Song language: English
In the Name of Amun |
| In the name of the God Amun I wage war |
| North to Gaza I marched my armies of chariots and infantry |
| Twenty thousand strong to crush as revolt of vassal states |
| Rebellious kings of Kadesh and Megiddo |
| Syrians allied with the Mitanni and Amurru |
| Built their settlements taken over the trade route of the Dia Maris |
| Through treacherous mountain passes to descend upon the Canaanites |
| On the plain of Esbraelon we rode forth bringing carnage and death |
| With chariot and composite bow |
| Attacking in concave formation |
| Vicious three winged piercing spearhead swiftly overwhelming both Canaanite |
| flanks |
| Fearlessly I smote their center |
| Savagely we broke the enemy’s will |
| Heavy slaughter and bitter suffering did we inflict upon them |
| At the word of the God Amun I waged war |
| In the name of the God Amun I sanctioned atrocities |
| Wanton cruel remorseless in the name of the God Amun |
| Surrounded scattered broken demoralized shamed defeated |
| The rebels fled into the city of Megiddo |
| Trapped like rats they closed the gates behind them |
| Seven months we lay siege to Megiddo utterly breaking the league of rebels |
| I Thutmose III. |
| have brought doom upon the rebels |
| Vicious and pitiless destruction have I inflicted upon the vanquished |
| I have slaughtered the captives |
| Slain the wounded, enslaved their women, massacred their populace |
| Killed their people by the tens of thousands |
| I have hacked up their lands, desolated their towns |
| Cast fire into their dwellings caid settlements to waste |
| I have made mounds of their cities |
| Cut down their fields of grains, felled their trees |
| Every resource of life have I denied them |
| Their resettlement can never take place |
| I have destroyed them utterly at the word of Amon Ra |
