Al Azif

On a sun burned plain

Where the thousand years sand hid the ruins

Of the city of columns where

No man has ever lived

I stand in the middle of the circle of salt

I draw with my crow claw

The name of the ancients

Who are remembered only by the time

In the name of Nyarlathotep

I conjure Yog Sothoth

"The one who lives among shadows"

To show me the way

I tremble seeing how the eye of the moon

Uncovers pale stumps of the ancient city

Like claws of the gigantic corpse

Shining venomous glare of decay

I fall on my face, in the middle of the circle

I twist and twine in pain

Something stitched my bowels

Like oil, was poured into my bones

Heaven was covered by the misty glow

Stinking and cold - unimaginabily evil

"The one who has no name" noticed me

From behind the abyss of time and the angles of space...

I heard the hum of worms

And the flapping of millions of small wings

I know that my time is running out

Becuse "The one who has no name" leads me...

For my name is Abdul Alhazred

And I wrote down the names of unknown creatures

I will be cursed by nations and gods

As long as the human race thinks that it rules the world...
