Nile - User-Maat-Re lyrics

[Nile - User-Maat-Re lyrics]

O Seti, Great One, my father
I hath finished for Thee Thy temple at Abydos
And made known the lineage of the blessed
Those who came before
I hath exalted mine ancestors
I hath honoured with the blood
And sweat of many
The legacy of Thy conquests

I hath glorified Thy temple of Set in Avaris
In Karnak hath I raised the Great Hall
In Thebes, sublime monuments, grand pylons
Obelisks and colossal statues are inscribed
With my name by divine right I hath usurped
The monuments of my predecessors
I hath created imposing rock hewn temples
Monumental colossi in mine own image
Like as unto the images of Amun, Re, Ptah
I hath caused to rise a
Formidable legacy carved in stone
In the mountain of Meha
Intended to endure a million years

In the violence of Sekhem i am become Montu
God of War in the Two Lands
I hath suppressed the rebellious
I hath driven back chaos and disorder
The conquered chiefs of all foreign
Lands are beneath my sandals
I hath emblazoned my countless
Victories in Immortality
Carved in rocks as living images of
The ritual massacre of mine enemies

I am User-Maat-Re Setepene-re
Sovereign of sovereigns beloved of Amun
Chosen of Re i hath made manifest the
Grandeur of my empire
To be worthy of Thy legacy o Seti, Great One

User-Maat-Re, Thou hast done nothing
User-Maat-Re, Thou hast done nothing

User-Maat-Re, Thou hast done nothing
User-Maat-Re, Thou hast done nothing

Nothing nothing
