"Shakugu's Genesis" (1994 Demo)
1. Of Blood & Stone...
2. Gathering the Serpentines of Gid
3. Akakharu
1. Of Blood & Stone...
The night winds of Gi Umuna have awoken me from thy slumber. They speak of the seven salts that their breezes scattered across the vast plains of Absu. And so, I drink of this abyssmal water seven hundred and twenty-six times, and the salts are made known to me.
And from the lost city of Ekurbad, a voice cries, “their essence lies within the hidden flame.” And so, I draw thy blade of firestone with spell & chant and thrust its essence into the earth. With heat and fire the elements reveal the arcanum and the primal power of the serpent manifests within. The forgotten ones have awoken and remembered...and with weapons they return so that the blind may fall. May the mysteries of the stone gather unto thee...
With the sevenfold powers of vitriolum and thy battle blades of yamatu, the warriors of Shadu come forth from their spaces. The forces of ancient artistry have made presence within thy human chamber. With darkened sky and blackened earth, Tsilatu spreadeth her wings over the horizon. The veils of Merodach are distilled by our sorceries and the blind are cut in twain by our blades. The cosmos has unfoldeth itself unto the union of the halves. The serpent manifests as one and the tides of victory sweep across the unseen mists. The blood is rectified unto the throne, the eye, and the stone. Behold, Asaru!
2. Gathering the Serpentines of Gid
Enter seven shadows of the flame, I conjure thee forth from the forgotten plains of Urulu. I awaken thee from beyond the mountains of Shadu. Spirits of the deep embrace me... Gibil gashru umuna yanduru, tushte yesh shir illani uma yalki, gishtar ia zi ia, ia zi dinger girra kanpa, gishbar ba gibbil ba girra zi aga kanpa...
Thou art conjured he whom keepeth the sharp point of the sword. May thou bring forth to thee the formulae of the seven shadowed essences? Kakkammanunu! By the serpents of the sacred staff, I distill the essence of Asaru and call forth the cold vengeance of kakkab u alap shame...
Ia ia ia, adu en I ba ninib, ninib ba firik, firik ba pirik, pirik ba agga ba es, agga ba es ba akka bar, akka bar ba akka ba es, akka ba es ba akka bar, akka bar ba agga ba es, agga ba es ba pirik, pirik ba firik, firik ba ninib, ninib ba adu en I, iaiaiaia, kur bur ia, edin ba ega. Erim ba egura, E E E, ia ia ia, ekhi iak sakkak, ekhi azag-thoth, ekhi asaru, ehki tliamatu, ia ia ia...
By the Dur of Indur and they serpentine of Gid, I call forth thy lady Shakugu, mistress of the cracked cauldron (wherein the secrets of the seven metals are forgotten). From Nuzku upon Uru, the essence is made known to thee...and I embrace the blackened blood of thy dragonlord.
3. Akakharu
The crescent moon drifts upon the darkened skies... with emotions I am aroused by the sweet call of thy serpent, and a cold sensation arises within... the eternal lust of calm that fulfills thy desires... I touch the soft winds of the night and the stars carry me upon winter mists... engulfed in deep ecstacy I touch the earth with my eternal thirsts... like strangers to an ever known presence they release unto thee and the blood moistens upon thy lips... in a sweeping breath, the night calls thy name and the crescent moon drifts upon the darkened skies...
