The Pharaoh Sails To Orion Lyrics

"Get away from me!
Take heed to thyself
and see my face no more!
For in the day Thou see my face
thou shalt die!"

- Exodus 10:28


A constellation of divine
architecture built on earth.
A holy harbour, Orion,
nautical ascension to the firmament.

Ship-shaped barrows open my heart
to the wisdom of this land.
Sailing with the Serpent Chimera
of a fiendish sandman.

The unicorn arrives with
the westwind to dream my funeral.
"Thou art born
for Horus dwells in thee."

Slumbering with the ebb
and the flow of this foaming tomb.
"Thou art born
for Seteh dwells in thee."

Reveal your face to me and guide me
through the Stygian fields.
Enthral my soul to Sepedet's beams
to serve your will.

Sailing on the distant seas
from darkness to deliverance.
Tales like the ocean
written to the Draco's glance.

Ruling with the scythe of death,
you tear our philosophies apart.
An ancient starwalk
to merge into the stars!

"Open thy veins for my venom,
kiss the cobras with thy twisted tongue.
So shalt thou join the empyrean circus,
where beggars mourn and seraphs dance.

In this twilight cathedral
shall I wed thee,
O' Bride of the Netherworld!"

Sailing on the distant seas
from darkness to deliverance.
Tales like the ocean
written to the Draco's glance.

Ruling with the scythe of death,
you tear our philosophies apart.
An ancient starwalk,
join my soul the Hunter in the sky!
