The Testimony Of The Mad Arab

This is the testimony of all that I have seen,

And all that I have learned,

In those years that I have possessed the three seals of the Masshu.

This is my way

And no other!

Know then that I have trod all the zones, of the Gods. I have seen the unknown lands,

I have traveled beneath the seas, in search of the palace of our master

I have traveled among the stars, and trembled before the gods

The wolves carry my name

In their midnight speeches

That quit, subtle voice

Is summoning me from afar

A voice shouts into my ear

With unholy impatience

The weight of my soul will decide

It's final resting place.

I am weak and ill

And a great tiredness and exhaustion,

I am old and a sign hangs

In my breast like a dark lantern

And the gods grant thee death before the ancient ones rule the earth once more!

I have raised demons, and the death.

I have summoned the ghosts of my ancestors.

I have raised armies against the lands of the east.

I have found fear.

I have found the gate that leads me to the outside.

That leads me to the outside!

But now after one thousand and one-moons of the journey

I found the palace of my gods.

And I saw a thousand and one soul bleed to death

And I became one of them

And became one of them

AAAAAAAA!

The Maskim nips at my heels,

The Rabishu pulls at my hair,

Lamashta opens her dread jaws,

Azag-thot gloats blindly at his throne,

Kutulu raises his head and stares up

Through the veils of sunken Varloorni,

Up through the abyss, and fixes his stare upon me;

Wherefore I must with haste write this book lest my end comes sooner then I had prepared
