Lyrics Kheftiu Asar Butchiu - Nile

Kheftiu Asar Butchiu

Kheftiu Asar Butchiu
Enemies of Osiris who are to be burned
Let there be fetters on your arms
Let there be shackles on your necks
Let there be chains upon you
Ye shall be hacked to pieces for what ye have done to Osiris
You have put his mysteries behind your backs
You hath dragged the statue of the god
From the secret place
You hath desecrated the hidden things of the great one
You are doomed to stand and receive in your faces
The fire which the serpent Khetti is about to spit at you
Khetti
Great serpent who lieth in undulations
Before the damned
Khetti
Open thy mouth distend thy jaws
Belch forth thy flames against my fathers enemies
Burn up their bodies
Consume their souls
By the fire which issueth from thy mouth
And by the flames which art in thy body
The fire which is in the serpent Khetti
Shall come forth
And blaze against the enemies of Osiris
Whosoever knoweth how to use these words of power
Against the serpent shall be as one
Who doth not enter upon his fiery path
