Two heralds dance as they gleam
Lighting a path to the Self
As a daemon blinking in the night
Algol opposes itself, united as one
As a watcher in the night
Coruscating daemon-light
Know the stars to know thyself
Eclipsing mysteries show thyself
A bridge traversing Self and cosmos
Angular transgression
The herald of the barrier
A messenger forming the formless

Slumber, watcher, till the spheres
Six and twenty thousand years
Have revolv’d, and I return
To the spot where now I burn
beneath the shadow of Sothis
rising waters conceal
that which is unseen
must flow into the light
when the dark withers by
cycles emerge anew
the end of eternity and
the beginning of infinity
the first stars gather
unhurried
the light of beginning fades
farther then forgotten
Slumber, watcher, till the spheres
Six and twenty thousand years
Have revolv’d, and I return
To the spot where now I burn

The Sidereal Messenger
09:59
|
|
||
A message from the stars .... many-angled
Reveal much that's hidden ... bound in darkness
Navigating northward ... hight Polaris
Unfold endless cycles ... bound by angles
|

Prelude to the five angles of the night
Let loose the sparks that breathe life
Visions cast into the night
Drawn from the stillness of the six
The hounds are loosed
Who see you in the darkness
Only he who knows the Angles
Would lurk beneath the threshold

Do not call up that which you
cannot put downe... a result
Apart from those outside
A cold wind springs to life... a horror
Y'ai 'ny'ngoh / yog-sothoth
H'ee-l'geb / f'ai throdog / Uaaah
Ogthred ai'f / Geb'l-ee'h
'Ngah'ng ai'n / Zhro
Bring forth self from its essential
saltes... a madness
Call forth self that cannot
be put downe.. a cataclysm
