Fire be upon thee, Apep!
Ra maketh thee to burn!
Thou who art hateful unto him!
Ra pierceth thy head!
He cutteth through thy face!
Ra melteth thine countenance!
Lo, your skull is crushed in his hand...
Thy bones are smashed in pieces...
Burn!
Thou fiend!
Before the fire of the eye of Ra!
The hidden one hath overthrown thy words!
The gods have turned thy face backwards!
Thy skull is ripped from thy spine...
Lynx hath torn open thy breast!
Scorpion hath cast fetters upon thee!
Ma'at hath sent forth thy destruction!
Thou shalt burn!
[After solo]
The god Aker hath condemned thee to the flames...
Fire be upon thee, Apep...
Thou enemy of Ra!
Let flames gnaw into thee...
And sear thy flesh...
Fall down, Apep!
I hath set torch upon thee!
Taste thou death, Apep!
The burning is upon you...
Thou art consumed!
I hath lain fire upon thee!
I hath smeared thy remains with excrement!
I hath spat on thine ashes!
Taste thou death!
