1. Mighty Triumphant Return
The Ancient Ones wert...
The Ancient Ones art...
The Ancient Ones shall be...
The Ancient Ones wert...
The Ancient Ones art...
The Ancient Ones shall be...
Out of the earthly plane – They rule
They remain waiting to cross the big Gate
NYARLATHOTEP will pronounce the word...
The Great Old Ones shall rise
And CTHULHU with his legions
Will return to the earth
And his Kingdom shall last eternally...
At the beginning of time, in HAOSTOSH
They lied in absolute equilibrium
Until the first race of mortal men appeared...
They profaned and committed barbarous deeds
So the Gods punished them for the sacrilege...
HASTUR... the voice of the Ancient Ones – avenger and destructor
Who inhabits within the dark cosmic spaces said it...:
"The Old Ones will rule the World in all their magnificent splendour..."
Out of the earthly plane – They rule
They remain waiting to cross the big Gate
NYARLATHOTEP will pronounce the word...
The Great Old Ones shall rise
And CTHULHU with his legions
Will return to the earth
And his Kingdom shall last eternally...
Listen! Oh you mortals! The Great Sign!
Since men will render wild beings
And will blaspheme to those who destroyed them forever!!!
At the beginning of time, in HAOSTOSH
They lied in absolute equilibrium
Until the first race of mortal men appeared...
They profaned and committed barbarous deeds
So the Gods punished them for the sacrilege...
2. Valley Of The Impaled
...I expect for the arrival of my beloved Fullmoon
She... who inspires me for my bloody battle
Against all my enemies
I trace the five pointed star,
The four elements symbol, the pentagram
And consume my ritual
I evoke the greatest NIFELHEIM deities
When HECATE lays in the heavenly sky
And summon my deepest thoughts in darkness
While I walk through the mystic fog
The Fullmoon Night is close,
The night of the Impaled
They shall be Impaled...
They shall be Impaled...
They shall be Impaled...!!!
"... and with his dark dress He came down riding on his black horse,
holding a fearsome mallet in his hands...
Heads – smashed without taking a breath
Nobody escaped – from the strength of his malevolent hatred
None christian race, children, women, or elder would run away from the sacrifice
Thousands – He shattered...
...their bodies would be prepared to be pierced by pointed stakes"
...In several Fullmoon nights I carried out my sacrifices.
Today, they adorn the Valley of The Impaled...
3. Evil Sorcerers
Race of men – somewhere east beyond the mountains – Evil Rites
Spoken in an unknown tongue – charms chanted on the tops of temple
Built to reach the deepest cavities of HADES – great delight at their shrines...
Of loathsomeness! – lands of farmers ravaged by evil spells
Scorched black by flame and burning embers that descend from the sky
The Sign that they have been there, where the earth is black and charred
And where nothing grows or lasts – fire comes from the heavens
Panic and terror among the people – terrible cries yelled upon their gods to appear...

5. Outside Dwellers
The hour was night... when the star called my attention
I hadn't seen it before... since it was covered by a large rug
Finally, I saw it was a star of five points of big size
Decorated with ornamental designs... kind of cabalistic drawing!
Then, I took a chalk and copied carefully the whole design
I sat within it and expected something to happened...
So I recalled invocation rituals but nothing took place...
...several minutes later I remembered the words and spoke them gravely...:
"PH'NGLUI MGLWINAFH CTHULHU R'LYEH WGAH'NAGL FHTAGN..."
Instantly, the most astonishing phenomenon occurred...:
"I found myself looking upon a nocturnal landscape...
...desert vegetation... sandy rocks... the place was spare-of caverns... snow capped mountains
...a landscape that couldn't have been found anywhere..."
Life seemed to be going on within this weird aliens world...
Rattlesnake crawling...
Sharp-eyed hawk soaring overhead...
The Gila monster!
In the meanwhile, bats came out of the caverns' mouth
... then, a kind of human being made its appearance...:
"Rough of skin – emaciated...
abnormally eyes and ears...
ribs showing through its skin..
Outside Dwellers!!!..."
Little by little an enormous creature appeared... at first a tentacle, then another – half a dozen!
An eldritch head showed dimly...:
Horror!...ghastly travesty head
Neckless body... mass of jelly flesh!
Horror!...ghastly travesty head
Neckless body... mass of jelly flesh!
"I realised the thing had a great perception
for it saw me from the beginning, fixed its eyes
upon me and began to move rapidly towards me
through the darkening landscape... total paralysis...
was this the ultimate illusion...?"
...Little by little an enormous creature appeared... at first a tentacle, then another – half a

6. Threshold Into The Unknown
... long time ago, before man and even the cosmos was created
a battle between the forces of "light" and "darkness" took place...
The Ancient Ones, led by MUMMU TIAMAT and ABSU
And the Elder Gods, led by the warrior MARDUK, son of the Sa God ENKI...
...This last one won the Battle
...therefore, the cosmos was created from the slain Serpent's body,
and man, was created from the blood of the slain commander of the Ancient Army, KINGU, thereby...
...making man a descendent
of the "Enemy's Blood" as well as the "breath" of the Elder Gods...
However, despite the identity of the victor is clear,
The Ancient Ones are there, lying in wait at every man's door
7. Enter The Gate Of Death
Upon the road whence no return, where bowls of clay are heaped upon the Altar
To the Land of Queen ERESHKIGAL, where sleeps the dread CTHULHU, I set forth!
NINNGHIZHIDDA! Serpent of the Deep! NINNGHIZHIDDA!
Horned Serpent of the Land of CUTHA...
NINNGHIZHIDDA! Plumed Serpent of the Black Earth
Open the Door that I may enter!
I will raise up the Dead! I will cause
The Dead to rise and devour the living...
Open the Gate!
[ERESHKIGAL:]
Go, watcher of the Gate. Go, NINNGHIZHIDDA, open the Gate!
[SORCERER:]
NETI! Loose the bolt from the hatch and let darkness fall upon me!
Dark waters... Rise and carry me to the Realms of the Night!
[WATCHER OF THE GATE:]
If that is thy will, I shall allow Thee to... Enter!...
...into the Darkly Shinning World where the ABSU lies in Dark Waters and CTHULHU sleeps and dreams,
the Abyss that lies beneath the World, reached by a descending Ladder that has Seven Steps,
reached by a descending Pathway that has Seven Gates, where is established
the Throne of the Most Evil and Fatal Force, for from the cavities of the World leaps forth the
Evil Daemon!
Enter the Gate of the Dead!
I will raise up the Dead! I will cause
The Dead to rise and devour the living...
Open the Gate!
[ERESHKIGAL:]
Go, watcher of the Gate. Go, NINNGHIZHIDDA, open the Gate!
[SORCERER:]
NETI! Loose the bolt from the hatch and let darkness fall upon me!
Dark waters... Rise and carry me to the Realms of the Night!
[WATCHER OF THE GATE:]
If that is thy will, I shall allow Thee to... Enter!...
8. Beyond The Mystical Portal Of Madness
Condemned to perish – dismal spiritual imprudence
Emerging to cross the passage – entering the evil domain of GANZIR
Gatewatcher – invoked by conjuration...
BARRA MASS SSARATU! BARRA!
Daemonic forces – draining life
Another dimension – astral horror!
"Beyond the mystic portal of madness
The ethereal void...
Shall remain!"
Entrance to the ABSU... obstructed!
To pass the Vortex... forbidden!
Power gained... to absorb energy!
Key of the infernal world... obtained!
"Beyond the mystic portal of madness
Thousands of warrior demons
Wait for mortal souls to devour...
Eternally!"

10. Summoning The Ancient Ones
For they dwell beyond the Gate
They have to be summoned
When MARDUK's not watchful
And sleeps,
When he has no power
And the Great Bear hangs
From its tail...
TIAMAT_s restless!
Preparing the bowl of TIAMAT
The shattered bowl of the Sages
Then, the DUR of INDUR
The lost bowl
Summoning the FIRIK of GID
And the lady SHAKUGUKU
The Queen of the cauldron... ENKI's afraid!
Reciting the conjuration IA ADU EN I
And building the fire therein
Calling GBL when I dost
After his manner and form
Then, may I rise thine Dagger
Summoning the assistance of NINKHARSAG
The horned Queen NINKASZKI
And NINNGHIZHIDDA, the Queen of magic Wand
When I have accomplished this and the proper sacrifice is made
I call whichsoever of the offspring I mayest after opening the Gate
"I set the time of the closing of the Gate
And the return of the spirit therein
I remain there, waiting until the
Spirit comes back and the Gate gets closed..."
I Summon Thee, Ancient Ones!
HUMWAWA appears, Lord of abominations of the south winds
PAZUZU, his brother, Lord of all fevers and plagues, Dark Angel of the four wings
Calling upon AZAG-THOTH, he is Lord of Chaos, rendered sightless in the Battle
Worshipping CTHULHU, the Sleeping Lord, the very Fire of the Earth!
The times for the sacrifice are the same times as the sleeping of MARDUK
...When he joins with the Abominations of the sky, TIAMAT'll once more rule the earth!!!
Preparing the bowl of TIAMAT
The shattered bowl of the Sages
Then, the DUR of INDUR
The lost bowl
