Nile - Kheftiu Asar Butchiu lyrics

Kheftiu Asar Butchiu
Enemies of Osiris who are to be burned
Let there be fetters on your arms
Let there be shackles on your necks
Let there be chains upon you
Ye shall be hacked to pieces for
What ye have done to Osiris
You have put his mysteries behind your backs
You hath dragged the statue of the god
From the secret place

You hath desecrated the hidden things
Of the great one
You are doomed to stand and receive
In your faces the fire
Which the serpent Khetti is about
To spit at you

Khetti
Great serpent who lieth in undulations
Before the damned khetti
Open thy mouth, distend thy jaws
Belch forth thy flames against
My father's enemies burn up their bodies
Consume their souls
By the fire which issueth from thy mouth
And by the flames which art in thy body

The fire which is in the serpent Khetti
Shall come forth
And blaze against the enemies of Osiris
Whosoever knoweth how to use
These words of power
Against the serpent shall be as one
Who doth not enter upon his fiery path

Kheftiu Asar Butchiu kheftiu Asar Butchiu

Kheftiu Asar Butchiu kheftiu Asar Butchiu
Kheftiu Asar Butchiu kheftiu Asar Butchiu
