Painted and inscribed on flat stones |
|
Abhorrent to the deep ones |
|
Abhorrent to their great father |
|
Is the symbol to guard against Dagon |
|
Created by the elder things |
|
Long ages past |
|
To guard against Dagon and his spawn |
|
No deep one will cross a threshold |
|
that has the symbol painted upon it |
|
No deep one will follow a path |
|
that has the symbol upon it |
|
No deep one will emerge from a beach |
|
that is strewn with stones |
|
bearing the sacred symbol |
|
By this sign those who dwell |
|
near their submerged city of cyclopean stones |
|
are not molested unless they venture into the waves |
|
where the deep ones exact |
|
a terrible vengeance upon them |
