The strangest rumblings, underground
That old crow Titus, he knows the sound
Three thousand miles, across the sea
Something stirring, the legions deep!
Cthulhu rises from his grave
The Lord of R'lyeh lives again
That not dead, eternal lie
And with strange eons, even death may die!
Once saw the horror, made from clay
And cherished madness, ´til this dark day
Now after a million, sleeping years
We all shall realise, our deepest fears
A shape immortal, a dreaming god
Tentacled horror, raise pseudopod
And ive the hail, dark rage unfurled
Servants of Chaos - to take the worlds!
A sunken city beneath the waves
A hungry horror - destruction craves
A Strange dimension, an outer dark
Ye gods of evil, this power hark
Upon the surface, Cthulhu rise
And once acknowledged, the fear dies
Through Arkham madness, and lunacy
In gibbous frenzy - we are free!
5. Dagon's Bell
Grey sombre bell
Tolling weird foglight
Follow to dwell
In the weeds of her caress
Gold in her hair
The priestess is calling
In darkness she glows
In dark spectral bethel
Submarine churches
Order esoteric
Mother Hydra´s spell
Coiling in old father Dagon´s Bell
My body bursts and swells
in unknown calling
Transformed into
Oily wrath of the sea
Submarine churches
Order esoteric
Mother Hydra´s spell
Coiling in old father Dagon´s bell
10. Crom's Mountain
I have lived a varied life but never gave
Quarter to any man, nor been a slave
Made many journeys from my homeland
Now, across the border of death I stand
Lightning strikes!
Biting through mist and shadow, Raven's wings!
Beat darkly in the gloom, Grim corpses!
Surround him on his iron throne
A heavy hand! Hammers down my doom!
On Crom's Mountain!
I was a mere boy, when as a man I stood
To repel invaders from our land of woods
I cleaved many a skull, before my sixteenth year
A long and bloody path has brought me here
YE SHALL BE JUDGED MORTALS!
I grant thee a boon now warrior stand,
To rejoin the world of men,
To venture forth in the realm beyond,
To reap more souls for Mount Crom.
Your passion be fire, and your will be ice
I give you your strength and that will suffice
Trust not women, nor wizards, nor gods
Never give up, whatever the odds
CROM HAS SPOKEN
And so, I was born again, born on the battlefield, son of a blacksmith!
So Crom did grant my fate to the Steadfast Ones
Eternal Lord of Mist
To have my name bound in their iron book
Was yet to be my heritage
I'm Alive!
...Et sous le silence d'une lune blafarde, j'ai fermé les yeux sur un étrange horizon...
...I know not why my dreams were so wild that night But ere, the waning and fantastically gibbous moon had risen far above the eastern plain. I was awake in a cold perspiration determinate to sleep no more...
Then suddenly I saw it... I think I went mad then.
The end is near. I hear a noise at the door, as of some immense slippery body lumbering against it. It shall not find me. God, that hand! The window! The window!
2. Le Témoignage de Randolph Carter
La dalle une fois enlevée, une sombre ouverture se révéla, d'où s'échappèrent des gaz et des miasmes si nauséabonds que saisis d'horreur, nous bondîmes en arrière [...]
Dans le silence de cette cité de la mort, blanche et déserte, mon esprit concevait les plus horribles fantaisies, les plus horribles illusions. Tandis que les tombeaux et les monolithes bizarres semblaient s'imprégner d'une personnalité hideuse [...]
Nor is it to be thought than man is either the oldest or the last of earth's masters [...]
H.P. Lovecraft -1928-
Yog-Sothoth connaît la porte,
Yog-Sothoth est la porte
Yog-Sothoth est la clé et le gardien de la porte
Passé, présent, futur, tous sont un en Yog-Sothoth
...Negotium perambulans in tenebris...
Wilbur! , ton père vengera ta triste mort,
Les anciens, ton frère et ceux du dehors!
Et, quand sur le haut de la colline,
Les cris de ton frère retentiront.......
5. The Other Gods
''The moon is dark, and the gods dance in the night;
there is terror in the sky, for upon the moon hath sunk an eclipse foretold in no books of men or of earth's gods... There is unknown magic on Hatheg-Kla, for the screams of the frightened gods have turned to laughter, and the slopes of ice shoot up endlessly into the black heavens wither I am plunging...
Hey! Hey! At last! In the dim light I behold the gods of earth!''

2. The Haunter of the Dark
I see things I never knew before
Other worlds and other galaxies
The lightning seems dark,
The darkness seems light...
I have seen the dark universe yawning
Were the black planets roll without aim-
Were they roll in their horror unheeded,
Without knowledge or lustre or name
Sense of distance gone
Far is near and near is far
No light- No glass- That tower- Window!
I am it and it is I...
I see it - coming here - hell wind - titan blue - black wings - Yog-Sothoth save me! (Azathoth have mercy)
Ô! , Palpables ténèbres, infini tombeau où mes pensées s'égarent!
Ô! , Insondables abysses, où le Chaos défait le néant,
Faîtes que mon âme perdue, puisse dans vos secrets jeter un regard
Et fuir par le rêve cette vie qui me ment...
Et toi, stupide aveugle tu me laisses seul!
Pourtant je suis le poète maudit qui chante tes louanges.
Ô, Infâme tragédie déchirant mon linceul!
Mais un jour, Azathoth, le Chaos, ton royaume
S'étendra comme jadis : Folie, Ténèbres et Mort!
5. L'Appel de Cthulhu
''That is not dead wich eternal lie,
and with some strange aeons even death may die.'' A. Al Azred
''...In the elder time chosen men had talked with the entombed Old Ones in dreams, but the great stone city R'lyeh, had sunk beneath the waves, and the deep waters.(...)
... But memory never died, and the city would rise again when the stars were right.
Then came out of the earth the black spirits of earth, mouldy and shadowy, and full of dim rumours pick(ed) up in caverns beneath forgotten sea-bottoms... ''
Ô Cthulhu!
6. Night Gaunts
Out of what crypt they crawl, I cannot tell,
But every night I see the rubbery things,
Black, horned, and slender, with membranous wings,
And tails that bear the bifid barb of hell.
They come in legions on the north wind's swell,
With obscene clutch that titillates and stings,
Snatching me off on monstrous voyagings
To grey worlds hidden deep in nightmare's well.
Over the jagged peaks of Thok they sweep,
Heedless of all the cries I try to make,
And down the nether pits to that foul lake
Were the puffed shoggoths splash in doubtful sleep.
But oh! If only they would make some sound ,
Or wear a face where faces should be found!
H.P. Lovecraft
From Fungi from Yuggoth (XX)
8. La Pierre Noire
De noires créatures des Temps Anciens, dit on,
Se tiennent encore cachées
En des recoins obscurs et des mondes oubliés,
Et en certaines nuits, des portes s'ouvrent encore, pour libérer
Des formes que l'enfer renfermait.
- J.Geoffrey -
J'ouvris les yeux sur aube encore blanche
Et, toujours le monolithe se dressait,
Haut et silencieux.
Les danseurs ici avaient bondis et hurlés,
Du sang avait coulé au pied de cette pierre,
Sacrifice ignoble, souffrances juvéniles.
Mais nulle marque sombre, nuls caillots de sang!
Rêve maudit, atroce réalité?
Spectres impurs d'époques lointaines.
Ignoble fragment, tu n'es qu'un clef!
Sois maudite, sombre pierre,
Toi aussi, Ô triste lune!
Ils dansent,
Ils dansent autour de la pierre!
Ils dansent,
Ils dansent autour de la pierre noire!

2. Nemesis I
Par delà les portes du sommeil gardées par les goules
Après les abîmes de la nuit à la lune blafarde
J'ai vécu des vies sans nombres
J'ai sondé du regard toutes choses
Et je me débat et je crie jusqu'au lever du jour
Poussé à la folie par l'épouvante.
J'ai dérivé sur des océans sans fin
Sous des sinistres cieux aux nuages gris
Que déchiraient les complexes éclairs
Qui résonnaient des cris hystériques
Des gémissements de démons invisibles
Surgissants des eaux verdâtres.
H.P. Lovecraft
4. Quelque Chose...
Depuis tant d'années j'espérais ce moment
J'ai trop rêvé de cette chose dans ce cercle infernal
Et dans cette maison je l'ai trouvé,
Je sens le vide autour de moi, je deviens le vide!
Au dela des dernières portes de la folie elle m'attend.
Les ténèbres et la lumière, le temps et l'espace
Dans toutes les dimensions, dans les multivers
Le chaos et le néant se sont réunis et je m'avance.
Là où le sombre est plus que le noir
Là où rien est quelque chose
Et le sombre est plus clair que la lumière
Cela fût, cela avait toujours été là.
Car son monde est un monde plus noir que le noir
Et plus sombre que le sombre absolu.

When the Sun
Enter in the Ram,
And darkness are fallen,
Turn thy face
To the Northern Wind
Iah! Shub-Niggurath!
...Heaven can wait...
Great Black Goat of Woods
Worldly pleasures
I call thou!
...Waiting another day...
The sign of Voor
Rise in the sky
The seal is broken
The sign of Kish
Appear in the circle
The Gates are open
The Sign of Koth,
Elder thou watching,
Seals what was unfolded
Return on the Earth again!
Wordly pleasure!
Great Black Goat of Woods!
Kneeled thy body
By Archon of the Night,
Scent on the fire
The Seal of Blaesu
is tracing
I'll have their power
Becoming as a god
My soul is strong
I feel their stream
Growing within;
Black Horrors of the Night
Will kneel to me
I'll take their forces
and I'll order
Over them...
