Once great King of Buzzard and cobra
who once ruled over the land
your existence has but ceased and
time is no longer a demand
Ritual Journey has begun and now no
time is left
Sky is Dark Pyramid points north
Now the eternal quest

Jackal God of Embalming, Anubis takes his toll
one by one it is all removed, heart, liver and soul
Mind is next by breaking bones between cavity and skull
with a hook the brain comes out by
careful and few pulls

Painted eyes of stone are placed in the head
For this of you life is what you were bed

Incision in the gut, organs are withdrawn
corpse is stuffed and wrapped
for lifetimes to come

Innovators of the ancient kind
Perplexities that can never be placed in line

Ahhh...

Into the world of shadows the soul soon shall find
Whether the heart is heavy or whether it lies
The life will be destroyed if htis is so
and the judgment shall be passed to the
underworld below

Oooh devour the light, oooh devour the cries
oooh devour the light, oooh devour the cries

RA take your glorious throne
the weight of the heart you will behold
schripture keeping come from thoth
which weighs more the feather or the heart

Heart is placed on a scale
feather on the other side
For every test that is passed
the feather shows its decline

Over the pale blue skies
or one step closer to demise
which is your destiny
The spirit will surely see

Forty two crimes
are passed before your life
He who reaches the other land
shall exist like a god until the end

weighing of the heart,
will you see the light
weighing of the heart,
will your soul be ripped apart
[repeat]

Over the pail blue skies
or one step closer to demise
which is your destiny
The spirit shal surely see

Beyond you do not go this time
failed the worst of the crimes
The entity does not proceed
To the mansions of eternity

As the shadow of death falls
on your path is the gods halls
Ammit will devour and slaughter
Osirus start the next trial

weighing of the heart,
will you see the light
weighing of the heart,
will your soul be ripped apart
[repeat]

In the land of the dead to the west of the
Nile remains the great Kings preserved
for the spirits, resting forever guarded
by Hamor Protector of all that lie in
the valley

Four Goddesess, watching
over the, sarcophagus
inside the embalmed
peaceful, eternally

In the future the spirits returns to the body
beginning the journey for the afterlife
keeping belongings that once were their own
To live with the gods in the other land

Entombed, in his lair
awaiting the coming
beneath the earth, behind stone walls
awaken to live, once again

In the valley of the Kings they stay
in the tombs of gold is where they lay
forever gazing in the dark

Body wrapped in silken cloths
force felt throughout the pyramid walls
dreams of eternal life
[repeat last verse]

Mourners gather round
look at the corpse in a casket
teardrops hit the ground
what is this?

Touching the dead
feels so cold

Carrying the body
to the open ground
Final time you see it
it is going down

Mourners gather round once more
look at the closed casket
Mother faints to the floor
What is it?

Preacher say your senseless words
listening its so absurd
this ordeal is nothing new
now the cemetery owns you

You are but a slave to the grave

Trapped, shackled by four chains, strapped to a wall, tormented day by day, living life in
Fear, hunger sets in now pain begins, rats gnaw my flesh, infected limbs are
Left, nothing to see, nothing to hear, only screams of anguish followed by
Tears, wishing to die, the luxury its time I've lost control the sixteenth chamber has taken my soul

Screams ripping through the air, bloodstained walls
everywhere. People dying lives are lost
this is my own holocaust.
Me existence torn from mind, flowing fast
like the sands of time. Please lift this
horrid curse, living in a world of hurt

Life line of consciousness, overshadowed by
lancination. Barely subsisting breathing,
living with the dead

Trapped, shackled by four chains, strapped to a wall, tormented day by day, living life in
Fear, hunger sets in now pain begins, rats naw my flesh, infected limbs are
Left, nothing to see, nothing to hear, only screams of anguish followed by
Tears, wishing to die, the luxury its time I've lost control the sixteenth chamber has taken my soul
