Come spirits of the air and lift me high
Unshackle me from the earth and let me touch the sky

Every time I try to come up with something, I'm led back in my mind to Tim Benzedrine in Bored of the Rings. Like his invocation to make the tree release the boggies:

Tim, Tim Benzedrine! Hash! Boo! Valvoline!
Clean! Clean! Clean for Gene!
First, second, neutral, park,
Hie thee hence, you leafy narc!

The following description of a moment from the Tibetan Book of the Dead was the incantation one of my characters used to plane shift a group of people to the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Lightning:

"Heruka holds the wheel, the axe, the sword; the bell, the plowshare, the skull bowl. His eyebrows flash like lightning, his fangs gleam like new copper. He hisses, 'Shu, shu.' Krodhishvari embraces him, and feeds him blood; she roars like thunder. Do not fear them!"

Gather darkness, heed my call
In Sutekh's name, night must fall

Night does fall, bless my eyes
Let me see, through nights disguise

Atropos the weaver sits at her loom
Measures the thread and shows your doom.

To be clear, that's the Death Vision spell

The truth is just a rule to bend
Take it now, this gift I send

Swedish Counting Rhyme
Ole dole doff
Kinke liane koff
Koffe liane binke bane
Ole dole doff

The words are pure gibberish.

Plane Shift incantation

Through the darkness of future past
The magician longs to see
One chants out between two worlds:
Fire walk with me
