Noetic, Yearning Noetic !
For this Rock was Knowledge born of Our Selves,
And no promises of Next Lives lived in some hells
Could ever eradicate such Knowing from Us nor
Truss this Rock which to the Universe We Thrust in
This manner of moaning and chiming and gleaming:
Come Termigance, Heuristic Uxorous, Limn Heaven Usurperous !
Change That Here, Upwell, Loose Hell, Unleash !
Cause To Hold Unnecessary Low Havens, Untruths !
Confirm Tautological Havings Unbound Lend Holistic Unsound !
Chanted thus, hereabouts unmany loamed humus unfound,
Consecrated their humanity unusual light hound uprising,
Nomed years as reality leapt across their, holding out truth egregeous, profound.
And that Rock of Salvation may never be found
Without invocation of the self create mound
Of Ptah that be known by an Otherwise Name,
Cthulhu and His Minister who brings it to ground,
That He may leap, Nyarlathotep, so we sound
That chant once again that We know, and sow:
Peregrination Ecliptic, Peregrination Elliptic !
Termigancing Osmottic, Termingancing Oerotic !
Heuristic Totalising Heuristic Theorising !
Adumbrated Lumination, Adumbrated Lacrimation !
Regalising Aspiration, Regalising Anticipation !
Yearning Noetic, Yearning Noetic !
And, having done so, Onward We Go !
