THE ULTIMATE INCANTATION

by ALLEN MACKEY

(As related by an unknown dead wizard through a medium)

The still night spread across the land


May Eve under the Sign of the Ram
Draw forth blood to unlock the Gates
In the Name of the Messenger – Nyarlathotep!

Cold fire, witch light


Unveil to me thy blackened sight
Hideous shapes, insanity
Reveal yourselves unto me
Living Darkness, opaque and pure
Spilled blood is the lure
Sacrificial immolation
Frozen moment, complete isolation
Spells to summon and succumb
Messenger of the Ancient Ones!

Caught in a web of nightmare


Lords of the Dead Realms
Dancing mindlessly
Do not speak the Name–
THE BLIND IDIOT GOD!
Rend the entrails of Destiny
Devour the deities of old
Descend the Outer Spheres
That I may conquer what is mine!

Life beyond death, an immortal charade


Times becomes as one when all color fades
Leaving this world that was once my own!
