The Pharaoh Sails To Orion |
| «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 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… |
| Join my soul the Hunter in the sky |
