The Pharaoh Sails To Orion
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 His 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 though 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 out 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
Join my soul the Hunter in the sky
