(Older Than Time itself)



The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are

And the Old Ones shall be

From the dark stars they came ere man was born

Unseen and loathsome they descended to primal earth



Beneath the oceans they brooded while ages past

Till seas gave up the land, whereupon they swarmed forth in

Their multitudes and darkness ruled the earth

What man knoweth Kadath' Path of Alpha gleams at us



Dho-hna delivered the formula

Zazas zazas Nasatanada

Ohodos scies Ia Fyaan. Ia o Tsatthoggua!



Their praises beneath the peaks of ancient Throk

They have walked the Earth

And they have walked admidst the stars

Ever awaite the time of their return; for the Earth has known

Them and shall know them in time yet to come...



When the stars will bear their row and the time will be thou old

Black Tsatthoggua, toad and terror from the dark

Return from R'lyeh with your sons

Bokrug, Rhan-Tegoth and Ia Fyaan



Zazas Zazas Nasatanada! Ia o Tsatthoggua!

Your step wilst quake this earth o bleed

Father of Nyar-Lathotep come forth to feel and free
