A monstrous, fiery comet heralds their return:
Ghidrah, the Space Monster,
and his terrible sibling, cycloptic Gigan
wing their way through vast starry voids;
A chanting call awakens the Great One,
Mothra, Master of the Aether;
Deep in the Earth's crust, amidst the shattering earth;
Great Megalon stirs in his lightless,
subterranean lair, and begins his
awesome ascent;
Ebirah, Master of the Deeps,
arises from its sunken citadel
far below the waves;
Aspiga scuttles forth from its dank,
web-choked cavern;
And there are countless others:
Come, Spiky Angurus; Leonine King Seesar!
Come, Serpentine Manda; Amorphous Hedorah!
Yet all are quelled before the awesome Nuclear Might of the King
of the
Monsters --
Ia! Godzilla!
