[ Part I - Of Saurian Entombment ]

Subterranean Labyrinths of Catacombs
We Hath Crawled To Gather in this Lit
Hall Of Proportion
Which Few See
Along Black
Tier after Tier of Carven Painted Sacrophagi
Each in a Niche in the Stone
The Mounted Rising Up
To Be Lost in the Above
Thousands of Masks
Stare Upon Us
We Who are Futile and Insignificant
By This Vast of the Dead

[ Part IV - ]

I knew they were
so remote were these desert ruins
Crumbling and inarticulate the of
its walls was
Nearly by the sands of the uncounted ages
It must have been thus the first stones of
were laid
And the of Babylon unbaked
spoke from the age worn stones
This desolate survivor of the
This crumbling antidiluvial
Of the Eldest

Only the brooding desert Gods
Knew what really took here
What struggles and bloodshed
Awoke some throng of condemned spirits
And broke the silence of these crumbled
Time ravaged remains these night ruins
Of some vanguished and buried Temple of

But as the wind diad away
the desert rim rose the
Blazing edge of the sun
Which in my fevered
I swore that from some remote there came a
Great of metal
Like a Bronze gate
Clanging whose reverberations swelled out
To hail the rising Sun as Memnon in
the banks of the Nile

[This four-part epic is a tale very much inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, and to a lesser degree, Robert E. Howard. It tills the story of a rebellions Serpent cult who are plotting to overthrow Pharonic rule. They are attempting to raise the spirits of the ancient dead, to barness thei arcane knowledge and build an army of undead legions. The story takes place within the subterranean main ch.mber of the crypts of mummified reptiles (true enough, archaeologists have indeed unearthed entire necropolises containing thousand of mummified crocodiles, serpents, ancient Nile monitor lizards, and various other animals that were worshiped as personifications of the gods they represented). Within these dark and bloodstained halls are not only the remains of three millenia of generations of priests and worshippers, but also the mummified corpses of all manner of glorified reptilian deities. The leader of these rebels is standing in the midst of this vast array of Saurian entombment, inciting insurrection and preparing for some sort of violent revolution. Their ill-fated sedition comes to naught, however, when their temple is destroyed and they are all slain in a catastrophic violent climax. this is perhaps divine intervention and retribution by the Sun god, Ra, or perhaps military action by the armies of the Pharaoh (who is a worshipper of Ra) putting down a violent rebellion, or merely the indiscriminate vengeance of the undead that the conspirators were seeking to enslave, is unclear. The passage that tells of the descruction and demise of the rebel fiends is reminiscent of the magickal/religious ceremony in The Book of Overthrowing Apep, in which the terrible monster serpent Apep is forever crushed by the Sun god, Ra, nver to rise up again. In the aftermath, all that is left of the Temple, the Serpent Cult and their subterranean catacombs of the tombs is a mass of rubble and forgotten ruins which are eventually covered over by the sands of time, explainined in a passage that borrows quite literally from The Nameless City by H.P. Lovecraft.]
