1. Birth of Light

 

In the void where chaos rules, a darkened place

Eight primordial gods, their forms arise

Endless waters, endless night, a timeless race

Hidden realms and shadows veil the skies

 

From the void, the cosmos wakes, life’s first embrace

Heavens parting and creation starts

 

The light begins to brighten

As sunlight starts to lighten

Order and harmony arise

 

From the chaos rose the dawning

Bringing order to day

Chasing shadows away

This will bring a first day’s morning

Harmony prevails

 

From the light, the land appears, firm and bright

Sun-god’s rays bring order, life takes place

Mountains rise, rivers flow, kissed by light

Harmony and peace, a world of grace

 

The light continues growing

Balance in all things showing

Order and unity arise

 

CHORUS

 

Rise up – bring the sunlight rider

Rise up – cast away the night

Rise up – bring the dawn’s provider

Rise up – make the cosmos bright

Rise up – bring the darkness fighter

Rise up – end the endless night

 

CHORUS

 

 

2. Flames of Ember Dawn

 

Long before the sun

An ocean they called Nun

The endless holy waters

 

On the primal mound

Occurred a splendid sound

A cry of the first bird

 

He spread his wings and flew up high above the sky

As a companion of the sun

 

Heavenly majesty

Of perfect harmony

You are the elder – you’re the great

But fire is your fate

Your life will soon be gone

In flames of amber dawn

Will you rise up nevermore?

 

Amazing entity

Divine legacy

A creature – self-created

 

Holder of the Ba

Of mighty sun-god Ra

Bennu the holy bird

 

He spread his wings and flew up high above the sky

As a companion of the sun

 

CHORUS

 

After an era of five hundred years

Bennu returned to his home

Fashioned his nest of sweet tasting boughs

He was waiting to burn

 

Heavenly majesty

Of perfect harmony

You were the elder – were the great

But fire was your fate

Your sacred life was gone

In flames of ember dawn

You will rise up – so proud and reborn

 

 

3. Barque of Millions (Amduat pt.I)

 

In the golden twilight hours, shadows grow

Fading light, the sun retreats below

Gods and guardians of the night standing by

As Re’s journey through the darkness begins

 

In the silence of the night

There’s a whisper of the morning

At the end of the long journey

 

On the edge of night Re sails with fading light

The barque of millions guides through endless shadow’s flight

Though night may claim the dying sun

He’ll arise when day’s begun

On the edge of night Re sails with fading light

 

In the heart of night, the dangers start to rise

Whispers in the dark, where sunlight dies

Serpents coil and demons lurk in the gloom

As Re’s courage lights the path through the doom

 

In the depths where shadows creep,

Re supports the Bas who wander

Guarding all within his shelter

 

CHORUS

 

In the depths of shadows’ reign

There’s a hope that keeps on burning

When the trials all have passed

Re will rise, his light returning

 

CHORUS

 

 

4. The Sacred Union (Amduat pt.II)

 

Into the waters of Nun, vast and deep

The sun barque moves forward, astray

Re forges onward, his strength to reclaim

To shatter the chains of decay

 

Voices rise, the moment calls

When the barque has reached the halls of glory

Midway through the underworld’s domain

 

At the time when radiant soul and body reunite

The spark of life ignites the sacred light

As life returns, the sun ascends to break the night

 

Deep in the waters where silence takes hold

The sun-god proceeds through the gate

The form of Osiris awaits in the dark

This hour determines Re’s fate

 

Time repeats, the cycle turns

Re ascends, his power burns eternal

The serpents shield the union’s fragile flame

 

At the time when radiant soul and body reunite

The spark of life ignites the sacred light

As life returns, the sun ascends to break the night

 

Re’s Ba and the form of Osiris combine

Yet darkness consumes all around it

This uncertain moment may break the design

Yet hope will arise

 

At the time when radiant soul and body reunite

The spark of life ignites the sacred light

As life returns, the sun ascends to break the night

 

 

5. Soldiers of Re (Amduat pt.III)

 

Re! Re! Re! All for Re!

 

Re’s solar barque has reached a cavern

Ruled by his greatest enemy

A giant snake – the Lord of Chaos

Apophis was his name

 

The greatest gods are at his service

And millions of departed souls

Together they all form the netherworld’s legion of the Re

 

Apophis, we’ll hunt you down!

We’re standing strong!

 

All we are – we’re the holy soldiers of Re

We are…

All we are – we’re the guardians fighting the way

We are the soldiers of Re

 

Re! Re! All for Re!

 

In the face of greatest danger

Isis cast her magic spells

But all the magic couldn’t stop Apophis from attacking Re

 

Now Set the savage god of violence

Prepared to fight the wicked force

So, he attacked evil Apophis with his mighty battle spear

 

Apophis is on the run!

We’re marching on!

 

CHORUS

 

Re! Re! All for Re!

Re! Re! All for Re!

 

CHORUS

 

Re! Re! All for Re!

 

 

6. Reborn to Light (Amduat pt.IV)

 

He crossed the darkest abyss

Conquered the snake Apophis

The underworld was full of dangers

 

Hundreds of true attenders

Fighters and brave defenders

Protected Re throughout his journey

 

After a dozen hours

Re almost gained his powers

Ready to steer his solar barque

 

Reborn to light

The holy Re regained his powers and his glory

Reborn to light

Re overcame the evil forces of the night

 

Finally, Re broke their physical union

And left Osiris in his kingdom

 

Re’s ultimate creation

His final transformation

Into the morning form of Khepri

 

After a dozen hours

Re fully gained his powers

Entered his shiny solar barque

 

CHORUS

 

Death at west and resurrection in the east

This is the endless night-time journey

Every night Re will defeat the chaos beast

Proven for a million times!

 

Reborn to light

A new tomorrow brings the long-desired sunrise

 

CHORUS

 

 

7. Feather or Heart

 

Feather or heart

And the judgment tears you apart

 

Anubis, born of twilight

The son of Nephthys, shadow queen

Protector of the death rite

Where mortal sins are always seen

 

He guides the dead into the shadows

The scales await to judge the soul

 

Within the Hall of Judgment

The feather waits to test the heart

Anubis hears their lament

But truth and lies are torn apart

 

The soul awaits in fear of judgment

The scales reveal what hearts conceal

 

Feather or heart – the balance will seal your fate

Feather or heart – no soul can escape its weight

Feather or heart

 

Pure hearts ascend

Dark ones will end

The judgement stands – no second chance

Osiris guides the rightful

To rest among the souls divine

 

The pure ascend to fields of glory

The lost are cast to realms of night

 

CHORUS

 

Feather or heart

And the judgment tears you apart

Feather or heart

And the judgment tears you apart

 

CHORUS

 

Feather or Heart – the light or the shadow’s call

Feather or Heart – the truth will consume it all

Feather or heart

Feather or heart

 

 

8. Rebellion (Re’s Dying Reign pt.I)

 

Re has grown weak, and his might fades away

              We want the blood of Re!

Aeons of time bring the end of his sway

              We want the blood of Re!

 

All of their lives, they have followed his word

Now humans arise in defiance

Breaking the chains of his reign!

 

King of kings

Light of lights

Watch out – your fall has begun!

King of kings

Light of lights

Look out – your reign will be gone!

 

Re calls his gods to the hall of his might

              We want the blood of Re!

Seeking their wisdom, man’s fate to decide

              We want the blood of Re!

 

The gods have declared that all humans must fall

To end their malicious rebellion

Judgment shall rain from the sky!

 

CHORUS

 

Re calls in rage, and the gods heed his call

Hathor shall rise in his name!

Born from his eye, she descends like a storm

And blood shall be spilled on the earth!

 

CHORUS

 

 

9. Blood and Sand (Re’s Dying Reign pt.II)

 

Sent by the gods with a flame in her gaze

Hathor is searching for the sinners she slays

Fleeing in vain through the sands of the night

None shall escape from her wrath – and her cold bite

 

Vengeance ignites as the fury takes hold

She turns into Sekhmet like stories foretold

Blood on the sand as the mortals all flee

None shall be spared from the lion’s decree

 

The hunger of Sekhmet turns to anger

The goddess has lost control of her soul

Now the slaughter unfolds

 

Humans, all humans, will drown in blood and sand

Humans, all humans, will fall by Sekhmet’s hand

 

High in the sky, from his throne Re descends

Watching the slaughter, he failed to defend

Blood paints the earth as the cries fade away

None shall be lost, he must end her cruel way

 

The madness of Sekhmet must be silenced

No longer the god controls her lost soul

Now her fury unfolds

 

CHORUS

 

Blood will drown her fury

Re colours beer in red

Tricking her to slumber

The lion’s wrath is fed

 

CHORUS

 

Humans, all humans, were saved from Sekhmet’s hand

Humans, all humans, are spared by Re’s command

 

 

10. Farewell (Re’s Dying Reign pt.III)

 

I ruled the world for countless centuries

In harmony with gods and man

But now mankind has turned with enmity

And left my heart to break again.

 

Darkness falls upon my ancient throne

Now it’s time for me to go.

 

My reign on earth has lost its fiery grace

But now my light must fade away

The time has come to leave this mortal place

To heaven’s realm, I’ll soar and sway

 

I summoned Thoth to bear my strength alone

To rule when I’m away from sight

And for his watch, I made the moon his own

To guide the world till dawn’s first light

 

I formed the stars to pierce the darkened sky

Night unveils my final gift

 

CHORUS

 

I crafted heaven with my hands

Set for gods to dwell and shine

I remain till time’s last sands

Through the endless years divine

 

CHORUS
