The son of a shepherd, Abdul Alhazred
The protagonist, Abdul Alhazred, is the son of a shepherd.
Traveling in the mountains, the mountains to the east
Abdul is traveling in the eastern mountains.
One night before him, there stood that giant rock
He encounters a giant rock with three symbols carved in blood.
Three symbols carved in blood
Abdul builds a fire at the rock's root for protection from wolves.
He built a fire at its root
The Mad Arab senses danger and takes precautions.
To protect him from the wolves
He fears wolves and seeks protection from them.

The repetition emphasizes the significance of the Mad Arab.
It was in his hands
The situation is within his control or possession.
Later that same night, awoken by wolfen's cry
Abdul is disturbed by the cry of wolves during the night.
The Arab cold with fear, saw the rock began to rise
The rock starts rising, frightening Abdul.
Rise
Reiteration of the rising action, possibly indicating supernatural events.
The son of a shepherd, Abdul Alhazred
Reintroduction of Abdul, the son of a shepherd.
Shivering he saw Them coming, the mountain's evil priests
Abdul is confronted by evil priests of the mountain.
Black robes came together, around the floating rock
The priests gather around the floating rock with three symbols.
3 symbols in the dark
Reiteration of the symbols, suggesting their importance.
They all started chanting ancient songs
The priests chant ancient songs during a ritual.
It was prayer in unknown tongue
They engage in a prayer in an unknown tongue.

He would understand
He is still trying to understand the situation.
The Mad Arab
The mysterious events are somehow within his control or understanding.
It was in his hands

Daggers held high to the sky
Daggers are raised high, suggesting a menacing atmosphere.
The chanting had turned to screams
The chanting transforms into screams, intensifying the ritual's nature.
From the pit where the rock had been
After the rock disappears, snake-like monsters emerge from a pit.
8 snake-like monsters came
The priests burn in red, indicating a violent and dramatic turn of events.
And the priests burned in red
The monsters appear, causing chaos and destruction.
And the priest had turned their heads
The priests turn their heads, possibly in agony or despair.
The blood running from their chests
Blood flows from the priests' chests, horrifying the Mad Arab.
Had the Arab scream in horror
Abdul gives himself away by screaming in horror.
Giving himself away
He inadvertently reveals his presence and fear.
The Mad Arab

He would understand
He is still in the process of understanding the unfolding chaos.
The Mad Arab

Run down that mountain side, oh but they had seen him
A narrative shift to a mountain-side escape, creating suspense.
The priests had caught his scent
The evil priests sense Abdul's presence and begin pursuing him.
Running faster
Abdul runs faster to escape the pursuing priests.
They're chasing him
The priests are chasing Abdul, intensifying the suspense.
Can't go no faster
Despite his efforts, Abdul can't escape any faster.
They're still behind
The priests are still behind, closing in on Abdul.
Aaaah NO!!! They're closing in
A final scream as the priests are about to capture Abdul.
