The Appeasement of Ghizguth
In sub-Yuggothian caverns cold and black
Dwells hideous Ghizguth, cosmic wanderer
Who in lost aeons raged across the voids,
Leaving within his wake the flaming wrack
Of shattered suns and crumbling planetoids.
To Yuggoth he did plunge on night-black vanes
Where to this day he dwells and darkly reigns
In caves where sentient vapors shift and stir
Like spectral wraiths raised up to do his will.
And now, his wrathful urges to defer,
His fungoid, crablike minions chant and shrill,
Offering many a dreadful sacrifice
With frantic Rituals dark and sinister
Before his hulking form on its black dais.
O Mighty Ghizguth, black Tsathoggua's sire,
I, Eibon, terrene Wizard, give to Thee
Victims awrithe within thine altar's fire
That Thou might stay awhile the devastation
Which Thou hast strewn across eternity
On worlds whose scorn drew down thine indignation.
