Eclipse of Serpents

"The pyramids themselves... have forgotten the names of their
 Founders." - Thomas Fuller
 Io!
 Shafts of plague and pythoness gift
 The blackness of Bast hast cometh unto us
 Heiracosphinx! Slain
 By judgment's flaming sword
 Canst thou see the blood of the Nile?
 I--!
 Of all blights! 'tis our sorry lot
 To suffer black, night, and boils
 Theban courage and Memphian lust
 Thou darest stain with blood
 Lo! The torment of the snake
 Scythian blades---jackal's fleet
 Hail! The conquest of...
 The Uncreated one
 Open the book of Adapa
 And behold the coming of plagues
 Morbid philosopher
 Behind the curtain of lies
 Ave! Thou art greatest of fifty - Ave! Avenger
 Ave! Thou art greatest of fifty - Ave! leviathan
