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
