THE STORY OF ME DEATH
ATTENDING MY FUNERAL FROM WITHIN MY SPIRIT (KA).
MY MUMMIFIED BODY WILL RETURN TO ME
UPON MY RESURECTION IN THE SPIRIT WORLD (KA AKHOU)
I CONTEMPLATE THESE CRYING WOMEN, RIPPING THEIR HAIR OUT WHILE GETTING UNDRESSED
THEY KNOCK THEIR CHESTS KNEELING IN THE DUST, PICKING IT UP TO THROW IT OVER THEIR HEADS
KNEELING DOWN IN LAMENTATION, BATTERING THEMSELVES OVER AND OVER AGAIN
ALL PRIESTS WERE PRESENT FOR THE THREE RITUALS.
AND THE UNIFICATION OF MY BODY AND SOUL.
AFTER THE OFFERINGS DONE TO MY SPIRIT, MY TOMB WAS CONFINED.
ALL THESE PEOPLE BEWAILING MY DEATH, HAUNTED BY REMORSE AND MEMORIES OF MY SUFFERING…I WILL TELL YOU THE STORY OF MY DEATH.
TRAPPED IN AN ENDLESS WAR. MY BODY MUTILATED BY BLADES.
STRUGGLING FOR MY LIFE, DEATH IS GETTING NEAR. KA AKHOU.
COVERED WITH WOUNDS.FEELING MY LAST BREATH
APPROACHING THE DEATH THAT WILL RELIEVE ALL PAIN AND EVIL.
WITH MY LAST VEHEMENCE, CONSCIOUS AGAIN, I SLAUGHTER A FEW MORE ENEMIES
UNTIL A BLADE OPENS MY THROAT
DEATH GRABS ME AND MY LIFE ENDS.

GEB’S WRATH
HA HA HA HA HA
HIS FRIGHTFUL LAUGHTER SHOOK THE EARTH
CAGING THE DEAD THROUGH HIMSELF
AS HE WAS APPROACHING, I REALIZED
THAT PLANTS WERE GROWING ON HIS CORPSE
I’M SCARED, FRIGHTENED BY THIS MONSTER
AFRAID TO BE BINDED BY ALL THOSE PLANTS
THAT CUFF THE DEPARTED
HA HA HA HA HA
HIS FRIGHTFUL LAUGHTER SHOOK THE EARTH
ALL THESE FRENZIED SPIRITS ARE TRYING TO GET OUT
SEEING THEIR HANDS BETWEEN SCORCHED SHRUBS
AND HEARING THEM SCREAM
I’M AFRAID, FRIGHTENED BY THIS MONSTER
ANOTHER SPIRIT PULLED BY DEATH’S GRIP
TRIES TO GET OUT BUT SHRUBS CATCH HIM AGAIN
FROZEN BY FEAR, TAKING A HOLD OF MYSELF
I ESCAPE, RUNNING AWAY FROM GEB
FOR A TRIP TOWARDS DOUAT IMHET
THE JACKAL’S FORM ABUBIS SAID TO ME:
EM-OUT I TEN OUNI ER OSIRIS ER-POU
EF TEN OUDA IN SY MAAT EN KA EN DA
SOU IMEN.ET
APPEARING IN FRONT OSIRIS
GOD OF DEATH AND BEYOND
WITH HIS 42 ASSISTANTS
THOT - WHICH NOTES THE CEREMONY
AMMIT – THE DEVOURER IN HYBRID SHAPE
HAPI – IMSETY – DOUAMOUTEF – QEBEHSENUEF
IN THIS LIBRA THERE IS A MAAT PLUME
ON THE OTHER SIDE, THERE’S MY HEART
I SWORE NOT TO HAVE COMMITED SINS
BUT THE LIBRA SAW MY LIES
AND AMMIT DEVOURED MY HEART
THUS GIVING ME HELL.

SEKHMET HÉKA OF WAR
SEKHMET HÉKA, SEKHMET HÉKA
SEKHMET HÉKA WHICH PROTECTS ME
IN BATTLE WITH ITS MAGIC POWER
WITH MY LANCE I IMPALE THEM
AND BEHEAD THEM WITH MY BLADE
DECHRET – BY THE EGYPTIAN WARRIOR’S BLOOD
I SEE HEADS TRUNTLING ON CHAOTIC SOILS
THE WOUNDED SCREAM IN AGONY
SEKHMET HÉKA – LOOK AT THEM RETREATING
BRING THEM THE POWER TO FIGHT AGAIN
SO THEY MAY CLEAVE THROUGH THE ENEMY
DECHRET – BY THE BLOOD OF OUR OPPONENTS
SEKHMET HÉKA WILL GIVE US SUPREMACY
DECHRET – BY THE POWER OF OUR MAGIC
SEKHMET HÉKA WILL BRING US VICTORY
HÉKA
I WATCH THEM FALL ONE BY ONE
DECAPITATED BY OUR SWORDS
IMPALED BY OUR LANCES
FEAR IN THEIR EYES JUSTIFY OUR VICTORY
POWERED BY AMENOPHIS
SOU IABTY RA OUR OUA HEH KY ES ROUET
OUR SOU IABTY SEKHMET ER SOU HEFETY
AQ ER ASSOUAN
HONORING WARRIORS WHO DIED ON THE BATTLEFIELD
RITUALS WILL BE CELEBRATED FOR THE PATH TO BEYOND
AND THEY WILL REST
FOR THEY FOUGHT WITH HONOR UNTIL DEATH

Seth’s Anger
TO ALL OUR ENNEMIES THAT FLED,
AFTER ATTAKING OUR CITIES OF EGYPT
YOU SHALL PERISH IN YOUR SLEEP
NIGHTMARES WILL BRING YOU DEATH
SETH MOUT KHEREP SELKET
I GRAB THE MAGICAL PAPYRUS
TO CONTROL THE ANGER OF SETH
I READ THE INCANTATIONS
ONCE ASLEEP THEY SHALL NEVER WAKE AGAIN
SETH MOUT KHEREP SELKET
SETH APPEARS IN THE WORLD OF DREAMS
AS A SNAKE AND SCORPION CHARMER
ALL THE CREATURES CONTROLED BY HIS MUSIC
ATTACK THE PERPETRATORS AND POISON THEM TO DEATH
IN ANOTHER DREAM A MAN WALKS IN THE DESERT
SCALDING UNDER THE SUN, BURNED BY THE SAND
HE TRIES TO STAND BUT SETH CHAINS HIM
AS A SLAVE PUNISHED FOR ALL HIS CRIMES
THE REST OF THE FELONIOUS ARE TORTURED IN SILENCE
PUSHED BY SETH IN QUICKSAND
DYING OF SUFFOCATION, LUNGS FILLED WITH GRIT
VICTORY IS OURS

KEMBET OF WAR
TO ALL THOSE WHO FOUGHT AGAINST EGYPT
YOU SHALL END YOUR LIVES
CONDEMNED TO LABOR, CHAINED AS SLAVES
AND WORST TO WHOMEVER WOULD RESIST
TO ALL THOSE WHO DARE DEFY US
YOU SHALL BE FREED AFTER MUTILATION
HANDS AND GENITALS SEVERED
TO NEVER BATTLE NOR REPRODUCE AGAIN
FILLED WITH FRIGHT, STRUGGLING IN TERROR
THEIR HANDS AND GENITALS SECTIONED
FREEDOM IN EXCHANGE OF A BLOODY PUNISHMENT
THEY WALKED IN THE DESERT COVERED IN BLOOD
CRAWLING WITH EXHAUSTION
THEY WOULD RATHER HAVE BECOME SLAVES
THEY ARRIVED IN THEIR VILLAGE, BLEEDING
THEIR BLOOD INFECTED BY THE DESERT ‘SETH’
TEN HEM TEN OUNEN HEKA IN SOU NETJER RA RA
TO ALL PRISONERS NOW FORCED INTO LABOR
CHAINED TO THEIR ANKLES AND WRISTS
JUGED SLAVES OF EGYPT
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS
TO OUR PRISONERS OF WAR

THRONE OF HORUS
THE GODS MOVED TO ANOTHER PLACE
ISIS WAS BANNED FROM THE COURT
ACE IN THE ART OF DISGUISE
SHE TRANSFORMED HERSELF INTO A HARPY
ELUDING THE GUARD THAT BROUGHT HER TO DESTINATION
ONCE THERE, BACK TO HERE NORMAL FORM
A WONDERFUL YOUNG WOMAN
SHE SEDUCED ME, SETH
TRAPPED BY THE MAGIC OF ISIS
THIS BEAUTIFUL WOMAN TOLD ME
SHE HAD BEEN MARRIED TO A SHEPPERD
WIDOWED, ALONE WITH HER SON
A STRANGER CAME AND STOLE THEIR CATTLE
AND BANISHED HER SON
I, SETH, CONDEMNED THIS STRANGER
WITHOUT KNOWING THAT THIS MAN WAS ME
SENTENCED BY MY OWN WORDS
HORUS RECEIVED THE THRONE
BUT I DID NOT ADMIT DEFEAT
AND CHALLENGED HORUS INTO BATTLE
EIGHTY YEARS WE FOUGHT WITHOUT MERCY
I PULLED OUT HORUS’ EYES
WHILE HE EMACULATED ME THE DESTRUCTOR
HORUS WAS WINNING
ISIS HAD PITY FOR ME, HER BROTHER
AND ASKED HER SON TO SPARE ME
BUT OUT OF ANGER HE SLICED HER HEAD
THOT CAME TO SEPARATE US
OSIRIS THREATENED TO SEND HIS DEMONS
SCARED, THE GODS NAMED HORUS TO THE THRONE
AND RA TOOK ME, SETH, WITH HIM
AS I YELLED INTO THE SKY, THEY WERE AFRAID OF ME

RITUEL OF HATHOR
INSTRUMENTS SING ENCHANTING HYMNS
INCANTATIONS ARE SPOKEN FOR HER
IN THE TEMPLE OF DENDERAH
THE GODDESS IS CALMED BY THE FESTIVITIES
PRIESTS BELIEVE THEY THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING
PURING THE CULT OF HATHOR, THEY DANCE
MUSICIANS PLAY TO THE GODDESS
PRIESTS SPEAK THEIR INCANTATIONS
BUT THE RITUAL FAILS
SPECTRAL APPARITIONS APPEAR FROM THE UNDERWORLD
DEMONS POSSESS THE WOMEN’S BODIES
SHOWING NIGHTMARISH VISIONS
THE FIRST WOMAN PLAYING HER (SITAR)
SEES HER HANDS MUTILATED
BLOOD DRIPPING ON THE FLOOR
THE SECOND WOMAN PLAYING TAMBOURINE
FEELS HER SKIN FALL IN TATTERS
DEVOURED BY PEST
HER FEET IN A POOL OF BLOOD
HATHOR AM I AND TO MY DIVINE BEING
ALL GLORIES OF THE UNIVERSE BOW DOWN
THE BLOSSOM AND THE MOUNTAINS AND THE SKY
I AM THE PRIEST, THE SACRIFICE, THE SHRINE
I AM LOVE AND THE LIFE OF THE DIVINE
LIFE, DEATH, LOVE, DARKNESS ARE MINE !
STOP THE RITUAL, BURN THESE WOMEN AND FIND SOME MORE
THE PHARAOH ORDERED THE GUARDS TO CREMATE THEM
DEVOURED BY FIRE THE WOMEN SCREAM IN DESPAIR
MAY THESE FLAMES OF OFFERING
BE YOUR DEEPEST ASPIRATION TO AWAKEN
MANIFEST YOURSELF IN THIS PLACE AND TIME
BY FAITH, WHILE IN LIFE, UPON DEATH
THE FIRE HAS DISSIPATED ITSELF INTO ASHES
BEGIN THE FINAL INVOCATION, BRING THE FINAL OFFERING
GIVE FORTH HER BLESSING OF REBIRTH
OH YOU HATHOR, MOTHER OF EACH PHARAOH
OH YOU HATHOR, GODDESS OF FERTILITY
PROTECT YOUR SON, THAT WILL SOON ARISE
FROM YOU THROUGH THIS WOMAN
THIS IS MY SON THAT WILL SUCCESS ME

HYMN TO ATON
WHEN YOU APPEAR LIVING DISK
LORD OF ETERNITY YOU ARE FAIR, SHINING AND MIGHTY
AND YOUR RAYS TOUCHING EVERYONE’S FACE MAKE THEIR BREASTS HEAVE
AND FILL THE WORLD WITH YOUR LIFE FORCE
YOU HIGH GOD WHO SHAPED HIMSELF AND SHAPED THE WORLD
AND MADE EVERYTHING THAT COVERS IT
THEY ALL LIVE BUT WHEN YOU SHINE
BECAUSE YOU ARE FATHER AND MOTHER OF YOUR CREATION
THEIR EYES WHEN YOU SHINE BY YOU ALONE HAVE SIGHT
AS SOON AS THE EARTH BY YOUR RAYS IS ENLIGHTENED
AND THEIR HEART ARE BLISSFUL BY YOUR SIGHT
BECOSE YOU APPEARED AS LORD
BUT WHEN YOU DISAPPEAR ON THE WESTERN HORIZON
BEHOLD ! THEY ARE LYING IN THE IMAGE OF THE DEAD
UNTIL AT DAWN YOUR LIGHT RETURNS IN THE EASTERN HORIZON
AND THEIR ARMS HAIL YOUR APPEARANCE
AS SOON AS THEIR BREASTS ARE GIVEN LIFE BY YOUR POWER
WE ARE BORN AGAIN AND YOUR RAYS GIVE LIVE TO THE LAND
WHEN YOU THE LIVING DISK APPEARS ALL YOUR CREATIONS REJOICE
YOU WHO ENJOY THE SKY EACH DAY TO GIVE BIRTH TO YOUR SONS
IN YOUR IMAGE WITHOUT STOPPING A MOMENT IN YOUR OWN PERFECTION
I AM YOUR SON, HE WHO EXALTS YOUR NAME
YOUR MIGHT AND YOUR POWER ARE ENGRAVED IN MY HEART
BECAUSE YOU ARE THE LIVING DISK, ETERNITY IS YOUR IMAGE
YOU MADE THE SKY TO SHINE THEREIN
AND CONTEMPLATE WHAT YOU ALONE CREATE
LIFE IN ALL IT’S FORMS OWES TO YOU IT’S SOURCE
THE BREATH OF LIFE FROM YOU COMES TO US
SEEING YOUR RAYS IS TO BE DRUNK FROM GAZING AT YOUR FACE
AND THE WINGS THAT WERE CLOSED NOW OPEN UP IN ADORATION
FOR THE LIVING DISK, FOR HE WHO THEM CREATED.
