Nile - The Gods Who Light Up the Sky At the Gate of SethuLyrics

The great god cometh forth to the gate The gods who are therein acclaim him Guarded by sixteen uraeistandeth the mummified form of nemi A knife in his hands swept by flames of fire Come thou who art at the horizon Who unveils the secret place and unfolds the fathomless depths of the earth Sethu the hideous serpent stands on his tail And guards the way Sayeth sa Rand thy gate tear open thy portal illuminate the darkness The gate shuts behind ra Uraei wail when the gate closes upon them The procession of ra incinerates the sky Until the god of the hour a star in each hand Horus the hawk headed Sereqabeshi Sekhet the lioness The winged serpent semi Besi receives the flame Of a horned animal transfixed by a knife From the neck of the serpent ankhi Grows the skulls of the undead The cries raise their hands in adoration Uraei rear their heads Unto horus set Maketh thou a rising up for ra In his hand is the fire from the head and upon the horns The weapon in the hand of the slayer is within the follower of the god Those who cry unto ra say Enter in o ra Hail come forth thou who art born of the underworld Light up the night sky set ablaze a conflagration that sears the firmament
